  1. I just saw on the news that GM is offering anyone with 10 YEARS or more seniority, $140k to leave. I guess GM employees are worth more than we are. If Ford wants us out so damned bad, why don't they step up and make us a decent offer?
  2. You'd be surprised what cars some Europeans are into...there's a site, www.imperialclub.com that has alot of European members. I had an offer from some French dude who wanted to buy the '73 Chrysler New Yorker I had a few years ago.
  3. Can't they find a job that is more suitable to your height or other physical issues? Or, is this a cake job that you don't want to give up? I'm 6'2...if they put me on a short person's job, I just say I can't do it. I don't ask that the plant be altered to suit me.
  4. Oh, so plastech has seperate plants that make parts for Ford?
  5. Haven't heard that...but what I'm wondering is if the plastech thing will impact Ford at all. I know Ford buys alot of parts from them.
  6. Saw on the news that Chrysler plants are shut down because of plastech filing bankruptcy...isn't Ford also a big customer of plastech?
  7. Put me down as one of the people who would've jumped at $140k and accrued pension. Ford must want me to hang around.
  8. I wasn't referring to bottom of the line work trucks...more middle level XLT, like most people buy. The trucks without all the shiny side cladding.
  9. Have you seen it, up close? Have you driven it? I have...and it looks far too much like the current model to be called "all new". Those same arguments were made for the Freestar..it's all new, every part was changed, etc. Still, it looked like the vehicle it replaced. If you want to see just HOW similar the '09 is to the '04..look at a lower optioned truck, not the chrome festooned "platinum" edition..it looks like the same truck, with the Super Duty style front fascia and a different tailgate.
  10. Sorry, but I don't see the difference. Ford is NOT calling the '09 F150, "refreshed", or "restyled". They are calling it the "all new" 2009 F150, something it clearly is NOT. They called the Freestar "all new", something it, clearly, was NOT. Again, the "all new" Freestar, that looked like a Windstar, flopped, so why would the "all new" F150, that looks like a 2004 with an upside down Super Duty fascia and JC Whitney shiny bits, do any better?
  11. 7/96 @ MTP Man 'o man do I hope MTP puts on a 2nd shift, I wanna come back.
  12. I dig my Panther..2008 Grand Marquis LS Premium..sweet driving car. I actually bought one NEW, not used.
  13. That Ram is a sharp looking truck....the F150 refresh looks cobbled together, tacked on new front fascia on the '04 body. Glad I have enough seniority to hang on after DTP loses a shift. Before anyone flames me....remember how people said the Freestar was all new, pointed out all the individual changes, yet the thing looked like a Windstar? What happened to it? The F150 looks like a facelifted '04.
