Started out with Chevies, the old man was a GM stalwart. I even worked at the Fisher Body Plant for my first real job back on the '58 Chevies, stayed there until '62 or '63. Spent my callow youth racing the mouse motors and a few four bolt rats then I noticed everytime the Chevies broke I was depending on an old Ford that didn't get a tenth of the TLC my chevies did. Didn't take a but a few better kept Fords to make me a convert. I have ended up with a few other makes as company vehicles etc. even bought a few Japs, Honda and Toyotas but return to Fords and am happy with them.

I'm biased to Ford, but for more reasons than just because my dad has owned them for years. I have a 1980 malibu with 150k miles on it. It runs, but needs an engine rebuild. I put valve stem seals in it, and it lost a lifter... It only carries 10 lbs of oil pressue hot in gear at idle... Not too bad, but my 351 in an E150 with about 165k still holds 25 or 30 hot in gear at idle.... I won't even get into the horror stories I have about some of our dodges.....

Yep, but then the child can reach self-realization or self-actualization and thus becomes a complete individual. Without self realization or self-actualization you are not yet grown up no matter how old you have become.

I was raised Chevy..... I loved my Chevy truck. It took more abuse than it deserved.
My 1st Ranger, an '86 did well also for the abuse it took. My 2nd Ranger, wifes 2001 Edge was a waste of money. Hated it.
My '91 F-150. It gets tempermental.....but I love my truck!!!

my family has had fords over the last 60 years, the only thing that isn't, is the chevy seed wheat truck, VW TDI Bug, and a Merkur(german ford) I am die-hard ford, I bleed ford blue, but the powerstroke before this one was nothing but problems, and this one is starting the same way, thread in the powerstroke forum. Shoulda bought a cummins dodge.
