I believe the Oppo census confirmed this too.

I AGREE.

And I can say that now that my family doesn’t have an Audi in our garage for the first time since 2002.

Brand loyalty doesn’t bother me. Acting like it’s something to brag or be smug about, does.

Sweet duct tape. I had a black roll handy when we had the Sable and shit was falling off.

Well either brand loyalty or that person was a toyota mechanic for the early part of their lives.

That’s Gorilla tape. I used duct tape originally, but it lasted less than I week. This stuff survived all winter, but it’s about ready to be replaced.

I picked up a new fender a couple weeks ago. Just waiting to find a bumper cover in the right color so I can put my front end back together.

Man. For a Pontiac loyalist, you sure own a lot of Toyotas.

Ok, I’ll simplify.

Brand loyalty? Hmmm .....

No sir, I don’t like it!

For a FIAT / European car enthusiast, I’ve sure not-owned a lot of European cars and did own one Japanese and one South Korean car!

Fact. At one point I owned a Ford, a Jaguar, and a Chevy and I fucking hated that all my cars weren’t one brand and I can’t even figure out why. Now I’ve got a Toyota and the only second car I could get is a Toyota or Lexus when what I should really buy is another Corvair or shitty 80s Dodge K-car variant.

I know you’re being facetious, and I fully endorse it, but I’ll offer this amendment to your original premise:

Brand loyalty that is blind and not based on actual positive experiences (i.e., people who will only buy Chevy/Ford/Whoever and won’t consider or research anything else) is monumentally stupid.

All my vehicles have a rational explanation as to why I own them.

1) Tercel - plaid (wait, is that rational?)
2) Vibe - wife wanted a reliable hatchback that got good fuel economy. I shopped hard within certain constraints. I even made sure to buy a later model 1st gen and avoid the early oil consuming 1ZZ-FEs that plagued Corollas, Vibes, and Matrices. She loves it.
3) Longbed - One, look at it. Two, I bought it for $1,000. I’ll never get more utility per dollar with other other vehicle in my lifetime.
4) Tacoma - actually an employer-provided vehicle

I know right I don’t think I can even think of four brands that I would buy and stick to for the rest of my life.

I do have loyalties, but competing ones.

Passenger: look first at Ford - they’ve treated me generally well and I have owned something like 12 of them so far in my lifetime. I do own two dead marques though (International and Willys).

Motorcycles: Honda as first choice all the way! I do own a couple Kawasaki and a Suzuki though. Some day I’ll own a Triumph, but I’m too poor still...

That’s why between my wife and I and my parents and my sister we own 11 Toyotas.

Each sentence of this comment is more baffling than the last, but the conclusion really takes it from “why” to “WTF.”

Bruh, you’re telling me. Like I know that ideally I should have cars from different brands because Toyota doesn’t make another car I like but there’s this thing in my brain that goes ‘ALL BADGES MUST BE THE SAME’. It’s the dumbest god damn thing. As dumb as buying a k-car variant? Probably not, but pretty damn dumb.
