Right chere, heh, heh.

I guess my '97 F250 Superduty was a POS after all. 277k and never had a problem, other than the occasional numbnutz who pulled out in front of me.

74 Ford Maverick about 135,000 when I drove her to the junkyard in 1985
93 Ford Ranger with about 155,000 miles on it when I sold it (gave it away) in 2004

135,000 is a ton of miles back in Ohio.

I had a '66 Mustang GT that I sold with 135,000 miles on it that would still chirp the tires going into 4th. The valve covers had never been off, but I did have to put a clutch in it.

Are you quoting Fox News?

Interesting in that all but one model was made when GB was president and no wonder Obama had to bail out the auto industry. Now I am all for the bail out.

I gave the Ford to the Sally Ann with 135,000 on it. Our garage has his and hers Chevy Impala LSs in it. Blue for me burgundy for her. Bring any of those riceburners around and she will be happy to give you driving lessons.

Ok you have to drive a 10 year old car through a stretch of desert in a post-apocalyptic nuclear landscape....and if you get stranded the mutants eat you alive. I am taking the Honda or Toyota....

I'd take an old F150 with the mighty 300, stick.

It might be a rebuild Dodge but it's pretty reliable

No problemo in my old F250. It had dual tanks for that 5.8L V8 and those mutant zombies squish real nice under 16" wheels.

Sure that list isn't biased, there is not one German car on there. I've seen how reliable those strudel wagons are and think they should be toward the top of the dump pile. You want real life reviews goto edmunds and read the owner reviews.
