GM and Toyota engines fail all the time. Only when it happens you just
pull it over to the curb. the statement if reversed.

Maybe it is just luck, but in the last 28 years of driving, I have never had
one of my GM vehicles leave me on the side of the road with an engine
failure.

These are not new babied cars, either. I always drive them to well over 130
thousand.

A had a fuel pump go out and the engine quit dead. In an aircraft, there
would have been a backup pump.

I blew a head gasket one time, but I drove the remaining 10 miles home, no
problem. The same could have been done with an aircraft.

So although there are engine failures on any engine, good PM will go a long
way. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my GM vehicles. I would put
them beside Lyconentals, anytime.
