I want to get everyone's take on this issue, as I find it sort of interesting.
As a Mustang site, I assume that most everyone here is a fan of the actual car (except for OpenTracker, lol) and has SOME affinity towards Fords.
As a young man, I was a Ford man to the core. I only wanted Fords to win NASCAR, I only wanted to own/work on Ford cars. The WORST kind of car was a GM or any Import. Chrysler was one step up. Ford was way up on top of the pile.
As I've aged, I've mellowed quite a lot. I now drive a Toyota, and have a lot of brand affinity for Toyota/Lexus. My NASCAR driver of choice is Tony Stewart (Who used to drive a COT with a Toyota logo, but now drives a COT badged with a Chevy logo) and I now have a great deal of appreciation for ALL brands. Sure I still know more, and tend to like more the Fords, but over the years, I have come to appreciate all the great iron GM and Chrysler have put out, And have likewise come to appreciate Foreign cars of all stripes for what they are. Heck, I LOVE the little VW Cabriolet I bought for my wife.
What about you? Is Ford your top? Is the Mustang really your FAVORITE car, or are you just here because the Mustang is one of the many cars you love/appreciate/own. Is Chevy a bad word? Could you ever drive a Japanese car?
I think some take it for granted that if you're here you're a Mustang/Ford guy. But a LOT of the members here have cars from the other brands, too. Like a couple of guys have GTOs. There are some chevy trucks. Even a Fiero.
Me personally? I love cars, and I don't have it in me, anymore, to look down on any of the other brands. Sure I love my mustang above all others, but that's because it's MY mustang!
