I’m not a car guy by any stretch of the imagination but growing up in the family business the fleet of trucks (vans, pick ups and oil delivery trucks were almost completely Ford products. Every time my dad and uncle strayed and bought a Chevy or Dodge (usually because the price was right) the POSs never held up anywhere near like the Fords did. True story. So while I will no longer buy an American made car, if forced I would buy a Ford every time. Just my own personal experience......

old ford trucks held up great both body and machine. i remember making it home one night in highschool with a folded up miller cap keeping the fried points operating in the distributor cap. simple machines for a simple mind like mine,LOL
edit 1954 f-100 223ci could sit on the fender well under the hood to work on it.

Sounds like something I had to resort to when thee breaker plate in my distributor had a problem. Just to get my car home on a lonely night out in the country I had to employ the use of several gum stimulators in a pack of toothbrushes I had just purchased earlier that night. I won't go into details but my car would hobble along for 10 or 20 miles at 30 mph and then quit because the stimulator popped out somewhere on the road. Fortunately I had a bag of toothbrushes and made it home after 70 miles late at night. I bought a used distributor at a wrecking yard the next working day and never had that problem again. Been there, done that.

I think the young folk of today really missed out on the golden age of teenage motoring, when it wasn't unheard of to have to fix your car more than once before you got home.

Troublesome South African baboon evicted for raiding homes

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Kataza already had a lengthy rap sheet with Cape Town authorities, so when he organized a band of others to raid a series of suburban homes, he was captured. Now he sleeps at a local prison, although there is a social media campaign for him to be returned to his old stomping grounds.
Kataza operated in the seaside village of Kommetjie, on Cape Town’s southern peninsula. After he was captured, rangers relocated him to the nearby area of Tokai, hoping that he would integrate with another, better-behaved troop and stop his mischief.

Activists, however, want him to be taken home and reunited with his own troop. “#BringBackKataza” reads a sign posted by a road in Kommetjie. There’s a Facebook page calling for his safe return.

Kataza was unfairly singled out, said Jenni Trethowan. She runs Baboon Matters, a conservation organization in Cape Town that seeks ways for humans and baboons to peacefully co-exist. She wants him back in Kommetji
