    Modern cars have their box sections sprayed with wax, thats why rusted out sills aren't common anymore.

    A lot of cars are also galvanized dipped, so even hidden areas like box sections and the like are fully coated. It's when an accident repair takes place, there could be trouble further down the line.

    I remember the Maestro, and the Montego (saloon version of the Maestro).

    It had the female synthesised voice (often distorted) telling you the door was still open, low on fuel, stop picking your nose, etc.

    That was the A series engine, IIRC. That old power plant was used in many of their cars.

    Bit like a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine, used in many applications, and about as powerful

    Not powerful? It went like a lawnmower on a very low dose of steroids
