NAC: worst engine in the world award

[David Ullrich]

Bah, I wonder if y'all might be too young to remember the really BAD engines
of the past. The engines mentioned so far are all perfectly fine engines
when comapred to thigns like the Caddilac V4-6-8 (GMs first and most
terrible attempt at fuel savings by cylinder deactivation) or the Olds small
block 350 Diesel (which ruined the image of Diesels in the USA forever,
still hurting the image of Diesel eve today). THOSE were truely terrible
engines.
