In my adult life, I've owned a 1976 Chrysler, a 1986 Mitsubishi, a 1998 Daewoo, a 2001 Nissan (when in Philly) and a 2004 Toyota. My brand loyalty, such as it is, is to Toyota.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have what I consider a rational aversion to Ford because of the utterly crap-ass Tempo that I had in college that racked up thousands in repair bills. Worst car I ever had
Yeah, most Tempos were of the suck. The American car companies really screwed themselves over in the '70s and '80s by building poor-quality cars that turned off many people to American cars.

My worst car in terms of being a money sink was a Subaru. I would be willing to give Subaru another chance, but my wife would not. Thus no Subarus in our future. There are some nice Subarus out there, but none that I'd be especially crazy over.

Yep. Did you know the Mustang II was based on the Pinto? Dunno if the Mustang II shared the Pinto's tendency to blow up, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think that the British military is also searching.
There are a number of Brits onboard that plane.
And children. More than 10. And a baby.

“Not dead yet!”
Only American sedan I ever had (Oldsmobile Ninety-eight, inherited from the MiL), had a disturbing tendency to stop-- not stall, not sputter, just stop with no warning, causing all its systems to fail. There was no rhyme or reason to the stoppage, it just was. And of course, it never did it when I took it to the dealer.
It was after it pulled this routine on I-65 in Nashville in rush hour traffic that I said, enough! Got a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I absolutely ADORED and would have driven into the ground if not for the appearance of Abby a scant fifteen months after Nate. Car was big enough for the four of us, but couldn't squeeze another person in, a problem when any family came to visit.
