It's dead, and this will get more attention here than the General Car Forum.

The topic speaks for itself...so discuss :)

2001 Mustang GT I guess. I can't speak for the Civic because it's only afew months old.

Problems with Mustang:
1. Leaky rear dif in 2002. Took me about 30 minutes to repair and cost less than 30 bucks.
2. ABS module gave out late 2005. Cost about $700.00 :(

That's it. Not bad for a Ford. All of my other cars were used and had their share of problems.

My current commuter, the 98 Chevy Cavalier (2.2L pushrod) refuses to die. I bought it at about 94k miles or so, and i've used and abused it. 10k miles between oil changes and all.

I can't say the same for any of my import cars i've owned :(

The 97 Taurus we have needs a f'n timing chain. I can feel it slipping every now and then. Other than that, it's done pretty good so far. I need to find out whether it's an interference engine or not. I'd hate for it to break and take the engine with it

My 83 RX-7 oddly enough.

Nothing could kill that thing. I drove it down the 210 freeway in LA, on a Friday at six o'clock, with half the fins on the radiator uncoiled, after driving it six hundred miles earlier in the day, and I made it from 5 to Ontario at an average speed of 3 miles an hour. It went on to last me two more years with no breakdowns or problems, logging 30K a year.

Solid as a fucking rock.

88 LXi turbo. No probs after the mods or before. Really want another if someone is selling. 93 corsica, had to replace the belt at 130k the other day, it was swapped and then swapped back so about 100k on the original motor. 86 Chevette, 20 years old and no problems.

Do avoid a 79 Ford f-150 Ranger(yes they did make those in full size) with a 460. youll drop a rod sooner or later. Only funny if you were on the chat a couple days ago.

I had a Prelude also. Mine wasn't ugly, it actually looked pretty good, but it gave me hell the entire time I owned it, so now it sits at my parents home and my dad drives it sometimes.

Oddly enough it would be my GXL. I always had some sort of weird electrical problem with it, but the car always got me from point A to point B for years. Well, until I blew the motor.

most reliable: 95 wrangler followed by the 89 blazer s10 because it ran on 5 cylinders for 20,000 miles with no parts replaced other than spark plugs for the dead cyl.
most unstoppable: 95 wrangler
fastest: 93 RX7
most unique: 89 rx7 with 2.2L turbo engine
most transmissions shattered: 88 MX6 GT

i bought my 93 F150 in 97 with 88k on the clock. i have since brought it to 182k. ive put a waterpump, trans(my abuse), and a starter. still going strong and will kill many things like stock 5.0s, lt1s, etc. the only thing tougher ive seen is my dads 79 ford 4x4. NOTHING, can destroy that thing!

You have some pretty slow 5.0s and lt1s in your area. Unless it's modified, your not going to beat them around here even if their 100% stock.
