I own an old, cheap, fugly not quite green, not quite blue crappy Geo Storm (much to my 6'2" husband's dismay) that runs better then anything else I've owned.

I got it for the grand total of $28.62 and about 2 hours of sewing time and 4 hours of time I spent mostly on a ladder. Cost of material to make some really fugly curtains, and paint a wall (you are reading that right ONE wall). Which goes with my fugly car I guess. (We don't discuss the curtains. They were so bad and bright it took 2 weeks to get the after image out of my eyeballs. I still can't stand the color yellow, pink, orange and kelly green together. And yes, the lady had to have forgotten her prozac THAT day, because I sure can't come up with any other reason for that color combination.)

Yeah, yeah, I'm just now getting around to this.

I live in Arkansas/Texas, although registered in Arkansas.
I drive a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE (mini-van)
And I bought it because it was the best value for my money.

I drive a 1995 Ford Mustang, I bought it used a couple of months ago and it is my favorite color-Bright Red.

I drive a 1959 Oldsmobile. Got it from my great Aunt. Just drove my son home fromt he hospital in it Thursday.
I also bought a 57 GMC, 57 Chevrolet Bel Air, 73 Mach 1
I wouldn't have a foreign car if they gave it to me. German cars?! Japanese cars!? I've got a long memory and I doubt I will live long enough to forgive.

That's how I feel about Fords. [huh]

[Marc Chevalier]

Ah, yes. Henry Ford and that "Protocols of Zion" nonsense.

Viola

Yep, I agree with you there. He definitely had a position that was reprehensible. The Mach 1 I own never gave his family a cent though because it was not bought new by me.

The best car Ford ever made was the Model A... there are still people who drive them daily... I know a few of them... they're good on gas, oil and they still make parts for the darn things! It truly is a car for the ages!

The only Ford I'd buy is a Model A.

Save a job, buy American!

=WR=

A lot of Fords are made in Mexico. My Honda was made in the United States.

I've had three Fords and don't plan to buy another.

A lot of Model A's are in regular use up here as "skidders," trucks that have been modified to work in the woods hauling out timber. They don't have to be registered, so no worries about rusty bodies, missing glass, or anything like that -- in fact some of them are nothing more than engines, transmissions, wheels, and steering, with chains hitched onto the back. But they still run, and they still earn their keep -- pretty amazing for vehicles going on 80 years old...

Someone asked for a photo of my '58 Fiat Roadster. I don't have a photo of my car, but here's an ad from Fiat with a pic:

Incidentally, the wheel covers are fake knock-offs, and they are an exact match to what I have. Mine is white with red & black interior. It was my high school graduation present in 1968.

 

[Dinerman]

that's not a car I see every day. It's really sporty looking, but with just enough eccentricity to make it fun.

 

[jamespowers]

Kind of looks like a Kaiser Darrin.

WOW! That's great, I would love to see them in action. Swell!

Just curious but what brand of TV do you own?

 

[Jack Scorpion]

I'd love to drive a big American car. They just look so good.

But a few weeks ago, when I was in the market, my criteria just couldn't fit any of the good American cars in my price range. For my first car I needed the antilocks and the airbags and the good mpg and no immediate maintenance required and a figure under 5K -- and dang it, I don't want a Saturn.

So I drive a 2000 Suzuki Esteem.
