Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, my entire family worked for GM. Every division, every brand, was covered, some engineers, some line workers, needless to say the whole family drove GM products. My Dad retired in 2003, from Pontiac Motor Division with 41 yrs, my Grandfather also retired from PMD with 30 yrs, my mom worked in the engine plant (plant 8) for 8 yrs, even while pregnant with my younger brother. I'm kind of a car nut, I've had over 350 in my 42 yrs on this earth, but my first Chevy was my favorite. It was a Marina Blue 65 Chevelle, I bought from my dad for $700, it had a million mile 307 in it, used to have to put at least a quart of oil in it every day, before I sold it I installed a 64 425 horse 409 in it, ran it one time at the track (11.94) and got "banned" for it. I'll never forget that car though. Got my first "booty call" in that car! Fun was had by all! I loves my GM products, I currently have 7, and I'm sure I won't be stopping anytime soon.
