Ah the good ole days. I drove a 64.5 mustang in high school. It had a non-original 200 ci straight 6. It burned a quart of oil a week like clockwork. I knew if I killed the engine dad would let me drop a V8 in it. I couldn't kill that engine no matter what I did!! Well, I couldn't bring myself to not refill the oil, that would have been evil.

The reason I'm driving a Ford F250 now instead of the Dodge was back in 1999, the Dodges up in Northern Minnesota couldn't keep an auto transmission in them. They had a very nasty habit of exploding all over your garage floor. Dodge wasn't standing by them either. I think Dodge has fixed the issue, but I haven't had the need nor the permission to look at another vehicle since.

All manufacturers have turds out there. Look at all the recalls Toyota has had the last year. Not pretty. The Ford 6.0 L diesel was horrible and that's why Ford is killing that off. The new designed Buicks are pretty reliable cars. My complaint is in the past, GM always put the smallest freaking brakes on their vehicles so they wore out quick. I hated that. My family is mostly sticking to Fords now because historically, we've had fewer problems with them than the GM products. My dad had a cam lobe break off in one of his GMs. I've never heard of that before.

On the other hand, my brother had an early 90's Chevy Cavalier. A true POS. BUT, he did get run off the highway in it resulting in him water skipping it across a pond. It came out running on the other side...
