Then I bought an Eagle Talon, which was basically a Dodge Neon with a DSM body kit. That solid little Chrysler 420A mill under the hood did right by me for over 200,000 miles. Today, my distaste for GM has turned into pure, vile, hatred and, despite the relative brilliance of the Camaro and CTS-V, I'd be too embarrassed to be seen in a GM product. At the same time, Ford, a brand I've never thought about beyond maybe an odd Focus rally car or noisy power steering pump, has begun to grow on me. I almost feel compelled to support them by being sure to consider at least a couple of their models when the time comes for another vehicle. Meanwhile, the DSMer in me who spent over a decade behind the wheel and crossed the country back and forth under Chrysler power, is sort of cheering for the home team. I hope that, with that parasite Nardelli out of the picture (they *did* show him the door, right?), they stand a chance of at least stumbling forward.
