GM only

04 Vette, 00 Silverado, 01 Alero, 72 Nova.

Kinda funny, we got the Vette and used the GM Loyalty rebate. Salesman asked if I could show proof - I asked how many he wanted.

Had a VW Golf once, quit about once every two weeks. Gave it to a friend and he drove trouble free for years. We switched cars for a week when he needed to haul some junk away in my pickup and the D@mn thing quit on me again - had to jump the starter in the rain at a rest stop - never again!

I like the new Mustang, but think they would fight overnight in the Garage

I am a Chevy guy. I still have my first car a 1968 Camaro 202,348 miles, 327 rebuilt, totally redone inside and out. Only driven to shows and on sunny days. Sold my 97 Z-28 when I got my new 2003 Vette. It is my daily driver. My wife has a Lexus and no offense to GM and the other brands out there the Lexus is the best luxary car made.

I've driven a lot of vehicles from Europe, Japan and the USA. Price, performance, relaibility, not having to speak a foreign language all put me in American made products. I have no more, no less problems than any of my co-workers in BMW's Lexus, Acura, Honda, etc. I thought Corvette parts were expensive till I hear wwhat these guys pay for parts. Umm, right now we own about 6 GM products and 1 HD. And that's without the "Buy American" arguments.

My last three vehicles before the Vette were all Chevy Silverado or K1500 pickups. My daily driver is the last of the trucks, a 2002 Silverado. The only thing that might keep me from another Silverado are those horrible looking cat-eyes and sharp angles on the front hood of the current models.

To all you Ford bashers out there...I have a 93 Ranger with 240K on the clock, and besides brakes and fluid changes, have had to do NOTHING to the truck except wash and wax it. I love my Vette, but cerainly can't say the same for it, or other GM cars I have owned. Let the flames begin.

Up here in snow country almost every member of our Corvette club had Ford 4X4 pickups, Broncos, or SUV's as a second vehicle. Go figure.
