Mom's caddy...150,000, valve covers never been off, still going strong. Bro's Chev pickup, 250,000 same. cutlass wagon popped a head gasket...but at 280,000 miles! And these are all 90's models. Ricers are brainwashed. BTW the fit-finish was about body panels, you want to talk quality, let's talk. Remember, the above cars are all family cars, not "My friends moms boyfriends Japassissi went 5 jillion miles without an oil change.

My '88 S-10 Blazer has 331,000 on the 2.8 V-6 original engine 4wd, that engine has never been "opened up", no blue smoke when you start/run it, nothing other than routine maintainence, a couple of water pumps and a rebuilt TBI injector. My '94 Jimmy had 227,000 on it and was in perfect shape (original 4.3 V-6 4 wd never opened up) when some fool ran a stop sign and t-boned it, totaled it. My '95 Chevy 20 Series van is doing just fine with 137,000 or so miles on it, my '99 Blazer 4.3 4 wd with around 104,000 miles had it's first tuneup not too long ago. I have gotten excellent durability with many GM vehicles, fit and finish has been good to excellent in all of my trucks, nobody can tell me that GM does not have good build quality.
