Which led to the OPEC oil embargo.

Which caused crude oil prices to almost triple.

Which led to the “Energy Crisis” (and the 55 mph national speed limit, among other horse puckey).

Which led to America ‘discovering’ Japanese cars. Before that, it was un-patriotic to not buy American.

Which led to a crisis in Detroit that forced them to “raise their game” and build cars that got better gas mileage and lasted longer.

In 1972, a car was decent if it lasted 100,000 miles.
IN 1978, a car was crap if it didn’t last 200,000.
