I don't lose any sleep over it either. The lungs of all the people living on the west coast are filtering the Chinese air for me.

But what you fail to understand from my posts is whatever China pumps into their air, ends up in yours. You should care what they do. It's affecting your health.

Not in China. Why do you think governments all over the world are telling their Olympic teams to arrive as late, and leave as early as possible to the games in Beijing? Tough emissions are a good thing, but only if everyone follows them. Your tough emissions are only benefiting the states that are east of you. Living in one of them, I thank you for them.

Your tougher emission laws are doing nothing for your air quality since all the pollution being released in Chinese factories are traveling the Pacific to your shore. More coal burning plants with poor emission equipment are being built there everyday, so your problems are only going to get worse. It wouldn't matter if all cars were running on water.

Norfolk is the effect of slowing sales, not the cause.

Why would Ford pay to expand a plant while it has one working one shift?

How could it NOT start up? It's the same drivetrain as the 'Vic, isn't it?

I have/had two Foci. I love/loved both of them. After the '00 conks out and ends up with a V8, I will probably buy another for a commuter car.

And the Taurus has higher transaction prices.

$20 bucks says you don't have a clue. And, stop following me!

Yeah. All of us Electricians are invited up to the glass house personally by Mark and Bill every quarter to go over profit margins. :rolleyes:

Re-badged? Little bit of a stretch there, don't ya think there Nick? Same platform, but re-badged? Did the Taurus come a V8?

Glad you could join us!

Um, no. My dad will finally be taking his buyout Nov. 1st and he has an Edge and a Fusion, both company cars, and both ordered to his specifications. He doesn't do any traveling. He is only a superintendent. And, when you the salaried take their buyout, they are prohibited from working for Ford or any of their competitors for one calendar year. That is the reason his buyout was extended from March until November. All salaried buyouts must be off rolls by Jan. 1st, or they forfeit their packages.

Blech! :wacko:

Don't forget the MkX.

I have a hard time believing that a Fusion generates more profit than a 2008 Taurus.

You would be a fool to take a buy-down in your hourly wage.

Mine was not replaced due to a faulty part. It was done by my stupidity, and a tow strap. :D Anyway, it took about three days for my dealer to order the part, paint the plastic, swap the wiper motor to the new piece, and reinstall.

I suspect you don't know many nurses if that is what you think they do.

I like this one better: I mean, c'mon. How many times do you see people admitting they were polishing their feces?

I dunno. It's not the most attractive, but not the ugliest either. Hopefully they sell like hotcakes.

Denial? Looks like it. Every newspaper in the free world has announced our closure.

She didn't deserve the Apprenticeship she received, or the appointed job she had while she was still here. If she hadn't been the building chairman's daughter, she would have been on the line. Same goes for his son-in-law.

Wanna know what really sucks? You can't just replace the plastic piece. It is attached to the glass. It'll cost ya about $1100 to replace, as I have replaced mine.
