I am mainly a ford guy but i had a 93 geo tracker for my first car and i miss that d*** thing. over 200,000 miles, rusted to *, no muffler, cracked windshield, but the engine started up first try every time.
If it don't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway.

At what point did I, or anyone, b**** about the economy? I wouldn't put my hard earned money into a piece of crap vehicle, no matter who makes it nor the fiscal situation of the country.

If they make it better, so be it. This whole board is full of people buying italian/taiwanese parts for their japanese mopeds anyway. It must be fun up on that high horse of yours. :eyeroll:

I've only owned a few imports, '65 Datsun Fairlady, '76 Fiat X19, '65 and '68 Beetles, '71 VW Single Cab, '81 VW Vanagon, '89 Suzuki Sidekick, '08 Scion xB, '89 Mazda 323, '88 Mazda 323. But for American, triple that number. Lots of '50's and '60's AMCs, Dodge and a few Chevys and a Ford thrown in there.

As for American made, 51% American content makes it American built.

Let's see, I bought the '68 in 1982 and finally sold it in 2005. Rebuilt the lower end in '82, new jugs and heads in '84. Oil changes and valve adjustments every 2000 miles from then on. I think I put over 150K miles on it, I think it had 300K when I sold it. I'd say reliability is well above the bar.

If I had my druthers, I'd put a 1776 in the bug with a single Dellorto and headers, not too fast, but a more inexpensive way to give the old 1500/1600 more umph!
