100 Worst Cars of All Time
The Awful, Hideous, Heinous Lumps That Shaped Our World
2006 Pontiac Solstice Picture
100. 2006 Pontiac Solstice: Star-crossed idea executed with parts bin technology, a ridiculous top, goofy cockpit and a trunk taxed by a single T-shirt. It was supposed to save Pontiac. Instead this overweight, underpowered, crudely engineered P.O.S. helped kill it. | December 09, 2011
If there weren't bad cars, how could the world appreciate the good ones? Since we already went through the Top 100 Vehicles of All-Time, here's a look at some truly awful vehicles. Some of them were fragile. Many were dynamically iffy. A lot were underpowered. And a few would melt into a pile of rust before your eyes.
Terrible, for this list's purposes, is loosely defined as a car that shaped current American automotive culture around its bad example. That doesn't mean that all the cars here were big sellers, only that their undeniable stink made everyone notice.
The diabolical nature of these machines, however, is that there's a good idea at the heart of all of them. But it's a good idea betrayed by half-effort engineering, haphazard quality and cynical compromises.
100. 2006 Pontiac Solstice: Star-crossed idea executed with parts bin technology, a ridiculous top, goofy cockpit and a trunk taxed by a single T-shirt. It was supposed to save Pontiac. Instead this overweight, underpowered, crudely engineered P.O.S. helped kill it.
99. 1967 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe: Neat little two-door ruined by the lousy Russian-made steel Fiat used. Rust was standard equipment on every 124 Sport Coupe.
98. 1988 Eagle Premier: AMC's last gasp was this boring box built around the Renault 25 chassis. Also sold as the Dodge Monaco for no apparent reason.
97. 1999 Daewoo Nubira: For a brief, not-so-shining moment, Korea's Daewoo sold cars in the United States. No one noticed and the Nubira is why.
96. 1992 Acura Vigor: A clumsy, redressed Accord with a longitudinally mounted five-cylinder engine. It was the first of too many Acuras that have been easy to dislike.
95. 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP: Shoving a 303-horsepower, 5.3-liter LS4 V8 into the front-drive Grand Prix was silly. Having front tires wider than the rears was just plain stupid.
94. 1996 Ariel Atom: Its nickname is the "woman repellent." Perfect for the track, utter misery on any road. A helmet isn't just for safety; it's the driver's roof, windshield and HVAC system. Helmet also keeps anyone you know from seeing you drive it.
93. 1989 Vector W8: Gerald Wiegert's 625-hp, $400,000-plus folly was obsolete by the time it finally hit production. Only 17 reached customers — and they needed to be shadowed by a flatbed.
92. 1997 General Motors EV1: Advanced technology produces an all-electric that rides poorly, can't haul anything and has the range of a Tyco R/C car. Set electric cars back at least a decade.
91. 1978 Dodge Challenger: A Mitsubishi Galant coupe wears the name of a muscle car legend. The top engine? A 2.6-liter four making — GACK! — 105 hp. The base 2.0-liter puked out only 77 ponies.
90. 2000 Saleen S7: With 550 hp onboard, theoretically it was awesome. But actually it was fragile and just smelled like a kit car. Twin-turbo version came in 2005 at 750 hp with a $585,296 sticker.
89. 2004 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti: A big, blundering, bulbous four-seat Ferrari. The 5.7-liter V12 made 532 hp, but that wasn't enough to pull off the ugly. More Buick than Ferrari.
88. 1993 Ford Aspire: Built by Kia, sold by Ford and ignored by everyone. Basically a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine and four wheels bolted to a prison cell.
87. 1989 Geo Metro: Suzuki-made, three-cylinder icon of economic marginalization. Tonight's pizza will be delivered in one. It was even worse as a soggy-chassis convertible.
86. 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV: Plastic-bodied van with an aardvark nose and dashboard top big enough to host a track meet. The Chevy along with its Pontiac or Oldsmobile equivalent were so stupid-looking they were nicknamed the dustbuster vans.
85. 1987 Volkswagen Fox: VW brings a version of the "Gol" up from Brazil for U.S. consumption. The 1.8-liter four makes 80 hp and feeds a four-speed manual transmission.
84. 2001 Jaguar X-Type: Spitting on its own heritage, Jag takes the Ford Mondeo and forces it to wear shrunken XJ sheet metal. It was an insult to loyal Jaguar owners and a joke to everyone else.
83. 1978 Volvo 262C: Italy's Bertone turns Volvo's boxy 260 Series into a two-door coupe only Stockholm's dumbest pimp could love.
82. 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible: It's the front-drive Cutlass no one liked without all that pesky structural integrity. Like driving a cracked egg.
81. 1973 Austin Allegro: Thankfully never exported to America. Underpowered and featuring a problematic "Hydragas" pneumatic suspension, it's the car Top Gear loves to hate.
80. 1980 Rover 3500: Powered by a 133-hp 3.5-liter V8 set adrift by Buick. The body would rot when driven near any body of water, including wading pools and coffee cups.
79. 1985 Hyundai Excel: It cost $4,995, but wasn't worth it. Built from Mitsubishi leftovers, this is the car whose haphazard heritage Hyundai has been striving to overcome ever since.
78. 1974 Mazda Rotary Pickup: The high-revving Wankel engine was ill-suited to any truck. And this is the truck that proved it. Had the hauling capacity of a shopping cart.
77. 1999 Toyota Echo: Awkward successor to the mediocre Tercel. Austere in the most plastic of ways, it's such a bucket it should come with a mop. Roxy Edition was just a joke.
76. 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier: Chevy's first front-drive small car is underpowered, sloppily constructed and apparently dissolvable in ordinary rainwater.
75. 1974 Datsun F10: The first front-drive Nissan in America is legendarily ugly in both appearance and rough-hewn operation. Known as the Cherry in Japan.
74. 1979 Datsun 280ZX: The fatter, clumsier, overwrought successor to the original Z-car. It sold well through the disco era, but sucked and is universally unloved today.
73. 1984 Ford Bronco II: Tipsy, short-wheelbase SUV based on the Ranger pickup. Rode like there were rocks in its tires. Replaced by the massively popular, four-door Explorer.
72. 1974 Bricklin SV-1: Malcolm Bricklin promised a safe sports car. He delivered a plastic, gullwing-doored weirdo with the suspension and powertrain of an AMC Hornet. Makes the DeLorean look like an engineering magnum opus.
71. 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo: Replacing the T/A's beloved 400-cubic-inch V8 with a turbocharged and carbureted 301-cube version wasn't a good idea. It was a slow grenade.
70. 1953 Chevrolet Corvette: A fiberglass body atop an archaic chassis powered by a lame 155-hp six. And the transmission was a two-speed automatic. The first Corvette was crap.
69. 1989 Ford Thunderbird: It was too big, much too heavy and too expensive to produce. Initially available only with V6 engines, it was slow, too. It's the car that killed the T-Bird.
68. 1987 Sterling 825: Rebadged Rover 800-Series was based on the V6-powered Acura Legend, but was unreliable and rust-prone anyhow. Paint hardly even stuck to it and the electrics lasted a few weeks if you were lucky.
67. 1957 Renault Dauphine: The rear-engine, 32-hp Dauphine made VW's Beetle seem quick. According to Road & Track it took 22.3 seconds for a 1962 Dauphine to reach 60 mph.
66. 2008 Smart Fortwo: Not bad-looking, but unpleasant to drive in every conceivable way. May have the most annoying transmission ever made.
65. 1985 Subaru XT: Subaru at its weirdest. Styled with a cleaver, inside the XT featured a wacky steering wheel with one horizontal and one vertical spoke and controls in pods behind it. Then it got weirder.
64. 1983 Plymouth Caravelle: A stretched K-Car that no one noticed when it was in production and no one misses today. Plain in every way, it's the most boring car ever made.
63. 1983 Chrysler Executive Limousine: ASC takes a LeBaron K-Car coupe, stretches it out, adds LeBaron sedan front doors, and the result is this not-prestigious, fully dopey limo. About 1,500 were sold before production ended in 1986.
62. 1960 Chevrolet Corvair: Nader had a point; the rear swing-axle-equipped, rear-engine Corvair did have diabolical handling at the limit. But the second-gen '65 Corvair was sweet.
61. 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe: The base third-generation Camaro was powered by the 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four rated at 90 hp. That's 90, thrashing, noisy, crude horses — total — in a Camaro.
60. 2003 Chevrolet SSR: Spoiled by its ridiculously heavy retractable hardtop and underwhelming TrailBlazer chassis. It could have been great; instead it was grating.
59. 1975 Chevrolet Monza: Variation on the flimsy Vega that could be ordered with a 262-cubic-inch small-block V8 that only made 110 hp and needed to be tilted with a hoist to change its rearmost spark plugs.
58. 1984 Pontiac Fiero: GM destroys its own good idea by cheapening it out with a Chevette front suspension and the heinous 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four. And on occasion, it would spontaneously combust.
57. 1973 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4: Ferrari's first V8 was its crummiest. Angular Bertone bodywork covered a cramped 2+2 cockpit and the yet-to-be-sorted 230-hp 3.0-liter V8.
56. 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite: Desperate to grab some of the personal luxury market, Ford swipes Mercury's Cougar coupe sheet metal, gives it an uglier nose and then misnames it. This was cynical rebadging at its worst.
55. 1981 Maserati Biturbo: Kind of like a BMW 3 Series, only hideously unreliable and powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.5-liter V6 that only made 185 hp. Interior leather on these ages faster than dogs.
54. 1987 Subaru Justy: That it was powered by a three-cylinder engine and available with a continuously variable transmission is enough to put it on this list.
53. 1976 Chevrolet Chevette: Instead of trying to build a world-class small car of its own, Chevy opts for a cheesy, primitive Opel design that's a decade out of date. Yet it stays in production through 1987.
52. 1980 Chevrolet Citation: Chevrolet's first front-drive machine proves to be legendarily unreliable and one of the most recalled cars of all time. Yes, the Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile X-Cars were just as awful.
51. 1958 Ford Thunderbird: The delicate, elegant and sweet two-seat original T-Bird is replaced by this clumsy, massive, overwrought four-seater. Unfortunately it's hugely popular.
50. 1955 Dodge La Femme: The Custom Royal Lancer all girly with pink trim and a special calfskin pink purse. Few were sold because, apparently, transvestism isn't good marketing. Discontinued after the '56 model year.
49. 2006 Saab 9-7X: The only Saab ever built in Moraine, Ohio, was a gussied-up Chevy TrailBlazer. It's definitive proof that GM's ownership of Saab was completely misbegotten.
48. 1975 Clenet Series I: An MG Midget body on a Mercury Cougar chassis with massive fiberglass fenders. The Clenet was a disgrace to the term "classic" and the shame of Santa Barbara, California, where it was built.
47. 1975 Triumph TR7: British Leyland's lame attempt to reinvent the British sports car for the 1970s. An underpowered, four-cylinder, wedge-shaped hardtop that seemed to disintegrate around its owners.
46. 1968 Volkswagen 411/412: The large, awkward Type 4 was the last gasp for rear-mounted air-cooled engines at VW. But it was so lousy that the company replaced it with the sweet-natured Passat.
45. 1969 Porsche 914: Originally designed as a VW, this midengine, four-cylinder breadbox was never a "real Porsche" to the hard-core. OK, even the medium-core didn't think it was a real Porsche.
44. 1975 Rolls-Royce Camargue: Pininfarina designed the body for this two-seat version of the Silver Shadow. Boring and weirdly proportioned, it looked like an oversize Volvo.
43. 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300SD: As the first turbocharged diesel sedan, it's important. But the five-cylinder engine only made 110 hp and it had a big S-Class to haul around. That's misery.
42. 2006 Dodge Caliber SRT-4: Lesson in how to build a bad performance car, start with a bad car. Replaced the wonderful Neon SRT-4, but it was too big and too ugly. Completely undesirable despite its turbocharged 285 hp.
41. 1975 Bristol 412: Britain's most hideous bespoke gentleman's express. The Zagato-built body rode on an ancient Bristol chassis, with a Chrysler 383-cubic-inch V8 tasked with outrunning the nasty looks.
40. 1989 Lotus Elan: Corporate synergy results in a front-drive Lotus two-seat sports roadster powered by an Isuzu engine. Who to blame? GM. It owned Lotus at the time and controlled Isuzu.
39. 1978 Chevrolet C/K Diesel: The dread Oldsmobile diesel makes it into Chevy's half-ton pickup, making 125 hp. The same black smoke magic that ruined GM's cars does the same to the pickups.
38. 1923 Chevrolet Series M: Chevy's experiment with air-cooled engines used individual cylinders fitted with copper fins. About 500 were built and virtually all were recalled and scuttled.
37. 1973 Datsun B210: Awful and primitive Nissan that benefitted from debuting atop the 1973 OPEC oil embargo. Nasty handling and built so lightly the sheet metal was nearly diaphanous.
36. 2002 GEM: Built to NHTSA "Low Speed Vehicle" regulations rigged for it to succeed, this electric vehicle is nonetheless allowed to operate on roads alongside real cars. Not much more than a golf cart.
35. 1970 Triumph Stag: Seemingly infinite problems with its 3.0-liter SOHC V8 engine and dim Lucas electric parts made this Michelotti-designed four-seat roadster a poster child for British Leyland ineptitude.
34. 1950 Crosley Hotshot: Best name ever put on a terrible car. The 750cc engine's block wasn't cast, but welded together from various pieces. Amazing so much ugly could rest on a car this small.
33. 1986 Suzuki Samurai: A real 4x4 with off-road ability, but it was too small and too unstable for actual highway use. Had the build quality of a high school shop class project.
32. 1971 Plymouth Cricket: Plymouth's response to the Pinto and Vega is a rebadged Hillman Avenger. It was a flimsy British disaster with too little power and suicidal tendencies.
31. 1975 Chevrolet Corvette: Base power for '75 was the ZQ3 350-cubic-inch V8 rated at — ACK! — 165 hp. The optional L82 version of the 350 only wheezed out 205 horses. An abomination.
30. 1954 Nash Metropolitan: Combining the worst of 1950s American design with British half-baked engineering and haphazard assembly. Tipsy around corners, so it was good that its 1.2-liter Austin engine kept it slow.
29. 1977 Lincoln Versailles: Responding to the challenge of the Cadillac Seville, Lincoln takes the Mercury Monarch, adds a continental bump on the trunk and a Mark IV grille up front, and tries to pass it off as sophisticated.
28. 1976 Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare: At Chrysler's nadir, it built these strictly conventional compact cars that are nonetheless terribly built and rust-prone. Subject to a long series of recalls.
27. 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx SS: Kind of a station wagon, but with less utility and style. The worst car ever built to wear Chevy's "SS" name.
26. 1990 Infiniti M30 Convertible: Spongy suspension, lackluster drivetrain and a soggy structure was enough to doom the M30. Infiniti almost didn't survive this car.
25. 1980 Cadillac Seville: A front-drive atrocity with a weird bustle on its behind. Ruined the goodwill established by the first, rear-drive Seville. The super-lousy V8-6-4 engine was added for '81.
24. 1996 Ford Taurus: The bulbous blob redesign of Ford's best-selling sedan that effectively killed it in the retail market. Weird when it didn't need to be.
23. 1987 Cadillac Allante: Pointless, front-drive roadster that was ludicrously expensive thanks to Pininfarina building its bodies in Italy and then air-shipping them in 747s to Detroit for completion. Embarrassing attempt to take on the Mercedes SL.
22. 1997 Cadillac Catera: An oafish 3,900-pound German Opel with a 200-hp English V6 slowly lugging it through a French four-speed automatic. It took three countries to build this crap — and GM to call it a Cadillac.
21. 1978 Fiat Strada/Ritmo: Disposable front-drive subcompact that was so poorly built that Fiat fled North America in shame in 1983. It wouldn't return for 28 years.
20. 1975 AMC Pacer: Desperate AMC bets on weird and wide small car with a fishbowl greenhouse and archaic six-cylinder drivetrain. It's been an icon of disenfranchised losers ever since.
19. 1970 AMC Gremlin: AMC buys into the subcompact market by slicing off the tail of the compact Hornet. Powered by AMC's ancient six or V8, it runs second only to its brother the Pacer in Loserland.
18. 2011 Aston Martin Cygnet: A $47,000 restyled Toyota (er, Scion) iQ. Necessary to meet EU fleet emissions standards, it's nonetheless a betrayal of all things Aston.
17. 1982 Renault Fuego: Fragile, front-drive French coupe that rusted quickly into dust or burst into flames amid random electrical fires. Recalled for steering wheels that came off in drivers' hands.
16. 1971 Ford Pinto: Built to a $2,000 base price, the subcompact Pinto lacks protection for its rear-mounted fuel tank. It earns a reputation as a fire-prone death trap and Ford pays out millions in judgments.
15. 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati: Stupid combination of front-drive K-Car bits, indifferent Maserati assembly in Italy and a two-seat roadster body that was indistinguishable from a LeBaron. It's both the worst Maserati and worst Chrysler ever.
14. 1968 Lamborghini Espada: Bizarre sci-fi styling over an ill-sorted, hideously complex chassis with a thirsty 4.0-liter, 325-hp V12 under the hood. The first Lambo offered with an automatic transmission.
13. 1974 Reliant Robin: Ludicrously unstable three-wheeler that turns turtle on its plastic body at the slightest provocation. Fortunately, with a 750cc engine, it was underpowered, too.
12. 1983 Renault Alliance: AMC-built, Americanized version of the front-drive, 60-hp Renault 9 subcompact — monochrome paint and whitewalls. Worse, in '85 came a convertible so droopy, the doors often couldn't close.
11. 1917 Chevrolet Series D: Chevy's first V8 could only manage 36 hp — less than the brand's four. Killed after 1918, the next Chevy V8 came a full 37 years later.
10. 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Diesel: As bad as the 5.7-liter Olds diesel V8 was, the 4.3-liter version was worse. Sold only in the '79 Cutlass, the 4.3 diesel made 90 hp before shattering into shrapnel.
9. 1957 Trabant: East Germany's two-cylinder, two-stroke disaster that stayed in production even after the Berlin Wall fell. One more reason why Communism is evil.
8. 1982 Cadillac Cimarron: Shameful, cynical attempt to compete against BMW with a redecorated version of the front-drive, four-cylinder Chevrolet Cavalier. A self-inflicted wound that nearly killed Cadillac.
7. 1958 Edsel Corsair: Ford goes hunting for a market niche that wasn't there with a redecorated Mercury that had been beaten with an ugly stick. The legendary flop of all automotive flops.
6. 2003 Saturn Ion: Shockingly incompetent to drive and with a stupid interior to match. Kick it and your foot could get stuck in the gaps between the plastic body panels. Easily the second worst car of the 21st century.
5. 1971 Chevrolet Vega: An engine that couldn't hold oil, in a car built with contempt for its buyers. It's the car that invited Americans to buy Toyotas and Hondas. However, it did make a good Pro Stock racer.
4. 1987 Yugo: A Serbian-made version of the Fiat 127 that couldn't possibly be as awful as its low price suggested. But it was! Currently celebrating its 25th anniversary as shorthand for automotive crap.
3. 1955 BMW Isetta: Originally designed by Italy's Iso, BMW built the atrocious, single-cylinder 12-hp, one-door Isetta for 7 years. Parked nose-in to a wall, the door wouldn't open. The whole car was a crumple zone.
2. 1974 Ford Mustang II: Built upon the spindly bones of the Pinto, this shrunken, malformed pony is instantly appalling to Mustang lovers. And, unfortunately, hugely popular with buyers stuck with serial fuel crises.
1. 2001 Pontiac Aztek: Drive one and you quickly realize that the Aztek's exterior design is its best feature. It's the very worst car of all time because it's the only car on the list to kill an 84-year-old car company. It's undeniable that the Aztek's utter hideousness drove the biggest and last nails into Pontiac's heavily side-clad, plastic coffin.

what a ridiculous list. First of all, there is no such thing as a 1993 Ford Apire. Secondly, I have been driving my 1994 Ford Aspire 50 miles a day to and from work and with 170K miles on it, it still runs like new with 30-31 mpg with an automatic tranny to boot.larrysjazz Posts:
Awesome article John. I had tears with your witty descriptions and your #1 is dead on.larrysjazz Posts:
BTW Idaho4, just because your car works for you doesn't make the list illegitimate. I'm sure a there is quite a few of these stinkers still on the road.gcgjohnson Posts:
Okay. I'm now officially a loser. I've had a Datsun B210, a Sterling 825, 2 Jaguar X Types, AMC Gremlin, Pacer, and Renault Alliance and Fuego. My wife had a Pinto. Those Jaguars were nice cars though. I disagree that they should be included. I've sold the Chevrolet Citation and Chevette, but fortunately, never had to misrepresent a Vega.chrislanc Posts:
The BMW Isetta was not a "worst" car when viewed within the context of it's time and place: Mid 1950s Europe. This was post war Europe when many still traveled small villages and cities by bicycle or motorbike because they could not afford to buy an automobile and purchase gasoline which was expensive. And there were many small alley's and parking places. In that time and place people were delighted to have a chance at car ownership, and to have a car that was very fuel efficient. For them, it was a motorcycle that they could sit in and stay out of the rain and wind. Indeed, the first Isettas utilized motorbike engines; but that didn't bother these customers who were used to riding motorbikes. And they could park it in many of the same places they had parked their motorcycle because it was only 7 feet long...that's convenience! BMW was a smart operation in those days. They didn't fall into the Isetta by mistake. They saw the working version as originally built by ISO and saw a place for it in the market of those days. And BMW as right, ask them and their 170,000+ customers!mrdirect Posts:
John, some of the funniest stuff I've ever read from you...pant peeing quality at times! Regardless of whether or not I agree with everything on the list, it's terrific fun and every car mentioned deserves the raspberry...perhaps it's the venue that makes some people just oblivious to the humor... I loved it! And I'm glad to find you writing here.tennisguy1 Posts:

Also I think this list is great, I believe the guys from Top Gear USA would completely agree with it.bertab63 Posts:
Where are the Toyota's, Acura's and Honda's on this list. It seems that there is a bias about Japanese cars today. They aren't superior to American made cars today. When they first came to the US most folks wouldn't have them. Is there not one that would qualif for the top 100 worst?heliades Posts:
I'm happy to report that we purchased a 1978 Chevy Chevette brand new and drove it until 1997, trading it in for a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis(which we still have). The Chevette was driven to California and back on one trip, to Florida and back once, and to Texas several times. It only had a little over 103,000 on the odometer after 19 years of mainly city driving. Once the floor(when it was 14 years)rusted through near the accelerator, but I promptly found a welding shop which remedied the situation, and drove it for 5 more years daily to work. We kept it maintained regularly, and in 19 years only changed the valve cover gasket once. Sometimes I actually wish we still had it for a backup vehicle. Some good memories with it.wownerdftw Posts:
Number 43, worst car of all time, the 300SD Mercedes. A five-cylinder turbo-diesel that would get 30 miles per gallon and an engine that would last 400,000 miles regularly. The Mercedes 300SD was put on this list because it had "too little horse-power" for a luxury car. At the time it was made, it was the safest, most reliable car in the world. It was also the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in the world. This car should have been somewhere on the 100 Greatest Cars of All Time list. But a car that can't burn rubber from a stop light is not thought of very highly by our Nascar buddies here at Edmunds.hotshotman Posts:
I don't know if this would fit but in 1995 GM did a real bonehead thing they chose 5 vehicles and put a specially designed engine in them the only problem was if the engine went the only engine that would fir was one from one of those cars believe me it took me 2 months to find one and eventually it went also one was a Pontiac Bonneville so if anyone is considering making a purchase of one of these cars note that you have been warnedhotshotman Posts:

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is one of the prettiest cars ever made, tons of power and a top speed of 199 mph. Who ever wrote this is a fool who most likely never drove one.hatetrix Posts:
This so called list is hilarious! Seems that it was written by someone who has no passion for the road. But lets see Edmunds response to this :Pbrunsworks Posts:
There's a problem with your number 1 pick, the Aztek. It can't be "undeniable that the Aztek's utter hideousness drove the biggest and last nails into Pontiac's heavily side-clad, plastic coffin," since even on your own list, the underpowered primitive 2006 Pontiac Solstice, which was still on the drawing board when the last Azteks rolled off the line, came later, especially since you note that the Solstice, which, again, came later, also helped kill the company. Also, while the GMT-250 was far from a great crossover, it was a pretty decent short wheelbase minivan for the era, as evidenced by sales and reliability figures for the much less-unattractive Buick Rendezvous, which was the other vehicle to share that platform with the Aztek. I'm not saying that the Aztek doesn't belong on this list, but it simply can't be bad enough to top the other vehicles on here, all of which were less reliable and in some cases (the Robin Reliant, the Renault Fuego, and of course, the Ford Pinto) downright suicidal. Heck, the Aztek isn't even the most uninspired design choice on this very list (see also the Lincoln Versailles, the AMC Gremlin, and of course, the extremely cynical Cadillac Cimarron), and far from the ugliest (see also the AMC Pacer). I'd put it down around the Toyota Echo.jensenboy Posts:
i could not help look at your top 100 cars you picked and i would agree on many but no way.sorry many british cars are good.snd not ugly i can say with truth alot if many of cars today i would not lower myself to drive and when it comes to ugly cars there are many around today.driven_it_all Posts:
Sad to see the 79 280zx on here (may as well include 79-83). Yeah they were made heavier, but were more of a cruiser instead of a racer. Totally disagree with the universally unloved today comment. These cars still have a big following and hold values well.mawgui Posts:
If there were to be a 100 Worst Lists list, count on it that this would be at the top. One wonders if the John Pearley (really?) actually knew anything about half the cars he presumed to criticize. That Rover sold forever in Europe: watch any cop show of the 80's of 90's and you'll see one with a cherry on top. Corvair a lousy car? That is lack of experience talking. I could go on and on but why bother. I've already put more thought into this comment than was invested in the entirety of that list!schotzy1 Posts:
who wrote this ? i find some of these cars in autions all over the USA and going for alot of money. So ,who ever wrote this better go do there homework againosman2 Posts:
I've noticed in the past that Edmunds has been a Chrysler basher mainly because they were used a lot for daily rentals. I'm 83 years old and have had most makes of cars in my day, but I have found Chrysler products the most cost efficient car. & I guess that's why they were used for daily rentals. the interior doesn't crack up like Cadillac & foreign cars. so really, John I don't put much faith in your choices. from experience I have a better opinion. Your remarks of the Chrysler T.C. made by Maserati is totally uninformed through ignorance.pewilliams Posts:
2006 Kia Spectra was terrible with the transmission problem. My Kia did not want to call it a lemon until BBB asked them to fix it. I got a new car, there was not a fix.motowncountry Posts:
number 1 the aztek? horrible to drive? no way. I owned one...and i remember driving in bad snow weather...and it was driving like there was no snow...while everyone else was super cautious and going slow...i was driving as normal. and i converted a lot of haters once they sat inside the car. so your list is moot!Leave a CommentADVERTISEMENT

Milk and Honey (group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Milk and Honey (disambiguation).
Milk and Honey (Hebrew: חלב ודבש Chalav U'Dvash) was an Israeli singing group consisting of Re'uven Gvitrz, Shmulik Bilu and Yehuda Tamir. The group performed with Gali Atari at the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, where they won with the song, "Hallelujah". Their track peaked in the UK Singles Chart at #5 in April 1979.[1] They made two further attempts to represent Israel in the contest. In 1981 they sang the song "Serenada" which came fourth in the national final. 1989 saw them slip to eighth place with Ani Ma'amin. On both occasions, the group were joined by the female vocalist Lea Lupatin.

Heart Rate Monitor Training Membership Site
Ask yourself 5 questions and be honest!!!
- Do I know EXACTY how many calories I burn in the day and or during a workout?
- Do I know EXACTLY what my heart rate is while I am training or performing cardio so I can adjust it by raising or lowering my resistance?
- Do I know how EXACTLY how many calories I need to eat to lose or gain weight?
- Do I know I am REALLY trying besides my own opinion of my efforts, a wet shirt or weight lost?
- Do I feel good about training and dieting without having any sort of real (EXACT) accountability?
I realized my answers to these questions when asked were the same as yours; NO. So I spent the next several years learning, practicing and evolving my heart rate training equation on myself and others producing amazing transformations all over the world.
I am now proud to bring you the Kimmerleplan! An online training membership site teaching you how to use a heart rate monitor to become a better athlete, build muscle and burn fat all at the same time. This site has not been up long and we already have transformations of all ages and sizes all over the world proving that it works.
Take the guess work out of your life, wear a heart rate monitor and figure out how many calories you're burning so you can figure out how many calories you need to eat to reach your goal.
- While strength training or performing cardio you will use the watch to adjust your effort, slow down or speed up, add more weight or lessen it.
- You will know what the numbers are supposed to be because you have a Kimmerleplan.com membership.
- You will know how to do the workout because you will have access to over 400 videos.
- You will know what to eat because you will fill out a calculator and it will give you numbers and you will use them to choose a meal plan.
- You will get empowered and find motivation because you will be a member of Team DK on Facebook that only members of the Kimmerleplan have access to members all over the world using the same equation.
- You will know it is working because your image in the mirror will change, your measurements will change and your health will improve.
It is simple, technology has evolved and workouts have not! We have been doing the same exercises for 40 years, we can rename them and make different equipment but those are not real game changers, a real game changer is knowing exactly what your heart rate is and what it should be by the second. Nothing has changed the ability to reach physical potential more than this technology in the recent past, learn it, use it, create a relationship with it, trust it and believe in the plan; your potential is waiting.
Below is a brief description of what you will get; check out the about us section for more.
Learn how to train in the gym, at home, on a bike or outdoors using a heart rate monitor to help you adjust your efforts. This technology is like a gps on a phone, it can keep you on track all the way to your destination. Use the heart rate charts I personally wrote to tell you where your heart rate should be while training specific muscle groups and performing cardio; the calculator will give you your personal zones.
There is over 400 videos in the membership site to use as reference, ranging from how to different exercises to how to make kefir; you can also train with us by just clicking play and following along in your living room. These videos range from 25 seconds to over an hour long, use them to stay empowered, educated and entertained.
Use the calculator to determine the calories needed for your goal. Head over to the prewritten meal plans that thousands have used to change their health and bodies. These meal plans have been written to gain muscle and lose fat, supplementation is provided and more are being uploaded weekly.

Crocs Sport double thumbs up!
I love the Croc sport. They are durable with double heavy duty soles and give my active 2.8 year old granddaughter ample traction on all surface. They run on the large side and are wide enough to accomodates thicker socks on cold days. She adores her Crocs and loves to add jibbits !

Round 3 of the 2013 World Superbike Championship produced another couple of engrossing races, as Kawasaki rider Tom Sykes took his first victory of the season in Race 1 while Eugene Laverty bounced back from a round to forget in Aragón to win the second race at the Dutch track.
In the first race Sykes cleared off at the front to win by an impressive 8.7s, as he put on an unforgiving display of precision and high intensity. The real show took place behind him as Jonathan Rea, Sylvain Guintoli and Laverty scrapped it out for the remaining two podium spots.
In the end Rea was able to hold off Guintoli – by just 0.006s – for second and the Honda rider's first top-three finish of the 2013 campaign, while Aprilia man Guintoli added more valuable points to his haul as he protected his lead at the top of the standings.
In the second race Laverty's displeasure at missing out on the podium in the first encounter drove him to victory, but he had to work hard for it and also deny Sykes a double race win in the process.
The pair engaged in a fight out front with what would eventually amount to a 5s-plus gap to the remainder of the field. It was in the end Laverty who managed his drive out of the last corner on the final lap best, pipping Sykes to victory by 0.089s, with Loris Baz sealing third by a similar margin ahead of Rea.
The results see Guintoli maintain top spot in the overall standings after three rounds, and the Frenchman now stands on 111 points. Laverty, Chaz Davies and Sykes all have 83 points each and occupy positions two to four, with Rea's weekend haul moving him up to fifth in the ranking.
Next up for the Championship is Monza in two weeks' time.

Gossip Girl Season 5 Blooper Reel: CUT!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
What's not to love about bloopers, fails, goofs and on-set gags?
Not a lot. The Gossip Girl Season 5 DVD gag reel features several minutes of the best outtakes from the set of the CW drama. It's always fun to see our favorite actors let loose ... and mess up their lines:

Did Caroline Lagerfelt ad-lib the bit about "I slept with him ... and him ..."?
It's hilarious. It should have been in the show.
How come nobody has commented that this was insaley short? Yet there were good bloopers, just that in past seasons there were near 10 minutes of this.

The European Commission today decided to refer Portugal to the Court of Justice of the European Union for its incorrect application of the rules on airport groundhandling.
The EU alleges the rules regarding baggage handling, ramp handling and freight and mail handling are not being complied with at Lisbon, Porto and Faro airports, saying that the airports' selection of groundhandling suppliers was not conducted in accordance with the European Directive 96/67/EC, which opens the groundhandling services market at airports to competition.
The EC said in a written statement it is concerned that this results in "uneven conditions" between possible groundhandlers, as well as additional costs and lower service quality for airlines and passengers.

The Animated Adaptation of the Legion of Super-Heroes comic book series. Ran for two seasons, 2006-2008, abruptly ending with a hook for the third season that never came.When the series opens, the 31st-century Legion is hopelessly outclassed by the famed Fatal Five. They resolve to recruit the near-mythical Superman from the past, but for undisclosed reasons, Brainiac 5 brings them to Smallville, not Metropolis. There they invite 18-year-old Clark Kent to help them in The Future, promising that with Time Travel, he can return the minute he left.At Brainy's insistence, everyone studiously avoids telling Clark who he's supposed to become in the future. Regardless, Clark finds the Superman Museum, connects the dots, and takes the costume from the display case, and the name of Superman, for his own. Together they defeat the Five, and then Adventures Happen.The show had a very Silver Age tone to it, but the most noticeable and controversial change from the source material was turning team genius Brainiac 5 from a Human Alien into an android. Word of God is that this was supposed to tie him more closely to his ancestor the original Brainiac, as well as avoiding having to explain how an an organic can be the 'descendant' of a robot, clearing away a fifty-year-old example of Writing Around Trademarks.Season Two saw everyone age about two years, even Brainy, and the show went Darker and Edgier after the very light and bouncy first season. The premiere visited a Bad Future where Superman's clone was bred to fight Galactic Conqueror Imperiex, who when cornered escapes back to the 31st century and proceeds to wreak havoc as the season's Big Bad.The series had its own comic series, Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century, which ran for 20 issues, some of them taking place after the end of the show.The character sheet can be found here.

Clover Flower Frill Templates
Gifted by Clover
Fabric flowers are so popular right now, but sometimes it's hard to figure out how to make them. Following a pattern is always a good idea, but using an easy "flip and fold" template is an even better idea! The Flower frill templates come in four different sizes, two sizes per pack, and each pack comes with two copies of each template (so you and a friend can make flowers together!). To use, all you have to do is fold the cardboard template around a fabric square, cut around the top of the template, and repeat, hand sewing 15-25 shapes together to make a flower. This template is simple to use, and the illustrated instructions included in the pack are very user friendly. Such a simple concept yields a beautiful final product, fabric flowers that can be used as pins, hair accessories, embellishment for bags and clothing, and so many more things. Try the templates with different fabrics, mix and match template sizes, group the flowers together to make a bouquet, and just be creative. The Flower Frill Templates are a great way to faciliate your own creativity.

For ten years after WWII, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis weren't only the most successful show business act in history, they were history. Starting as a fill-in for another act in Atlantic city, their improvised, anarchic routines soon sold out all the greatest venues in America. They made films, they made millions. They made a legend. But amidst the dazzling success and the late night laughter, tensions developed between the reserved straight man, Martin, and the manic goon, Lewis. When the duo, who had reinvented the comic double-act, split acrimoniously in 1956 they didn't speak to one another for the next 20 years. This is an intimate memoir of those years of fame and success by one of the only surviving legends of the rat-pack era. Jerry Lewis remembers everything - the casinos, the mobsters, the endless pranks, the cocktails, the women, the meteoric rise to stardom. Here for the first and only time and in his own inimitable, wise-cracking voice he re-lives his days of glory with Dean Martin and gives a frank account of their relationship and break-up. A hilarious ride and heart-breaking, cautionary tale of what fame and fortune can do to love and friendship.

An anti-whaling activist has been indicted in Tokyo for illegally boarding the Shonan Maru II, a Japanese harpoon boat, as part of a protest against a whale hunting expedition in Antarctic seas.
Peter Bethune, a 44 year old activist from New Zealand, "was indicted on Friday for trespassing, causing injuries, obstructing commercial activities, vandalism and carrying a weapon", a spokeswoman at the Tokyo district court said.
Bethune, from the US-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, boarded the harpoon boat from a jet ski in Antarctic waters on February 15, allegedly carrying a knife which he used to cut a guard net as he boarded the ship. He was held on board and arrested when the ship returned to Japan on March 12. He has since been held in custody in Tokyo.
Ady Gil, the Sea Shepherd's powerboat, was sliced in two in a collision with the harpoon boat in January.
'Citizen's arrest'
Bethune had said he boarded the harpoon boat to make a citizen's arrest of the captain, for what he said was the attempted murder of his six crew, and to present him with a $3m bill for the destruction of the powerboat.
"Bethune inflicted a chemical burn on a Japanese whaler's face by hurling a bottle of butyric acid which smashed aboard the Shonan Maru II days before he boarded the ship," the prosecution brief said.
The Sea Shepherds described the bottles as containing "rancid butter stink-bombs".
Bethune faces assault and business obstruction charges, which each carry prison terms of up to 15 years or fines of up to $5,000.
"Our country will deal strictly with such cases under the law," Hirofumi Hirano, Japan's chief cabinet secretary, said, denying any plans to hold negotiations with the activist group.
The Sea Shepherds urged Australian police to prosecute the captain and crew of the harpoon boat over the collision and have described Bethune as a "political prisoner".
Commercial whaling was banned under a 1986 moratorium, but Japan still hunts whales for what it says are scientific research purposes.
Japan maintains that whaling has been part of its culture for centuries, and does not hide the fact that whale meat ends up in shops and restaurants.
The Sea Shepherd sends vessels to confront the fleet each year, trying to block the whalers from firing harpoons.
The whalers respond by firing water cannons and sonar devices meant to disorient the activists.
Clashes between the anti-whaling protesters and Japan's whaling fleet in Antarctic waters became increasingly confrontational this year, when the Sea Shepherd protest boat was sliced in two by the bow of a whale boat.
Australia has threatened to take Tokyo to the International Court of Justice unless it ceases its annual whale hunts by November. Some legal experts say Japan's hunt breaches international laws such as the Antarctic Treaty System.
A court challenge would lead to provisional orders for Japan to halt whaling immediately ahead of a full hearing.

Very happy with the quality of this bag, its roomy, nice pocket size and accessories that come with it, wipe holder, zip bag and changing pad. The orange internior is eye popping- very hip. I looked over a lot of diaper bags and finally decided on this one. I am 30 yrs old, a working professional and will continue to work as a mom. I really feel this bag will be great as a diaper bag and for my "purse" as needed on the wkends. I will not be a bag lady carrying my purse and diaper bag, ect. I also am happy with the exterior and the straps- canvas like and the straps are woven cotton. Easy to clean.
I love this diaper bag. I have to say that I had to return the first one because a button broke through the fabric after 3 days. I email Oioi and they shipped me a new one within a couple of days. Great service! The second bag has had no problems and it fits everything that I need to bring along with my two kids.
This is a great diaper bag. I wanted something a little bigger to make sure it could hold everything and this is the perfect size! It is also so cute looking!
I was so pleasantly surprised when this bag came. The orange inside I was a little not sure about but was gorgeous when I got it and blended better then shown on the pictures. Also a VERY nice quality bag. I didn't mind spending more money on a bag if it was a nice quality and when I got the bag I was so happy to see how beautiful and really good quality. Definitely worth the money.
I couldn't stand the thought of having to carry around a generic bag that screamed diapers. I am older and have been surprised by a late in life baby and I couldn't stand the thought of dragging around an ugly old bag. I love the style, the print and color work for me It is incredibly roomy. I like the changing pad but from experience know I won't use the plastic wipes case or the bottle holder...however they are useful for other things. I paid $$$ for this here but know it costs $160 everywhere else. I'll be using this for a few years so the expense is worth it for me. Even if not used for diapers, etc. it would be a great carry on bag or weekend bag.
Nice looking, well designed and useful diaper bag for a man or a woman.
Wonderful bag...I get awesome comments! Matches my car seat..has lots of pockets inside..the odd bottle holder is weird as it does not remove with ease...but the over all quality for my dollar ...excellent!!

More pics of the Saab 9-7x Aero
We told you pretty much all you needed to know about Saab's new 9-7x Aero when The General dropped the big news last week. With its 390-horse LS2 V8, the SUV has some giddyup awaiting the commands of your right foot, and the presence of the Saab-ified interior removes any doubt that this is easily the nicest Trailblazer SS ever. Who says badge engineering's all bad? GM's gone and released a whole bunch of new photos of the Saab's performance SUV, and you can scope 'em out in the attached gallery.

For my second fabric design I chose the occupation Financial Advisor for inspiration. You see, when I was younger I made the decision to attend a private art school even though I didn't really have the funds for such an institution. I graduated in 2008 into a miserable job market and a crashing economy. After four years of struggling to find a stable job while still making exorbitant student loan payments and paying crazy high rent, I finally achieved some financial stability. That's when I was lucky enough to meet my financial advisor, Jirayr. Jirayr helped me get my financial life back together when it all just seemed to complicated to handle. One of the most effective tools he used to help explain my situation and options was charts/graphs. Being able to visually picture my situation helped me understand exactly what was happening in my financial reality.
So, for my design, I chose my favorite kind of chart: Pie Charts!
Pie charts are not only an effective tool but they can be visually striking and beautiful.
When I started designing I tried out various types of graphs using paper collage. Then I started playing with scale, color and layout:
Next I went digital to play some more:
After I had many pie charts that I found appealing, I selected a few of my favorites and started playing. I experimented with different numbers of grouping and different layout but I kept coming back to the groupings of four. I liked the simplicity of four and how the individual elements didn't get lost as they did in the five and six based groupings. I also love the effect the negative space lends in the groupings of four.
Here is a shot of my design in a quilt block with my three coordinating colors:
I love the way the fabric is very geometric when viewed from close up and almost floral when viewed from far away. For my color story I wanted something that was playful and bright so I chose the deep orange and chartreuse. I also wanted some more subtle, elegant hues such as the khakis and blue-greys.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my second fabric! I don't think I've ever had so much fun designing something- EVER!

Suffolk park police to change unions -- again
Suffolk's park police, like a wandering band of Gypsies, is on the move.
The 37-member bargaining unit, once part of the Association of Municipal Employees, joined the 260-member deputy sheriffs union in 2006, and is about to switch again — this time to the Suffolk PBA.
Anthony Prudenti, president of the deputies union, said there was no opposition from his union to the park police move. The park police officers voted to decertify late last year from the deputies union. The change will officially go into effect in June after the state Public Employees Relations Board meets on May 31 to certify the election results.

PUNE: The number of fatalities in road mishaps in the city has once again crossed the 400-mark in one year. In 2011, as many as 417 people died in road mishaps in the city, as against 439 who lost their lives in the year 2010.
Traffic officials who expressed concern over the high number of fatalities say that the only comforting factor in the year 2011 was that the number of deaths have reduced.
Deputy commissioner of police (traffic) said on Monday that the number of fatal mishaps had shown a decrease in 2011 as compared to the corresponding figures in the year 2010. While there were 399 fatal mishaps in 2011, in the previous year the figure was 417. Asked to comment on the reasons why the number of fatal mishaps had reduced, Pandhre said that no one factor can be attributed for the reduction. `One can only say that motorists took the necessary precautions. the number can further come down if motorists follow safe driving practices'', he said. Awareness about road traffic safety is increasing, but it has to spread further, he added.

Building the Jewish Community in Munster, IN
We were excited to read some comments from Rabbi Ben Kramer of Beth Israel Synagogue in Munster, Indiana. In an article about his installation at Beth Israel, he talked about what it's like to be a rabbi in a small town where there is not a large Jewish infrastructure. He said it provides an opportunity "confront our Jewishness more frequently than Jews who live in heavily Jewish cities."
As a former rabbinic intern at JOI while pursuing his studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary, we were proud to see he has taken what he learned here and is now applying it to his congregation. He said:
"The idea that rejecting intermarried couples would lead to the conversion of the non-Jewish spouse, or even to a decline in the rate of intermarriage, has proven to be wrong," Kramer says. "While I believe we must continue to uphold the ideal of in-marriage, to do so does not necessitate alienating intermarried couples and intermarried families who are looking to raise their children in a Jewish home."
One of Kramer's many goals is helping each person to explore his or her Jewishness.
"My goal is building a community within our congregation by providing a warm and comfortable place for all Jews and to help them find an entryway into our tradition that is meaningful to them and will ignite in them a passion for deeper engagement with Judaism and with our community."
Welcoming intermarried families, lowering barriers to participation, increasing access points – Rabbi Kramer indeed "gets it." This is important because as a conservative rabbi, he is part of a movement that has struggled in the last few years to attract and retain members. But his philosophy is designed around the fact that the Jewish community is evolving, and he knows it will take an innovative and progressive approach to reach all those on the periphery.

Why does everyone in a family have to share the same faith? WHY is in-marriage an "ideal"?
Comment by Sara — May 5, 2009 @ 12:50 pm
I checked the website of this congregation and they have 3 levels of membership:
What can 'associate' mean? Does it mean non-Jewish membership? Doesn't seem like they are treating the Gentile spouses the same as the other members.
Comment by Dave — May 10, 2009 @ 10:46 am
It usually means that the member is a full-time member elsewhere or is a snowbird and lives in another community part-time.
Comment by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky — May 10, 2009 @ 6:04 pm
And to get more commentary, make sure you visit "The War on Guns: Notes from your Resistance. The Power Hour is in fact on for three hours; from 7-10 AM Central time weekdays, 8-11 Eastern, 1300-1600 UTC. But its catchy and fun, and compared to the "Jump Up" album being a whole, its one of the better tracks. Rense left a successful tv news career and created their own talk radio program in 1996.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.

Western Belt Buckle Buying Guide
Belt buckles are widely used among a lot of people, particularly cowboys and cowgirls. They are both decorative and practical accessories that can be made from a wide range of metals. Moreover, there are various styles of belt buckles, and a popular one is the western belt buckle style. When purchasing a Western belt buckle, what things should you consider?
First, you need to consider what kind of metal you wish your belt buckle to be made from. Western belt buckles are often made from various metals including brass, bronze, chrome, copper, gold, nickel, pewter, silver, and steel. Metal-made Western belt buckles are advisable because they can have beautiful etchings and engravings of different patterns, designs, pictures, and text. Metals are also more advisable because they are quite sturdy. Picking one is usually a matter of taste, though. However, you should also consider the overall outfit you'll be matching the Western belt buckle with. For example, if you'll be wearing sterling silver jewelry, then a silver Western belt buckle is recommended.
Second, if metal isn't your thing, other materials can be used for Western belt buckles. They can also be created from leather or faux leather. Or if you have a colourful personality, you can opt for ornate Western belt buckles that can be covered with crystals or be painted with enamel. There are also combination Western belt buckles that feature at least two different materials like a mix of two metals, a metal-leather combination, or a metal mixed with shells or mother-of-pearls.
Third, study the terminology used when it comes to the parts of Western belt buckles. This will be helpful in selecting the right buckle that meets your specifications. Some common Western belt buckle words include the following:
- Bar – This is the vertical strip located at the back of the buckle and goes behind the strap.
- Blank – This term is used for a plain piece of metal that has yet to be engraved with any design.
- Chape – This is the piece that allows the bar to connect with one end of the belt's strap.
- Frame – This is usually a square, oval, or rectangular-shaped hollow metal piece that is most prominent on the buckle and is located in front of the strap.
- Prong – This is what secures the belt in place as it is put through a hole on the opposite end of the belt strap.
Fourth, you also need to learn how to attach a Western belt buckle before purchasing one. Not all belts have interchangeable buckles and it is sometimes necessary to buy a different belt to match a Western belt buckle. To check if a belt is compatible with a Western belt buckle, turn the belt over to its wrong side. Check if the strap in the buckle area attaches to its metal snaps by pulling them gently. If the snaps loosen, then the buckle can be removed.
Finally, it's time to find a place where you can purchase Western belt buckles. You won't be having difficulty in doing sobecause there are many: gift shops, souvenir stores, mainstream retailers, Western wear catalogs, department stores, flea markets, yard sales, online shops, leather goods craftsmen, classified ads, and a lot more.

Workforce Diversity- Explaining Perceived risk of work-related injury in the Australian Health & Community Services and Construction Industries 2010
Client: Curtin University
This paper analyses the perceived risk of workplace injury and illnesses in two Australian industries: Health & Community Services and Construction. The analysis provides a multifaceted picture of the safety environment using a combination of safety perception data and workers compensation data. The research tests for factors that explain perceived risk in these industries and the overall workforce, and explores the implications for developing safety cultures. It addresses the contribution of worker characteristics, job design and social relations of work in explaining perceived risk of workplace injury or illness.

Currently, Xorg consists of multiple pieces, xserver being just one of them, using the X11 protocol. X RandR is another component.
Let's just take x.org 7.6 for example, which has in it xserver 1.9, xrandr (it was version 1.2 IIRC), and other pieces - piece3, piece4, piece5, etc.
A new X12 would consist of wayland, xrandr, and other pieces. piece3, piece4, piece5, etc.
Now, I realize that all of these said pieces would most likely be re-written from scratch, with whole new parts. But all I'm asking is why could not Wayland sit at the heart of the new X12 considering how far along it already is? Especially considering that Xwayland (should) come along nicely as a good X11 compatibility layer.
It doesn't have to be called x-anything..... ever. But with continued advancements, as the X.org crew creates what it sees as its new vision for a new X12 protocol, they could bolt on/bolt in the new pieces onto the already completed Wayland.
I think the right question to ask is who will work on it, in case it exists. I mean, the experienced X guys are mostly centered on working on Wayland, and that's their bet for the future. X12 would probably require a development time similar (greater, actually, because even when they have most of the infrastructure done and most of the work is shrinking the protocol, it still requires some protocol design, and THEN actual coding) to the one Wayland still needs to be mainstream.
On the Wayland as heart of X12, I think if it would exist (is there any need for it?) it would make sense to reuse the Wayland protocol (and library) as the buffer manager of the X12 protocol. Of course, an X12 would require more than just Wayland, as it's proposer said.
Why? Who cares? Who needs? What developer talked about it in this week?We Have Mir & Wayland, But There Still Could Be X12
