I remember FORD as For Ordinary Repairs Daily.

[The Antiyuppie]

Both Ford and Chevy have some unbelievable engineering issues these days; I swear that they are actually trying to sabotage the internal combustion engine. Of course, with the government pushing mileage/emissions more and more, they are taking bigger and bigger chances with durability all the time (belt-driven oil pumps, oil that would be better off in a mechanical watch, “tension-free” piston rings, cylinder-on-demand systems that fail at 80K).

I wouldn’t trust either maker to produce an engine that can go 100K miles without a major, expensive teardown, even if properly maintained. And don’t get me started on the other “US” manufacturer.
