I watched the episode he talked about that in, and if I recall, he said something about a modification that the company that legalized it did that kept shorting it out. I'm not sure of the reliability of the GT, but we've had a good number of Fords, and only one had problems out of the blue, and that was out Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Currently, we have an F150, and I have a 1986 Ranger. Ah well, at least in it's hay-day once it was brought here and improved with a more reliable, engine, cooling system and better suspension system, it did it's job. Though the new one is pretty slick too, worth it's keep I'd say.

If I remember correctly, it was the anti-theft system malfunctioning. Then there was the exploding trickle charger, and many electrical problems.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I'm not really sure the whole story, since it's been maybe a year since I've seen that video, and I don't have any real desire to look it up, since their banter doesn't appeal to me. I prefer Car and Driver, since they're not as biased. They don't do the weird, stupid tests, but whatever. Lol
