yeah becasue the sheep believe it… thats what keeps the value up. reliability? all my 80’s cars start up and go everyday and are cheap n easy to fix. but for real durability…theres a reason NY taxis are Crown vics and not toyotas. the panther platform has been running strong since 1979… thats older than probably 70% of this board!
