If you had to pick a new profession and start a week from Monday what would your new profession be?

@Stereoguy me too but I decided to be a computer mechanic instead. it's great, don't get me wrong, but i would love to work on cars

@GermanAf Given the questionable quality of American cars, you would definitely have job security.

@Punches haha but Ford has improved so much!

@Unefilletrescurieuse Well, I have heard that. Supposedly some of their new vehicles compete with Toyota and Honda for dependability. I don't really believe that. I would still choose Honda or Toyota.

One thing people forget about dependability - Most new cars are. If buying used though, THAT is when it comes into question.

@Punches They had to. So many Americans (myself included) bought only Japanese made cars (Toyota and Honda) for better quality and definitely dependability.

Believe it or not... it’s true. I have connections. And new cars are NO guarantee! They’ve left many stranded.

@Unefilletrescurieuse Ford sure as heck had a LOT of room for improvement..... and now that they are getting rid of cars , that may be plus for them...lol.

@Unefilletrescurieuse American cars have generally gotten better but they still have a sad history.

I understand about new cars too.

I think though with Japanese cars, less things randomly just break.

@heavyone2 Getting rid of? Dunno about that but they have improved tremendously.

@Punches I have driven Ja pan cars a long time. 🤩

@heavyone2 The typical weak spot for Fords is the transmission. Sadly though, once a transmission screws up, the vehicle is pretty much done cause those things are horrible to fix.

@Unefilletrescurieuse I have for close to five years. One is some 25 year old Corolla and my other car is a slightly newer civic.

I think the Corolla will rust away before it dies.

@GermanAf Pick California. Everyone is desperately dependent on their car here. People write love songs about cars. Ownership of a car often outlasts a typical marriage here.
