The "brand loyalty" thing has never really affected me - I'm obssessed with cars.
Any cars.
Especially hot cars.
Holdens, Fords, Chevs, Mopars, Nissans, Mazdas, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Toyotas, Mitsubishis, BMWS, Mercedes. They all have some awesome models, and they all have some cars which have been modified by their owners to be awesome.
Why restrict yourself to one of anything?
Thats like saying "my favourite food is ice cream, so don't give me any of your crappy chocolate, or steak, or any of that other stuff, it all sucks"
I'd have about 20 nice cars if I could afford it. And sorry, but I just can't find it in myself to hate "ricers". Has anyone who claims to hate "rice" ever actually been in a Skyline GTR? That is one serious piece of muscle, Japanese pedigree or not.
Which is not to say I don't love my Commodore. I can't think of a better all round car for me - good size, good handling, decent amount of power, cheap to buy, and run, and doesn't break down too often. And it looks pretty good too. And last but not least, Commodores have a huge following, which makes finding parts, and help about performance mods, repairs, and anything else you need to know very easy.
...except maybe a Ford...
