Cleveland Ford’s “Lifetime Powertrain Warranty” is a scam.

Y'all know that 10 speed transmission was a joint development between Ford and GM

One of the best trucks I've ever owned was a 1990 F150 2dr shortbed Lariat w/the 300 in straight 6.
After almost 5 yrs, I sold it here on ODT to buy a BN 2021 F150 V6 non-turbo.
I miss that '90....

Yep, should've kept that ole truck. A good running old vehicle is gold when that new one breaks down

So as not to appear biased:
LINCOLN Lifters Inconveniently Noisy Creates Oil Leaks Now
CHEVROLET Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques
GMC Gotta Mechanic Coming
CADILLAC Company Always Denies Its Lawful Liability After Collisions
CHRYSLER Company Highly Recommends You Start Learning Engine Repair
DODGE Drips Oil, Drops Grease Everywhere
JEEP Just Empty Every Pocket
HONDA How Odd, No Damn Acceleration
MAZDA Made At Zoo by Demented Apes
TOYOTA The One You Ought To Abandon
HYUNDAI Hope You Understand No Dependable Autos Included
KIA Kills In Accidents
FIAT Failure In Automotive Technology
PORSCHE Proof Of Rich Spoiled Children Having Everything
BMW Break My Wallet
LOTUS Lots of Trouble Usually Serious

These are epic. Most I've never heard. And I've been around a long time. You must be a mechanic

CRAZY

I do prefer an auto. Sittin in traffic, towing and adverse conditions. But it's been a long time since built a decent auto

All good questions. I thought the housing market would've crashed a few years ago. I've seen it over and over a few times in my lifetime

And yet banks, builders, mortgage companies etc keep doing the same dumb **** over and over.

You can import if they're old.

It has to be 25 years old I THINK. Could be 20 but I think it's 25. When I worked at the port in Brunswick there was a small fenced off very secure lot that belong to the Customs Service. That's where all the privately imported stuff sat waiting to be cleared and released. And that's where you would see all the cool old stuff that you hardly ever see running the roads. I have no idea what the fees much less literal shipping costs are involved.
I've wanted one of the mini trucks from Subaru, Suzuki etc for years. I don't think they're subject to the same age range laws since they're not street legal anyway.

There's a 1500 short bed in the yard across the street from me that's maybe 8 to 10 years old. It ain't moved in about two years. Me and the guy who lives next to them were talking and he said "Yeah it's got that damn 10 speed transmission." WTF!?
Does nobody know how to build automatic transmissions anymore? Worse yet they don't even make manual transmissions anymore. At least when my wife processed new Subarus at the port they STILL offered every single model with a manual. Now you might have to order it and actually wait for it to come from Japan but they could still be had as late as 2019.

My first car was an Audi Fox so I've been weird ever since. I love Audi and older Volvo models. But I already know I couldn't afford to maintain and Audi if you gave it to me.
Right about now I want one of those badass Cadillac coupes like geezer drives.

Another money pit. Every Caddy I've seen in the last 40yrs has been a money pit. I was given the Mercedes. I still have $11-12k in it.......At least over the last 6yrs
