My resentment of Chevrolet (which has lessened greatly as I aged, but still won't buy one) started in high school. My grandmother bought me a 1969 Mustang coupe when I was 14 years old. It sat, therefore, in the driveway for a good two years before I could drive it. When I did begin to drive the little red coupe, an automatic with a basic 302 engine, that's when the trouble began. I loved that car and still miss it. A guy in my class owned a 69 Camaro with a 396 and I endured unending taunts about my car, unprovoked insults about how Ford was crap and Mustangs were trash. That was a polarizing moment for me that turned me against Chevrolet. It was only magnified by another guy who owned a 70 Camaro who joined in with the taunts. I hurled insults back, but this was my defining moment that made me a die hard Ford guy and considered Chevrolet the enemy. Not to mention that I lusted after a Shelby Mustang shortly afterward. I've never had bad feelings about Mopar though and I love Porsches old Mercedes, Lamborghinis and so on. My father owned a 1946 red Indian Chief motorcycle and said that Harley riders figuratively spat upon him and his Indian. He sold it for $500 but does look back and reminisces about it every once in a while. Anyone else with such polarizing experiences. I mean this is only one of many layers to explain why somebody resents a car brand,
