MY first car was a brand new Buick Skyhawk, it was a POS. We replaced with a Nissan van, had no problems with it. Our husbannd's ford mustang didn't last that long, replaced with a camry. When we replaced the van, we got a Ford, it lasted 8 years with about 140,000 miles (we had to be towed in to Vegas) while the Camry was still going strong and it was older.
We now have 3 Toyotas.
Well, I had a 1990 Chevy S10 Pickup. It ran like a champ. The 4.3 Liter engine was a rocket and the price was decent. I had it for 14 years, and finally had to get rid of it after it started shedding body parts and the radio conked out.
My buddy has aToyota Tundra. It is a good truck, but not as well build as Chevy,s trucks. It has a bunch of noises and for some reason eats brakes.
I Love Chevy trucks.
The only American-made car I've ever owned was a 1990 Ford Mustang convertible with the great, big V-8 engine. I loved that car and put 150,000 miles on it with no problems, then gave it to my brother-in-law who put another 50,000 on it. My first car was a 1964 MG-B (high school graduation), which was possibly the most unreliable car in the world, but I was a kid, so what did I know? Since then I've owned Volvos - each one had nearly 200,000 miles on it when I traded it in on the next.
My uncle, a 40 year union man, bought a used Toyota pickup truck after a string of GM lemons. He's now a Toyota convert and just bought a new Camry.
Polygamy???
What were the reasons of the Mustang not lasting long?
An angry wife? Or 2? Or 3?
