1969 Buick Le Sabre. 350 4 barrel. That thing could pass anything but a gas station.
I bought it for $50.00 because it had a broken flex plate. After I replaced it, I found out the front end was totally worn out and loose. I drove it for a year like that, then entered it in a demolition derby.
The trunk was so huge, I was able to haul engines in it, as well as my tools. They don't make cars like that any more.

i'd like to say my 04" Pontiac gto,but...
the gas mileage in that car is actually pretty good,and by adding a K&N air intake,it gives me an additional-2-3 miles per gallon

To run 10s you have to make a decent amount of power and tie the frame well enough to put the power down. What was the engine setup and the suspension layout?

the biggest gas guzzler i have ever owned has got to be,hands down,ANY of my boats!!!
in the one i have now,with just a yamaha 50hp 2 stroke,i can burn through $70-$80[22 gallons] worth of fuel in about 4-5 hours,without even half trying.
when i had boats with bigger motors,like 115hp,or 225hp,it was REALLY!! bad!!!!
[that why i sold them...it was too expensive to operate them!] '~'
i have yet to see any car,or truck that burns as much fuel as even a mid-size boat!!
