wow, 11 cars in how many years? sounds like you are ruff on all of them.
And you can't say Fords last longer if you are going to use that argument, all i can go on is MY personaly experiences and that is 5 Fords and 6 GMs, including 2 panthers, 2 b-bodies, and a d-body and the origional debate was actually the reliability between B/D-bodies and Panthers was it not? They are about the same, neither are perfect, but are a bit above the curve for their respective manufacturers. When putting "my" experiences together, they are spot on.
