Dad worked at GM from 1956 to 1986. I don't believe he owned one Chevy during that entire period. Disloyal? I don't think so! When I worked at GM after my discharge, I bought a Camaro, first new car I ever owned! It lasted about three years and basically fell apart...1979 to 1982 RIP....
So, I too drive a Ford truck and have owned several other small sedans made by Ford because, their well made, relatively inexpensive and the dealer is NOT ripping people off.. They get decent gas mileage and after all, I only sit in it about an hour a day and I'd much rather spend money on other things. My car is NOT an extension of something else that I may be lacking....
After all, .45 ammo ain't cheap.....
