Every manufacturer has issues and it's all about which way u lean that determines what your willing to accept or not. Just like politics Democrats and Republicans all have skeletons in there closet yet pretend the other is the devil.
My Ford ranger 300k miles stock spark plugs starter motor and trans. Problem free for life still have it and only changed the plugs nothing else. Both Mustangs huge piece of **** one cobra one 2007 model. My tundra best running and towing truck ever in a half ton no problems. Both 2001 and 2005 celica gt and gts giant turds. My 2005 Silverado has been great but my 2007 Silverado had electrical issues from the factory never did run right. My 2010 Camaro 2012 Camaro and 69 Camaro all great but the 1998 Camaro giant piece of ****. See it's all in what u want to claim is a shitty company but they all have great and terrible cars.

78 5.0 monza- cool car with a few issues. Heater core big pita and chassis was poop for anything other than driving straight.
80 v6 monza- fine all round car. The lesser weight of the v6 improved everything except straight line acceleration
78 chevy stepside- a full time 4x4 and very robust truck with a 350 2bbrl. Drank enough fuel that it probably contributed to global warming
80 mustang notch- base model 4cyl fun to drive car with over heating issues
86 s10 4x4 sport- a 2.8 5 speed auction truck that was a great buy for a 2yr old truck that was nice overall and handled great. Had no 5th gear when i got it and the intake gasket cracked. Got hot, made noise like it was gonna blow up but took 30k miles to blow up with me trying to kill it. I beat the tar out of that thing and only broke 1 cv joint with limiter launches in 4x4 low on asphalt
78 caprice- mom bought new and gave to me at some point . Was almost flawless in almost 20yrs. Needed 1 starter in that time.
86 blazer- 305 700r4 than ran great till i started effing it up. Got great mpg on the highway (18+mpg). Lift/wheels tires 4.10s and lockers fixed that mpg issue
. Swapping it in mud and water fixed the engine eventually. A mild built 400sbc fuxed the 700r4 and broke up all kinds of ****. Other than me tearing it up it was awesome.99 camaro ss- bought new and other than one window motor at about 15yrs old and the other at 19yrs old it's been flawless except what i have tore up. To give you a hint to the life this car has had i broke the shifter at 7xx miles, broke the first set of brake rotors at 13k...both warrantied. They didn't warranty the second set of rotors 6k miles later lol. Broke the clutch at 22k miles and the trans at 26k miles which they warrantied with mods done to the car. It's been beat on but well taken care of.
03 silverado 2500hd- bought new and by far the best trucks of that era. Tows great for a 6.0 gas, quiet and handles loads well. The bad.....eats clutch fans and will run warm when it's time for another, brakes while powerful enough the oe rotors rust to **** bad but pretty much all the trucks of that era did that. Brakes lines went to poop and had to replace after 15 yrs but the whole stainless kit was only $66. Gauge cluster warrantied/recalled, had a hvac control motor go bad, had to fix the ebrakes too. Front end rebuilt. Now i do load it heavy but that stuff goin bad just shouldn't happen imo but it is a 16 yr old truck now. Mpg's could be better.
87 tpi vette- runs great for almost 230k but a pos
04 2500hd dmax- bought at 227k knowing it needs a headgasket but other wise is pretty good.
92 notch- termi swapped and pretty good overall. Intercooler pump can fool you into thinking it's working 100% and poly bushings suck *** and typical fox driving position sucks.
05 e320 cdi Mercedes- fine allround car with impressive mpg's. Fun to holeshot people wif a diesel
86 grand am- needed a headgasket at like 150k because a head bolt broke at the threads. Ran fine but would leak water. Running with the coolant cap loose fixed it for a while. Iron dukes were tough as nails and got good mpg's, up to 38 on the highway. Ran it to 186k before i got rid of it. Put a alternator and a starter on it.
Beretta- 3.1 v6 car with a rebuilt title ran great other than a broke injector wire likely due to the accident. New shocks and struts and it handled really really good for what it was. Decent mpg's for a v6 @ 33mpg highway
Ding ding ding. This is what I do in my raving reviewer series that Hio loves so much. I point out the common flaws and problems with the mountain of cars that I've owned over the years. C4, C5, 3rd gen, 4th gen, 6th gen, fox body, SN95/New edge, 3V, Impala SS, GTO, 2nd gen ram, 3rd gen ram, 4th gen ram, 5th gen ram, OBS chevy, F150, Kia, panther platform, etc. I've yet to find a perfect car, every single one of them has something to talk about.

Because your review is bs. You're not old enough nor owned them long enough to know wtf you're talking about. Your review is based off rumors with no practical way to solve any issues.

What it all comes down to in the end for is simple. No manufacturer makes a car so well that the customers feel no need to change customize and tweak to fit there exact wants and needs. I love that part because that's how I make a living now. Any vehicle with a no budget build can be made into a Cadillac riding BMW handling Corvette accelerating duramax towing vehicle all in one but none do it because it's not practical therefore people.buy what they can afford that gives them the luxuries they feel are important. My 2005 Silverado rides like dog **** but it's got clean *** 24s on it lowered stance and a 600hp motor under the hood. To some that's terrible but for me it's better than a happy ending massage. When I made 10$ an hour the chance of having a fast car didnt exist so I had a 2001 mustang i felt like was fast and I could afford it. Most ppl will defend what they buy and take offense to people making fun of the car for being slow or shittty almost like u raped there grandma it's just what car guys do but the personal attacks on family etc that aren't even apart of this forum takes a level of insecureness I've never seen before.

Lol, the guy that has owned four performance cars, two fords, one import, and the rest GM is trying to give me crap, saying I'm not old enough, or owned them long enough to make reviews about them. First off, you don't know how old I am. Second off, just my personal list of cars dwarfs yours, not including the ones that I bought, fixed, and sold on a regular basis for over a decade, and not including the ones my family has owned that I fix and maintain. So my list looks like....

. I’m fairly certain I can beat him convincingly as is him on 93 at 620. My 26 inch billet drag pack and further WR adds quite a bit. But I won’t bench race too much. I’ll let the vid speak for itself. I think I’ll walk him especially from a low roll

How exactly would you know if I'm right or wrong? You have zero experience outside of a few of the worst cars GM ever made. Since you love to pull the experience card, I will do the same. Until you own and work on as many different cars as I have, be quiet.

I only listed what i have owned. There are several cars that i owned that i didn't list because i bought them to flip. Who knows how many cars i have worked on, far more than your list. I work on cars for a living.....mostly. Some family cars i have been involved with has covered several of yours that you posted. So yea....buying a car owning it for 6 months and just driving it doesn't mean you know **** about it.
Your results have shown you don't know much also. You're just a butt hurt snowflake.

A guy that's never owned anything beyond GM is trying to claim that a guy that's owned basically every brand knows nothing about the cars that were his literal business for years. Not to mention, runs a youtube channel that has hundreds of owners agreeing with him. What it comes down to is that Doug feels that I'm inferior to him, and it drives him up that wall that I have more success than him in something. Thus he uses the only thing that he has a greater success at then me, which is racing, to attempt to belittle, even though racing success has absolutely nothing to do with general knowledge. I find it amusing to watch him rage.
As for the mods "ruining" SRK. Every one of these threads devolves into an insult slinging **** show. There's probably not a single thread in the last 6 months that doesn't have at least one of these mentioned...1.26 60 foot, 2v kills a 9 second beast, Ford sucks, GM is better, as expected, that GM was improper, you're narcissistic, NO YOU ARE!!!.

I also only listed the cars that I have owned, not the ones for resale. It would be impossible for me to make a list of all the cars that I've owned, worked on, and researched. In an auction setting, you have basically 5 minutes to check a car over without driving it, so you better damned well know what the common problems are, otherwise you're stuck with a POS that needs more work than you can get out of it. What results are you talking about? Over a decade of a successful business? A successful youtube channel? No, you think that racing is everything, and that making a single platform go 10's somehow gives you knowledge of brands and types of cars that you're never exposed to.

Yup
Hell 1/2 are even boosted.
If you noticed most threads i just say "good run" or if i don't like the person i don't even go in them. So thank you featherduster side for the **** show along with yourself thinking you know all cars with a 5min check before a auction.
