Parents influence on what brand you owned?

I've always had this saying " my Dad drove Chevys so naturally I drive mopars" LOL. I grew up around GM products and found Chrysler engineering a breath of fresh air. There were a couple fords owned by my siblings but that didn't last long. My father always panned fords so I wonder how much that influenced our choices later in life. The one person in my life who was a mopar guy was my uncle .I remember He drove a BB Dart at one time, later it was wagons but He had some cool mopars back in the day.
