Ford is the only way to go anyway. My '94 4.6L T-Bird has 300k+ and the only thing I had to replace was the trans valve body. It gets 30mpg with the summer tires too! (with a V-8, mind you... and I wouldn't call her slow.) Hell, our '86 Crown Vick had almost 400k on it. It is a shame about Chevy though... my first street legal set of wheels was a '91 2500 short bed. Really good truck.
Rides I own:
'85 200X(old smokey)
'81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
'84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
'96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
'85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
'78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

I wouldn't own a gm vehicle newer than 1980 anyways.... sorry this doesn't change a whole lot.
the problem is and always been providing a product that consumers actually want while making a profit on it. sorry...but a lot of companies seem to have forgotten that.

I have been a GM guy since 1985!
And I tell it like it is.......................
THEY ran their own asses into the frigging ground! I wont get into why, but the other big "2" will be next.....Of course I am just a dum sonabitch that has worked in the field for 20 years and dont know what the hell he is talkin about.
Fiat Bought Chrysler.......LOL That is as bad as GM going under.
What is next? Martha Stewart ,and Ophra Jointly buying Ford?
Probably!
Tis a sad day!
EDIT!!!!!!
The other day I saw a sticker on a Ford....
"Dont put MY American Flag sticker, on your foreign car!"
Classic!
Hey! On a lighter note....................
Anybody See North Korea Testing long range missles that can reach the west coast, and doing underground Nuke testing this week?
How about the army marching in the streets, just like the old days....

the problem is these dumb ass gooks dont get it. they launch a nuke at ANY country, and the rest of the world is going to transform them from a IS to a WAS before they have their victory march.....
and what does an underground nuke test consist of? i would think it would leave such a nasty crater in the ground it would make more sense to blow it above ground.

and you'd be right. Compressed matter will only amplify the explosion's initial boom. Same principle as a firecracker in an anthill vs on the surface.
The diffrencis that nukes have energy to spare... Hence the reason eye witness accounts say fat man and little boy were detonated in the air. Spreads the impact over a larger area... And the damage is so bad it doesn't matter the energy that could have beengained by it being under ground doesn't matter.

Back on the cars...
Perfect example.....
In 1995 I went to the S.A.E. Convention in Detroit.(Society of Automotive Engineers)These are the "Be all end all" of car genious's mind you. Heavily, overpaid for thier rediculous ideas..............
I saw 6-8 "engineers", Gathered around a newly introduced 1996 Olds Aurora, with that 4.6 Northstar engine.They had those White Lab coats on, pocket protectors........
They were Bragging........
"This is the car of the future! It will need no work for over 150k miles"
They were really proud of this.
I looked in the engine compartment and said....................WTF?
"How the Eff we supposed to work on this thing?"
They all looked at me like the 18 year old I was, and replied....
"This car wont need work"
LMFAO
3 years later in the GM dealers (Out of warranty no less)
We were giving customers $2800 estimates to fix a gushing oil leak that required pulling the engine, usually resulting in broken crank carrier bolts that made the job more pricey......
I told them in 1995 they were foolish IDIOTS.
But I guess that didnt sink into them.
So a customer who spent 30k on a new car, has a $3000 oil leak just after the warranty expires.
Talk about consumer confidence...................!
Way to go GM!
And that is just one instance.....
I gots a lots more...............
All them effr's suffer from ..............
