If it wasn't for the Japanese kicling Detroit's *** in the 70s and 80s
what well built and engineered American cars we have had would never
have been made. I am old enough to remember such piece of ---- cars
Chevy, Ford, Mopar and AMC were turning out in the seventies and early
eighties. There was the Vega, which was a four wheeled female sanitary
pad as far as resale value and longevity went. The Pinto, it actually
had good German Ford-derived OHC fours and a good third member...only
it blew up when rear-ended. The early FWD Mopars. The last RWD Mopars.
As ugly as they were the AMC Gremlin and Pacer were among the BETTER
cars. Remember the Chevy Citation and the other GM X-cars? The
Shove-It? F-bodies with four cylinder engines?
Where do I stop?
The Toyota, the Subaru, the Nissan, the Mitsubishi (which were sold as
Dodges mostly), they ran and ran and ran. When my sister went to
college in the early nineties my parents bought her a new Toyota. They
weren't taking a chance after the American shitboxes I brought home.
Can you blame them?

I remember we could buy any car we wanted for less that five grand,
or '66 Goat for three:
http://www.----------.com/temp/66PontiacGTOsticker.jpg was guaranteed to
get you laid. The Vega's aluminum engine and Corvair were german
technology. Now the only cars I see stalled on the side of the road are
rice burns. My Brother's Bimmer costs a thousand a month to maintain:

The Vega's aluminum engine was GM technology. It used iron plated
pistons on a silicon-bearing aluminum bore, pioneered on Mark IV big
block Chevies and the opposed air cooled APU for the Firebird III or IV
turbine showcar.
The Corvair's engine was American technology. Ever hear of Lycoming?
The Pontiac GTO was a laughingstock when GI's took them to the
Autobahn. The properly prepared Corvair (a/k/a Yenko Stinger) gave the
911s fits though.
And five grand in 1966 was like forty or fifty today.
