Michigan is the top car manufacturing state in the country. I didn't see any Mercedes, BMW's, I saw one Volvo. The fact that almost every car there was either Ford, Chrysler or GM was very impressive. You will not find that level of support for anything in California.
I bought my wife a Honda Pilot recently. It was either the Honda or a Ford Flex. I wanted the Ford but my wife went with the Honda because it seats 8 compared to the Ford which seats 7. She has a large Portuguese family and insisted the extra seat was necessary.
I also own a 1987 Dodge D150 with a 5.9-liter V-8. What an great truck!

If I could fall in love with an inanimate object, this might be one of them.
