I fully agree with you, Rich. Wherever you can find the
best value for your needs, wants, or limits (ie, bucks),
you should go for it. It is true that anyone could have
bad luck with any car, and therefore be unwilling to risk
buying another. If you have good luck with a car, you
probably will stick with its maker. That's life.

Anybody can badmouth a particular car, maker, or country
for one reason or another. I, for one, will not buy any
European car until I can afford a 930 Turbo. I dont care
if Hondas, VWs, Toyotas, Nissans, etc. are more reliable
or get good gas mileage or whatever. I just plain cant
stand them. The only ones that look half-way decent are
BMWs (Which are going downhill), Ferraris, and Porsches.

I'm glad I have a Vette and a Ford 4X4 Pickup that are
paid off. They are both 76s and have several minor
problems throughout each year, but I enjoy driving them
(I dont know about anyone else, but I drive to have fun,
not just to get where I am going). I'll take my stock
350 L82 with a Super T-10 4-speed, 373 rearend, P295/50s
(rear) and P265/50s (front) T/As and outdrive any of you.
