Those VW Bus engines were not unfamiliar with blowing up. I drove a 1969 bus throughout High School. That was a great car, especially when we loaded 12 people inside and out.

Ticia, if you were in California, your Ford might be recalled.

I don't buy those anymore either. For me, it's nothing but Toyotas with an outside chance of another Subaru someday. I like cars that don't leave me parked beside the road. It's a bonus if they run great for 200,000 miles, drive great, and get good gas mileage. They don't have to be fast.
