I tried to keep my vehicles domestically made but I got tired of break-downs and junk. My last one was a new 1972 Chevy. Man, what a clunker. I'm sorry but I talked to alot of mechanics in those days and they were fed up with the country club atmosphere that was Detroit. I know I am treading on sacred ground here and I don't want to offend anyone but I'm a true American and a war veteran, but Detroit's culture in those days were "if it is broken..don't fix it". Problems they knew about in one year carried over into the next and the next. You pull into the dealer and they knew the problem without looking at it. Anyways...they finally did get their act together but their reputation takes many years to restore.
