Yeah I always see AMG Mercedes engines blowing blue smoke out the back.

Funny last I heard they produced some of the best Formula 1 motors out there. Which is what Bad 281 is missing in my original reply.
But yeah I know what your talking about from the Lee Iacocca days of bad or cheap rings in the engines. Lots of ugly square minivans out there with soot covered lift gates.
We can say that about almost every american manufactor. I've seen lots of smoking Fords, GM's, and Chryslers over the years.
