I prefer to use the American Standard:
Around 30 years ago, I began to add metric tools to my collection. I very seldom use any of them.
There is one part of American cars which have always been metric.
Does anyone know what it is?

Battery volts?

Yes anyone knows allot cars, but his neighbor who doesn’t know anything except 1st base. Everybody knows that nobody perfect. Nobody being perfect must know or he wouldn’t be perfect.
I would go with San Diego.
Ok I was just kidding, it is volume of the horn.

I don't know about "always" but tire width has been in millimeters since I started paying attention. A typical tire designation like P225/50R16 will have a width in millimeters, a unitless aspect ratio and an imperial rim diameter.
Anything else I've measured on cars have had either metric or imperial depending on the car. Unless you are talking about something in the electrical system, which is cheating because there aren't any simple imperial for volts or watts. Maybe you could have a 0.1 horsepower headlight bulb, but I've never heard of one.
14 and 18mm spark plugs.
I have a small collection of craftsman wrenches and sockets in metric that I bought years ago back in the 80s. If I used a couple of the sockets and wrenches more than a few times, I doubt it.
My standard stuff from then is going fine.

If restricted to one set of tools, I would choose metric. They are close enough to standard sizes to use without rounding nuts and bolts on standard sizes. Standard US sockets are a tad too small when trying the opposite(ie 7mm 1/4”) I once owned an Olds Cutlass that was mixed standard and metric, it was a bitch to work on with anything but metric tools
Yah, the retarded American auto industry made all sorts of 16 and 18 mm hex head fasteners while the Europeans picked 15, 17 and 19. That sux.
