1963 Rambler classic
1972 Vega GT
1954 Chevy station wagon
1972 Opel GT
1974 AMC Hornet
1977 Subaru DL (new)
1976 Saab 99
1980 Buick Skylark (new)
1954 Ford Pickup
1974 Chevy Pickup
1963 Rambler Station Wagon
1977 Dodge pickup
1984 Plymouth Reliant station wagon
1980 Dodge D50 pickup (turned it into a convertible)
1985 Plymouth full sized van
1966 Dodge Polaris station wagon
1994 Chevy Lumina
1980 Mitsubishi pickup (same as the dodge)
1983 Mazda GLC
1986 Mazda 323
1987 Plymouth Reliant
1988 Dodge Onmi
1992 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible
2001 Chrysler 300 (new)(142 mph governor, which kicked in on I-94 in eastern Montana)

And the cars I still own:
2006 Scion xB (new)
2004 Chevy Silverado Z71
2013 FR-S (new)
2016 Scion iA (new)

out of curiosity's sake, when these recalled engines fail, are the dealers installing used engines or brand new ones? assuming they fess up.

Yes I have. I had some good ones, too. The Scions are all great cars and the Chrysler 300M was a really great car. Same with the GLC, Subaru, Opel and 323. Frankly, I think most cars built before the 1990's were "crappy" cars.

BTW, the worst one, by far, was the 1980 Buick Skylark. I think GM used the owners as Beta testers.
