Brand Loyalty
funkmeister:
Let's hear about if you gravitate to some brands and how that shapes your car shopping experience.

So I'll start off. I'm partial to Mazda and have been for over a decade. As a teenager I was always preferring the American stuff but when I found out that Ford had controlling stock of Mazda I broadened my horizons. Now I don't care about nationality but I like Mazda because of a few things. First, their rear windows go down much farther than anyone else's I've seen. Second, they have enough rear seat legroom in their compact cars. So I got my new wife (at the time) a Mazda Protégé and we still have it after 11 years. We also have a Mazda MPV 'cause the family grew a bit a few years back.
When testing minivans, I liked the ships (Honda Odyssey and such) but my wife hated them. Then we found a used MPV and it drove nearly like a car. Sold!

I'll give my spiel later, but here's what I was working on yesterday. 1929 Packard.
Forgot to take pics of the interior, but the clocks at Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Not about me, but since you brought up Mazda I thought I would mention my friend. You want to talk about brand loyalty? His whole family has Mazda cars. In like 11 years he himself has had a 626, two Millenia, Speed 6, Mazda3 hatch, Speed 3, and now a Miata. His family adds an RX-7, another Millenia, a Mazda6 sedan, and now a Mazda5.

Does the Packard have a tubeless conversion or do you have to track down tubes and tube repair stuff? That thing looks awesome, btw.
