It was your ex-wife....She planted a sofa-bomb in the truck while you weren't looking.

That is unfortunate, now you are positive that you need a Ford, there is no question now

What a way to get a flame job on your ride. It's my belief that every G.M. (general mistake) should have a built in sprinkler system for this very reason.......they ALL need it.

Although the mustang II was poorly made...I still like them...I wish I still had my 74 coupe....It had a 351c, c4 and a 9" with 4.56 gears...total blast to drive!

depends on what era you're talking about. Pre-Iaccoca, Iaccoca, or post -Iaccoca?
oh and there's pre-Nader (65-73)
the pre-nader ones are built pretty well

The Chrysler line built before 1975 were good cars, maybe since Fiat owns them now they will be better cause I thought Mercedes would have made Chrysler products better but who knows they just might stay shitty!

I test drove a new Challenger SRT8 the other day and I gotta say it was the tightest feeling Mopar I've ridden in in a long time. Well except for my Cordoba, it should have been solid considering it wieghed 4200 lbs.

I started thinking back to the various cars that I owned, and I was surprised that I only owned two GMs, one a GMC van, that I liked, and one a real POS 1982 Buick Century, it was only three years old, and at 16,000 miles had the transmission rebuilt, and at 26,000 miles the engine rebuilt.
My daughter, had a Chevy Cavalier with I think a 2.6 in it, and it was a little pocket rocket, a fun car to drive. My brother had a 70's era chevy pick up, and it held up well to a lot of abuse.
I'd buy a chevy, I might check to see if there are any pennies stuck in the fuse box chuckle. I might check with an experienced mechanic about any particular model that I am looking at for his opinion on reliability and ease of repair, because that can vary greatly from one model to another.

No, but when you throw 500 HP into the mix, it sure feels like it! LOL

Any car would feel that way with a 500HP boost.
