... GM made good products in '78?  1978 is the same year I went shopping for my first new car. 

I didn't care much for any of the US offerings, IIRC the GM offering has to have the engine pulled to change spark plugs!  

That was the fateful year my Audi madness started ... with a '78 Audi Fox GTI.  

Were I to shop for an old pick-em-up truck I think I'd be looking more like '68 ... but in fact I kinda like my '09 F150 ...

That's back from when Government Motors actually made decent products lol.
My 8 has firestone winterforce 225/55/16. Good tires for cheap!
