1982 Chev Pick up, I got it new in 82, it sucked a valve at 1200 miles. After 3 warranty repair returns, they got it right. At 2000 miles I was in the back roads of NC, the fuel was running out in the left tank, so I hit the switch to change over to the right tank that was full. The transfer solenoid broke and I ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, with a full tank of gas! It was doing OK until I sold it to a family member in 1984.
It stayed in the family for a few years (1 transmission) and then was lent to my Aunt, who lent it to my cousin who promptly went off a snow covered highway in the Adirondaks and half way down the mountain. Beat to death on the drivers side.
Making it's way back to TN, it was put in to use in the family business as a landscape vehicle, hauling mulch, pulling trailers etc. Looks like hell and is ready to receive it's 3rd engine next month.
I can call it a POS here because it can't hear me, but I'll be darned if I am going to say it within earshot.
