    My father would not only disagree with that statement but would probably punch you in the nose for saying it!

    After his Karmen Ghia rusted out, he bought an Opel GT (poor choice there, huh?!). He was under that car every weekend just to keep it running, and I was right there handing him the tools. It was cool as anything when it was running well, but man - his was mostly a POS. Totally rusted out within 5 years, maybe 4.
