GM's junk heap

Over its history General Motors has made its share of bad products. Some were poorly built, some were badly executed, others suffered from lousy timing.

I remember my dad owned a few GM junk heaps, heck my first car was the Vega hand me down. Throw 2 bucks worth of gas and a quart of oil in her and you could cruse all weekend. (the quart of oil was a must)

Dad ended up with a fleet of corvairs being the tinker type of person he was. I still remember pulling the tranny once a month on his 65 to fix it. He uses the other 2 he owned for spare parts.
