Nope.
Being the motor-head that he is, he knew the Porsche was a money pit....:)


Have you ever met someone who's a stranger but it seems as though you've known them all your life and you instantly trust them, implicitly?
He stayed around to watch over me 'til the next prospective buyers came and went.
He's been here ever since.
[plus, I knew he was The One when my dogs didn't eat him...;))]
He gets so annoyed when I tell people God sent him to me....LOL!

Verrrry rarely. On the other hand, after observing people for a relatively short time I'm an excellent judge of character.(a week, a month depending on how much contact you have with them..) But in the past, I've been blinded by love (errr, lust).

Anything French goes without saying.

The AMC-built Renault Alliance comes in a close second.

Mitsu's made after '99 I've had luck with. Ford trucks are OK but the cars suck.

Had a '94 Mitsubishi Eclipse that was a POS.

I now have a 2004 Galant LS that has been flawless so far (11k miles) and has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

I can tell you I won't be buying any Citroens.

To be fair, Chrysler has improved a lot.

Probably the Benz influence from the merger. The new 300 is a sharp looking car.

My high school car was an '84 Chevy Celebrity. It had 102,000 miles and I got it in 1994 for $350.

Ran well for a couple years, but it leaked so much oil I had to keep 12 quarts in the car at all times-it must have needed a quart a day.

My freshman year of college, the engine died on I-76 and it never started again regardless of what I tried to do to it.

V6 Mitsubishis made from the late 90s-on are great. Stay away from their 4-bangers unless you like driving a lawnmower.

I have an '04 Galant LS with a V6 and love it. That company has come a loooong way since the POS Galants of the '80s.

If you count the Mazda, half of 'em are Ford products. Way to go, Q-1 guys! BTW, Ford is the ONLY US car company in the list (Chrysler is German).
