I grew up in Motown. Dad worked for GM, Mom for Ford and FIL for
Chrysler. I can get family discounts and am considering a PT Cruiser.

First car was a used Toyota Corona. Served well for a year. Next car
was a brand new Civic hatchback. Served well until it was stolen.
Another car was an Olds Cutlass given to us and it served us well.
Next was a brand new Nissan Sentra, the basics, no radio or anything.
'86. Sold it to the woman next door and it's still running well. Car
now is a Subaru wagon, '92. It has rattles and such but still works.
