Since my college "beater" (mazda 323), all our cars have been Chrysler or Dodge. Over the years, we've had a Sebring, 2 Dodge Durangos and a Chrysler 300M parked in our garage. There was a Saturn in there somewhere, too. My parents drove Chrysler's for many years, and even my mother-in-law has also had two Durango's after she replaced her Chrysler Concorde.
This moring when I was driving to work (in my 300M) I heard Pres. Bush's presser where he gave the auto makers (Chrysler, GM) $13.4B in loans, basiclly requiring them to promise to try to do better. There's $4B more in the wings in case they need it too. There's a scary threat of calling the loan if they haven't made progress on their promises by 31 Mar 09. Does anyone think that's going to happen under an Obama/Pelosi/Reid troika?
I called Mrs. Percy to tell her what I just heard on the radio. We both said, talking over each other at the same time, "I guess we've bought our last Chrysler product, GM too for that matter."
