Ernie,
I'd say you've waited long enough, longer than I would have. While I think I understand a person's being loyal to a certain brand, it's not something I subscribe to. Why should I, the auto makers haven't done me any favors, so I'll buy what ever fits my needs best. I like the Ford head the best right now, but I can't justify the extra cost. Does greater enjoyment come from a steadfast loyalty to Ford?

Leslie.files,
Growing up, I spent my weekends at Bemidji, Hibbing, and Grand Rapids' tracks.
