After reading about the big rig, I got to thinking, what would be the worst vehicle to perform the bullrun reality series in? Now before you start baggin' each others rides, I thought we could find out some serious bad choices.
The car must be street legal as it does for the show.
Here is my submission.
I thought what would be the biggest drawback? Mileage? power? realiablility? Handling?
I came to the conclusion, manuverability. Most of the other aspects can be overcome in a challenge if you rock it out. But if you drive something that flat out couldn't 'handle' a challenge, well, you are S.O.L.
So how about a FWD Car that weights a ton and is 11+ feet long?
Other limos like the Hummer limo or Expedition limo may be much heavier and truck based, but at least there is the possibility of rotaing the vehicle with the gas pedal.
Hustle the DTS Limo into a corner and you can do nothing but increase the understeer.

LOL - and my fav movie car makes another appearance!
Apparently, the Titanic had a better turning radius than this did, and if I remeber correctly, I believe its' top speed was around 25 miles an hour or so - been a while since I seen the documentary...

I think the worst car would be an old Fiat, or MG imagine the bone jarring ride that would give you.. Not to mention having to fix it every leg.. They are cool cars for around town but for a long drive I think I would rather ride a scooter

Well, a semi wouldn't have to refuel very much at all -- can't they go about a thousand miles without stopping? They'd probably have a lot of trouble in a challenge where they had to be nimble, but for the long road legs I bet they'd have an advantage.
The limo, on the other hand, seems like shooting yourself in the foot...unless you could talk Goldberg and the flag girls into riding in the back with you...
A tiny fiat or mg does sound like a terrible time too...I used to drive a little dodge pickup (D50) that rode like a log wagon and had no power (and no ac or heat) -- that too would be a horrible choice...

A limo ran in one of the original Cannonballs.... as did a Motor home.
And the car picked in the last thread we had about this was I think a Yugo... or something like that.
It's groundhog day!

An RX8.
No torque, horribly mileage for a 1.3, infamous in their unreliability...
Just kidding.. :)
Anything that is old, hard to find parts for, gets horrible mileage, and can't handle worth beans.
I'm thinking any of the big 3 station wagons from the LATE 70s.. Just about the time they all where trying to figure out the new emissions BS. You know, those 400+ cubic inch big blocks that couldn't squeeze out 200hp? Those guys!
Top it off with horrible fuel mileage and parts that haven't been made in over 20 years. Yup. That is the ticket right there!

Hmmmm.... I'm thinking a prius. I'd feel more foolish after every mile. 4000 later and I'd probably have to kill myself. It's not lie I'd even be saving gas, my M3 gets better milage in the first place...... around a track (top gear tested).

Hmm worst car
427 would be absolutely horrible on gas.
Its a convertible! That you can't put up.
The side pipes are loud as can be and you wouldn't be able to handle 100 miles much less 4k.
Don't get me wrong, its a great car, but it would suck to drive on long distance plus I would not be able to hurt her in the challenges.
i dont think that there is an absoluety horrible car for bullrun. driving has to do a lot with it. who would have thought an avalanche would beat a shelby super snake or a lexus. you just need to be able to drive your car.. not saying spiro doesnt they just thought they missed a barrel besides they arent gonna pick a challenge a car cant do
Hmm I'd say even though I'd love to see one enter a front engine school bus(or any bus). It does have decent speed, and ground clearance. NExt I want to say a 26ft Uhaul but these things actually handle pretty good. The Top Kicks anyway. A mountainbike would pose a problem.
