Funny how people have brand loyalty. I worked for in our district garage
for more than 10 years and we had a fleet or more than 250 cars, pickups
and trucks. Given my experience there and elsewhere, I would never buy a
Dodge-Chrysler product. When it came to cars and pickups, the Fords
were by far the most reliable and longest lasting.

The only really good Big Three car I ever had was my mother's old Buick.
Given my experience with Ford dealerships, who treat their franchise as
a license to steel, I won't ever buy another Ford. Nor would I buy
another GM. Other than my mother's old Buick, the only cars I have owned
over the last 25 years have been a Mazda, two Hondas and a Toyota.
