one flew over the cuckoo's nest
It’s no secret that students here at Serrano take their cars very seriously. The battle between Ford and Chevy enthusiasts has been ongoing since who knows when. What is obvious however, is how serious they take their commitments to their cars and trucks.
These fanatics will go to the extreme to express their approval or disapproval of both brands. Acronyms are the biggest tactic. Ford lovers often say it stands for “First on Race Day.” Chevyists respute by saying “For Only Retarded Drivers” or “Found On Road Dead.” Chevy opposers, however, go around saying “Cheapest Heap Ever envisioned Yet.” This goes on and on, “Found Or Repaired Daily,” “Can Hear Every Valve,” “Fatally Obese Redneck Driver”…
Some might say the only way to improve the appearance of a Chevy is by parking it between two Fords. Senior Ryan Acuna agrees by saying, “Ford is an American favorite, but Chevy is a nice off brand.” Junior Bryce Nelson said, “Ford looks the best lifted and runs forever.”
Then there are those who debate between Chevy cars and trucks and Ford cars and trucks. Just to be different, Kyle Ilchi explained, “I prefer Ford trucks and Chevy cars. Just how I grew up.” Everyone has to have their opinion. There is obviously a huge difference between Chevy cars, Ford cars, Chevy trucks, and Ford trucks.
On the other hand, the reason there are sidewalks next to roads and highways is so Ford drivers have a way to walk home. Chevy truck owner David McNeally stated, “My Chevy gets me where I’m going.” Senior Robbie Newbold made it a point to say, “I find them to be more reliable and better built than Fords,” proving just how polarized this debate is.
Since the days of the Model T and the Royal Mail Roadster, this rivalry has been ongoing, and it will probably never end.

    The Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro have been rivals since the mid 60's. Fords Mustang was first introduced in early1964 as a sportier, more compact version of the Ford Falcon. Chevrolet didn't pay much attention to the ever so popular Mustang for about two years. Seeing as how popular the new sports car was, Chevy started brainstorming ideas for their own four-seating sports car. Hence the Camaro was born in early 1967.…

    In the 2010 models the winner of the styling contest is a bit of a toss-up. Both rides sit low while showing off their muscular curves. There is less than a fine line when determining whether smooth curves or ripped definition defines sexy styling. The Camaro features aggressive sharp angles while the mustang appears aerodynamic and speedy. The Mustang's grill is slim in contrast to gaping mouth of the Camaro. The interior styling seals the deal for those with the pocketbooks to consider test-driving. Ford has implemented premium styling in their Mustang. Chevy's interior design for the Camaro is unique and striking. The Mustang's short shift knob is a sleek and shiny aluminum, while the Camaro shows off a sexy jet black leather knob. The Camaro shows off an array of performance gauges located under the stereos message center and air conditioning controls. Chevy adds excitement with colorful accents to the doors, seats, and dashboard. While the Mustang lacks this sort of abstract appeal, Ford offers up a classy approach. Customizable dashboard lights and a gigantic 8 inch touch-screen message center, featuring a modern GPS system. Up-scale trim gives the Mustang a superior soft-touch feel. Overall these observations are less than the deciding factor-the buyers and fans. Taste will separate the buyers. Muscle car allegiance will separate the true…

    The Mustang and Camaro have been compared since the Camaro first came out in the late 1960’s. The Mustang was pretty much the only sports car that was also a muscle car. Well, of course Chevrolet had to compete with Ford so they came out with the Camaro. The release of the Mustang was followed closely by the release of the Camaro a few years later. There is no doubt about it that the team from Chevrolet had stolen a magnificent idea and plan. These two muscle cars began the path for a revolution in pony cars and racing. America fell in love with the Mustang and Camaro, which allowed Ford and Chevrolet to sell millions of them in just a few years. Ford has continuously been selling a large number of Mustangs ever since the beginning. Chevrolet had to stop their production of the Camaro.…

    GM-H has succeeded in creating Holden tribalism that can be equated to football fandom. At V8 Supercar races, Holden ‘supporters’ dress in red, just as Essondon F.C. supporters do at an AFL match. Holden has created this strong identity for Commodore fans through clever marketing. It is omnipresent; as an Australian, if a conversation turns towards automobiles, you will most probably be abruptly asked, ‘Holden or Ford?’ That is, by definition you must be either a ‘Holden Man’ or a ‘Ford Man;’ such is your consumer identity:…

    For years, the Porsche brand stands for expensive, high-performance sports cars. A typical consumer for Porsche is a young, adventurous, wealthy male who enjoys living life on edge (19). This single-minded focus would change in 1998 when Porsche made an announcement to develop an SUV to be released in 2003 in the United States. The new SUV would provide traditional Porsche styling and performance however combines components promoting family and outdoor activities. Porsche would be joining an already intensely competitive market primarily dominated by the Ford SUV. Additionally, the company would unintentionally anger loyal owners and Porsche enthusiasts – many of whom believed that the company has “sold out.” Hostility towards the launch of the Cayenne SUV was intense – disbelievers began expressing themselves via online message boards such as Rennlist, where they’d vent their displeasure, in addition to the offline world. “Consumer-generated-advertising spoofing the Cayenne made its way around to the Internet, consumers circulated bumper stickers, license plate frames, and t-shirts for the Cayenne with slogans like ‘My other car is a REAL Porsche.’” What was said online would soon travel beyond the Internet world; mainstream press and television programs would quote Porsche owners in new stories and would eventually develop and reflect the “online zeitgeist of the Porsche enthusiasts” (11).…
