Nicki Lauder.

What does Dale Earnhardt and Pink Floyd have in common?
The Wall.

I just got rid of my '03 Jetta, not because there was anything I didn't like about it but because DH thought I should have a new car for Christmas. I really loved it too; it never gave me any trouble.

AND, I bought a Ford Mustang GT.....the first American car I've owned since my '86 Camaro! Since then (20+ years), my ex, myself, and 2 college kids have had 3Honda Civics (great cars), a Nissan Maxima (worst car I've ever owned), an Isuzu Trooper (best car I've ever owned), and 2 Toyotas (mediocre to sh*t).

DH and I both bought American this year...we'll see how it goes.
