speaking of old cars with horrible steering,the car I've owned and least liked was a four hundred dolla running wreck from the local scrap yard.An 88 corolla, the lil thing was a tiny shoe box of a car that handled just like the huge silverado I learned to drive,but without the ton of extra steal round you for protection and power...the thing was gutless as fuck,I was afraid of going up steep hills for fear it would die half way and roll backwards,and it had the habit of dieing at intersections,and not while stopped either.It would die just as you entered the intersection after stoping....the seat belts would argue with you whether you were trying to buckle or unbuckle them,and even thou it was gutless and tiny shoe box,you could stand on the brakes and it might notice your request to decelerate at some future date.The thing was a complete death trap,but still fun to mob on shitty back roads.Didn't have to worry bout getting it stuck cause it was light nuff to push and I didn't care if I killed it cause it was such a piece of shit anyway.I later found out they made a four wheel drive version of it,and I can see why,it took dirt"roads"like a champ.
and like all old Toyotas I've driven,it had the fun little trick where you could take the key out of the ignition and it would still run....in fact the corolla would start if you used anything "key" like,including pen caps and scissors,and after killing the engine,the thing would rock,shake and gurgle for several moments,as if it wanted to keep going whether you wanted it to or not.
