  4. Clear plastic seat covers on my early 80’s Oldsmobile station wagon in the back seat. My kids hated those seat covers when it was hot because they felt like they were on fire in the back seat. I think that was one of the worst cars that I ever owned next to a crummy early 90’s Chevy Corsica whose paint came pre peeling off straight from the factory. What a POS.
