I got turned off by the U.S. Auto makers in the 1970's. My girlfriend had a Vega and it started throwing oil after 70k miles. As if they didn't know that aluminum block was going to do exactly that. I had a friend that had a 6 cylinder pinto that blew a head gasket after about 80k miles. A mechanic told us at the time that was pretty standard for that model. I still remember that mechanic telling us we might be better off scrapping the car because it'd probably explode on us if we ever got hit in the rear...LOL I also bought a beautiful used Camaro. At least it WAS beautiful until all the bondo started falling out of the wheel wells. They made a LOT of junk in the 1970's and people my age remember and aren't in ANY rush to give them our business anymore. Toyota got ahead by making "dependable" cars.
