Funfact:

There is a German saying: "Ford kaufen, Ford fahren, Ford schmeißen"

which translates to

"Buy a Ford, drive a Ford (or "drive away"), throw away [a Ford]."

As Ford sounds the same as "fort" and "fortfahren" -> "drive away", "fortschmeißen" -> "throw away"

The American version of this is “FORD - Fix or Repair Daily.”

I had an early '00s era Focus that refused to die. It just ran and ran and ran. Very basic car but very reliable. Finally scrapped it due to rust a few years ago. Engine still ran great.

(I actually like Ford. I have owned a few Mustangs and an F150 which have all been excellent vehicles. (Mechanically, reliability. )

Though I have bought only Infiniti's since 2015 ish.
