I'm the son of a Chevy owner, and yes I have bought Chevy's in the past. I've owned one Suzuki SJ-10 and a Mazda 323 when I was stationed over seas. I currently own 2 Chevy's; a 99 Venture and 92 1/2 ton pick-up. My wife drives the Venture to school and back so it only has about 75-80K miles on it. The only issue we have had is the head gaskets blew on it during a trip to Dallas. Oh , and the front wheel bearings went out, got loose, at about 70K miles. Since we bought it new it has been a reliable work horse/school bus for my wife.

The only issue I have with GM is their electronic replacement parts. I recently bought an alternater from a GM dealer for my pick-up and it was not holding the voltage steady. So I took it out and returned it for another and it did the same thing. Statistically speaking that is not possible, to have two bad parts in a row like that with the exact same problem. I finally went to an after market alternator with no further problems.

Now my pick-up is getting old so I'm in the market for a new truck and yes, I am looking at Chevy's, but only out of habit. I'm going to have to force myself to stop at the Toyota dealer to look at their trucks, they have some nice standard features I'm interested in that Chevy only has as options.
