My grandfather spent 30 years working on the line for GM

except for about 2 years when we went through a few Volvos, everyone in my family has had GM cars.

I made a mistake of buying an older BMW for a daily driver, and my Corvette is twice as reliable. My vehicle will be a Chevy truck

wouldnt even consider buying another type chevy or domestic brand. i love all vettes,but thats the only all american machine i own. even though most foriegn cars may be built here, most aren't styled or engineered here,and thats makes a big difference. even though toyota,honda, and bmw(to name a few) manufacture auto's on US soil,the quality control still beats our domestic brands,by ions. this is the greatest country in the world,alas, im an american worker too, i know exactly what im dealing with

I normally buy GM but not always Chevy. We have two Chevy's now, plus a Pontiac. However, in the past I have had Fords, Mercedes, and Olds.

Been a Pontiac guy all my life. This is the first chevy ive ever owned. Im 43 and when all my friends were into camaros and chevelles i was into firebirds and GTOs. I still have a 73 formula 400 with a close ratio 4spd and 3.73 posi. when i bought the vette I was actually looking for a 65 gto 4spd tri-power but couldnt touch one for what i paid for the vette. just like the other toys ill never get rid of it.

Parked in my drive today are a Corvette, a VW, and two Chevy vans. My next vehicle will be a Jeep GC.
I'll buy whichever vehicle meets my needs the best.

I currently own a TrailBlazer and a Corvette, but I wouldn't consider myself a "Chevy Only" person. I've owned Dodges, Fords, Pontiacs, Chevrolets, Mazdas, Volkswagens, Fiats (eek!), Triumphs, MGs, Hondas, and Nissans. I tend to buy the best available "fit" depending on my financial status and family needs. Many (many) years ago I swore that I would never own a pickup truck, station wagon, or a van...and I've had all three. Kids do that to you. But they're gone now and I have a comfortable SUV for long-distance traveling, and one of the finest sports cars on the planet. I'm a happy guy.

Used to be a ford guy until I got a bad one. Other than the Vette, I have
a SilveradoSS, and a Maxima. American cars don't fit my wife thus the Maxima.

well, it all started when my Dad bought his 57' 2-door Belair hardtop way back in 1958. Almost 50 years and dozens of Chevy's later our family has remained loyal to the GM/Chevy brand. The last addition was my 00' C5 and the next vehicle will be a full size pickup, when ever the Silverado gets that face lift..haha.
