Nice article. I would like to have seen or in the future would love to see a more in-depth article on what the state of the art rustproofing options manufacturers are using OR could be using. I enjoy buying a vehicle and driving it until it’s slap dab worn out (have no idea where that term came from but it’s been used all my life as “pushed to the furthest extent”. Anyway it was never a problem in NM as a young adult and teen. NM didn’t salt roads in the 60’s and 70’s. But I’ve spent most of my adult life in Ohio and Kentucky. Sadly these states are addicted to salt. Bridges, roads, signs, concrete and even the thresholds to our homes and garages rust and corrode rapidly. I’ve pretty much decided the manufactures don’t do all that much to stop corrosion. I just sold a 2014 F-150 that in spite of me using Ziebart every year of its life, had rust under the bed rail caps. The worse part about undercoatings is the yearly build up that just keeps getting thicker and thicker with each application. I’d pay Ford $2500 -$3500 more if they would offer a rustproofing applied during manufacturing that would guarantee -0- ten years of rust free driving. The best option is finding a shop or friend who has a lift and spraying the vehicle with something like wool wax, fluid film or comparable coatings. I’ve seen it work but it doesn’t look real nice but, neither does rust. ... View more

My black with grey bucket seat/console  1990 Dakota Sport 4x4 Convertible has been a great truck, and is all original, except for routine parts changing, and all new brake lines. It has 3.91 gears and pulls strong; with the 4 speed automatic overdrive, and lock up torque converter it averages 17 m.p.g.  It is an amazing truck to drive, and I've had it for 14 years, and also bought a new 1994 Dakota 5.2 litre 5 speed, and two Dodge Rams, a 1996, and 1997.   All of them have been good trucks, but the Dakota convertible remains as my favourite.    ...

Dumpy little cars, but no doubt fuel efficient.  I never really thought of the convertible version as ugly, though; rather, it was perhaps a bit less dumpy than the coupe, and thus more attractive. ... View more

My neighbor had one of these growing up, he was about 16 when he got it used and he never quite got it working right. I think it had some issues from the get-go when he picked it up, and I always wished he managed to nurse it back to health because it hurt to see such a cool car always parked in the same spot! ...
