[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood only poor people drive Japanese cars. It is a sign of poor breeding.

Poors don't have time to take the car to the shop every couple of months. Would drive me nuts.[/quote]

So where are all the old Japanese cars? My second car I bought used was a [b]1967 Pontiac[/b] in 1981 and sold it in 1983 to a guy who still owns it. One day four years ago was back home and turns out had chance to take it out as owner was at the same BBQ. Had not driven in in 35 years and it purred like a kitten.

American cars from invention to car till very very early 1970s were great. Around 1973 became crap and stayed that way till almost 2003.

The 2020 Corvette, Jeeps, Escalades, Dodge Vipers, Camaro Convertibles are in plenty a rich house. And a plain old base model Chevy brand new is not sexy but a very reliable and easy to fix car. Camrys and Accords brand new are to expensive for a person buying a new car fresh out of school.

I bought a [b]Camry[/b] brand new and went to junkyard in 2012. 16 years and it was done. My [b]Fiat[/b] was a nightmare, my [b]Mercedes[/b] was a lemon, I loved my [b]BMW[/b] will buy another but maint was expensive, my [b]Jeeps[/b] I love but too bumpy, my [b]Nissan[/b] Folded like a tin can in an accident. My [b]Subaru[/b] super reliable but at 100k a few expensive repairs and it was traded in.

My[b] base model Caddie[/b] honestly lived my BMW much more but this car is soooo much cheaper to maintain. And does not age. My wife’s car is worth double but a shinny black Cadillac is perfect for weddings, country club. Her [b]Denali[/b] is s but much as if we are preparing for end of world [/quote]

By my count, that's 10 cars - 11 if you count the multiple jeeps.  Exactly how old are you?  [/quote]

I have my license 40 years. I own three cars right now.

I have owned 18 cars. American - Two Dodges, Two Jeeps, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Plymouth, Two Mercury’s, Chevy, Cadillac. Foreign - Subaru, Fiat, Nissan, 
Toyota, Mercedes and BMW.

My 1974 Mercury Capri was American AND Foreign. Had Mercury body and German Engine and Transmission

Favorite of 18 was my black 1969 Plymouth looked like one from Fast and Furious my BMW five series handled best and my Mercedes convertible little temperamental but loved it. Next up Porsche or Jag Convertible [/quote]
