I learned to weld on TIG; aluminum and stainless. I got spoiled with the perfect seams that could be produced with very little experience.
When I started gas fed MIG I created some of the ugliest welds you've ever seen; 110/220, didn't matter.
I figured out that it was it was almost all about material prep and weld environment. When I was welding TIG it was very clean material in a regulated (indoor) environment. MIG is so easy and convenient it's easy to not prep the metal properly or get out the wind.
For car/light hobby work, a Miller 140 is prefect IMO.
