Using Car Makes and Models and Dates to create personal passwords

[AtomicGT]

Is it common for Forum Members to use "Ford GT" or brands and makes of names or your cars to create all personal passwords for years ? Have creating some form of personal password using automobiles I have, most often with some reference to the Ford GT. Makes it easy to remember!

Speaking of passwords, why would capitalized letters or symbols make a password harder for an algorithm to break? They are just keystrokes, right?

Seems length of password is the key to security (to me). Symbols etc just make it harder for us to remember.
