Re: American made was Re: Hi

I also had great luck with a chevy.  I drove an Astro for both my
consulting and rodeo-ing adventures.  I still have it and it will
run, but reverse and low gear are going out.  I was hoping to get
400,000 miles on it, but it has 386,000.  I only replaced 3 heater
motors and 2 alternators. Although during this project at Indy, I am
not commuting daily, I miss driving that little van.
