OP here. Gentlemen (& ladies), while I agree that GM and Ford are building better cars then they were 20 years ago, and while I also agree that the bailouts of the auto companies & their unions were a disaster and total waste of taxpayer $$$, this is not the thread for that.
This thread is discuss the ruining antique and vintage cars by street rodding and customizing. Early on we had a poster try to compare Jap rice-burner throw-away cars to classic American cars. While ridiculous on its face, it too was also inappropriate to this thread, and he was dealt with quickly buy a poster asking him to name one asian classic car. Obviously there was no answer, much less one that someone would be willing to pay $250,000 for as they would with a Cadillac, Packard, or European makes like Mercedes-Benz, or Bugatti, or Aston-Martin.
While debating the current status of GM, Ford or even Mopar and their value compared with European or even Asian brands is a worthy discussion, I would ask that you please start a new thread to carry on that conversation as it is not germaine to our purposes here. Thank you.
