I have always loved Chevy's. But I have lost some of the love since they did away with the F-body and started force feeding the car buying public all of their front wheel drive V6 sh*t. Ford comes out with a pretty good looking mustang and what is Chevy's answer? The Cobalt They wonder why they are losing market share. Go figure.
Currently have a Blk 99 mn6 coupe, a Red 93 Z-28, and an 04 Ford F-150.

My wife and I have owned a few GM products in the past(a few firebirds and a monte carlo). That said the only chevy I'll probably ever own is my vette. We buy strickly foreign cars(japanese) for our daily drivers and have had no problems. I just can't justify the price of a new GM car when I look at the quality of a toyota or honda. Yes they cost more, but they hold there values much better too.

I love the Vette due to its looks and style, not because it's a Chevy. That being said my extended family has always owned GM products, but not necessarily Chevys. I've had a Ford which I liked and a Dodge which I hated.

I only buy GM's. A Ford or an Uncle Ben will never find a place in my driveway!

I have mostly owned Chevys, starting with a '57 back in the 60's. I presently have my Vette, a '33 Chevy Street Rod, and a 72' El Camino SS. All 3 have the same 350 engines, just different HP's !

I like GM - last 6 cars have been from the general.

I am a current owner of a 2003 Trailblazer EXT LT V8 4x4


And my Vette

I plan on replacing the TB with another 7 passanger TB. If the TB SS comes in the EXT model that will be sweet. The TB SS is going to have the LS2

I am 100% GM! I have tried other vehicles but they just make my skin crawl sitting in a non GM car or truck. I am trying to be more open and become diverse in my vehicle brand aquisition. I am looking at a new M5 BMW but it is tough to change old developed habits. I have been loyal to GM when I spend my own cash. I am getting ready to jump ship for something else.

Yeah, me too. Ford trucks rule! I personally doubt that I'd ever buy a Chebby anything if it weren't for the Vette. I have my 2000 F-150 daily driver, my wife drives an XTerra, and I'm in the middle of a perpetual restoration of my '72 Buick GS455.
