Customers don't come more loyal than Joseph Macko. The 84-year-old Flint man has bought or leased a new Cadillac every year since 1955. Macko is a retired General Motors worker. He told The Flint Journal that he used to buy a new car every year, but he's been leasing the last few years. Last week, he drove home this year's fresh set of wheels: A black 2009 Cadillac DTS. Macko said he buys a new car every year because "You only live one time.""Money is to spend," Macko told the Flint Journal. "I spend it once I get it."His wife, Marcella Macko, told the Flint Journal she doesn't get excited about the annual trip to the dealership anymore."He does, but I don't," she said.
