In Reply to: Is your car foreign or American? - GabbyChick
The truck mileage sucks, only 12 mpg. Hubby wanted to buy a Toyota this year but with his work being so slow, he's stuck with the Chevy. He's had nothing but problems with it.
My last car was a ྙ Olds Delta 98 LS. 30 mpg. It turned out to be a flood car, but we got 5 years use. The flood didn't reach the engine. The engine was like brand new, only 45,000 miles when we bought it in 2003. I miss it. It went to the car graveyard after we took the engine out to put in the Buick above.
We always pay cash for our cars, so really don't ever buy brand new. Got the Buick for nothing because it had a blown engine and I found 3 cents in it to boot. Now that's a deal. LOL
We owned a Datsun Maxima back in the 80s, but it was a diesel and I didn't like it. Gave me backache, and the only other foreign car we owned was a ྄ Opel. That was a good car and comfortable to drive.
We always bought American.

Thanks Tristen! Ya know I am embarrassed to say, but before my first pitbull Choppa I was one of those skeptical that bought into the media displaying them as bad dogs cuz u hear so much, but I fell in love with Choppa the minute I saw him & he REALLY opened my eyes up to the breed. I am thankful for him coming into my life. And I know if it hadn't been for me falling in love with the breed then I hate to say, but I wouldn't have stopped and tried to get Chevy. These dogs have opened my eyes to so many things. I mean, it is amazing to me that they can love again with all their heart after what all they go through. This is a remarkable breed & I thank God for having them in my life every single day!

I enjoyed reading about Chevy, thanks for all you have done for him, you are wonderful parents, he is so lucky you stopped for him, people like you give me hope for the animals.
We have a Chevy HHR and a Jeep sm
The HHR is the first "new" car we have had, and it was a year old when we bought it. DH also had a Chevy C-10 pickup truck that he sold a couple of months ago because it needed a transmission. The Jeep was my mom's that she sold to us when she moved a couple of years ago. We have mostly had GM products. The only foreign car we ever had was a 1985 Mercedes 300 SEL that turned into a money pit. We ended up selling it a year after we bought it and barely got back what we paid. It was a nice car for about 2 months but unless I can afford to buy new with a warranty, which will most likely be never, I wouldn't buy another one. My dad drives Toyotas now, which is so funny because he is the one who got me into liking classic cars like Mustangs, Impalas, Firebirds, etc.
My 1986 Chevy Nova....
Cars you have to actually drive yourself.
Keyboards
Coal-powered electric plants
Anything that runs on gasoline
Push mowers--come on, they should be able to make something like the Roomba, only for grass that doesn't cost more than my paycheck.
People who think I am a Satan worshipper because I decorate my yard for Halloween.
My DH drives a Chevy Malibu Maxx...
I have a 2005 Buick LeSabre and we also have an older Ford Explorer that DH kept to use for hauling "stuff".....
I've never had anything but an American made car........... LOL, I'm not exactly a car salesperson's dream customer........ I keep my cars forever......
1972 Plymouth Duster
1984 Buick Skyhawk
1996 Buick Century
2005 Buick Skyhawk..........
only 4 cars in over 30 years......
I totally agree, my Chevy Suburban has 213,000 miles on it - sm
and going strong. Though they are a lot cheaper used now, friends got theirs for about $14K, we paid $26K, ours was 2 years old when we bought it in 1999, their's was about 5 years old in 2005. Granted we could save some on gas, and my DH is constantly trying to get me to get a new car to save money on gas. But I see little point in spending $30K so I can save $50 a month on gas. I plan on running my Suburban into the ground and then picking up a smaller used SUV or a wagon of some sort (Honda, Toyota). But I still have 2-3 years before that happens with any luck.

Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!
