I started boycotting GM after owning a Vega. Have never looked at a GM product since. I'm sure they're much improved from the '70's or they would not be in business, even if barely, 35 yrs. later.

A valid reason, the Vega was putrid. But all the car makers make clunkers. I had a Datsun 310GX that made a Vega look like a high end vehicle.
GM got better, then, when sales went up, the slipped back to their old ways. I had a Bonneville that was terrible, given what it was supposed to be. I traded the Bonneville off for a Camry. I’ll never buy another Pontiac, and most likely will avoid GM altogether.
oops, now I am embarrassed. I wrote before my first cup of coffee. It is GE that I am boycotting.
IIRC, if you owned a V-8 Monza in the 70s, you had to unbolt the engine and use a hoist to lift it high enough to get to the rear sparkplugs.
