I had Ford products thru 1977, an LTD. That was the final straw... everything that could go wrong on that car DID.
Since then I've only owned Nissan products, 280Z, 280ZX, several Sentra's, Maxima, Frontier PU, Q45.
The Q45 has 130,000 on it and just had its first cost-out-of-my-pocket repair... the air door controller died... plus I did the biennial replace-all-hoses-and-belts-before-they-die-in-the-heat routine... $1193 :-(
