  1. I wish they would bring back the minivan! My family loves it. It beats having to drive a big ole Econoline.
  2. Lucky them! Maybe they would hire my dad back ACH to expand, retain 600 jobs Published: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 No comments posted. | Email to a friend | Print version | ShareThis| RSS Feeds MARGARETTA TOWNSHIP — Automotive Components Holdings LLC will receive a state grant as part of a $16.2 million expansion to retain 600 jobs. The company, with its plant at 3020 Tiffin Ave., will get a $300,000 grant to buy machinery and equipment to expand at its Margaretta Township plant.

  3. There's three different plans at Delta for Dental. Do you know which one? Plan: Delta Dental Premier (formerly DeltaPremier USA) Delta Dental PPO (formerly DeltaPreferred Option USA) DeltaCare USA My dentist is only listed under the first one.
  4. SVS was what they had to use when still working. I hate them. Messed up three times.
  5. This was TOP of the news on ABC World News tonight!! Loved it! Finally! Says it's doing to take until April to start repairs! LOL! 5 months! I say drop the Toyota now and go by a new safer vehicle!
  6. Rejection of the deal isn't likely to place Ford at an immediate cost disadvantage to its crosstown rivals because savings from the concessions are longer-term, said Gary Chaison, a professor of labor relations at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. Neither the company nor the UAW has released any cost savings numbers. The third-quarter profit makes it extremely unlikely that the company will push to head back to the bargaining table before the current UAW contract expires in the fall of 2011, and union leaders also are unlikely to take another deal to the membership, Chaison said. "I think the company has no credibility asking for concessions now, and I think the leadership is quite embarrased for making a case for concessions," he said. Chaison said Ford could make some noise about moving new vehicle production to Canada, where unionized workers on Sunday approved a package of concessions, but it's more likely that Ford will live with the current contract until 2011. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091102/ap_on_...e/us_earns_ford
  7. GM is Ford's competition is it not? I just read an article from Oct. 2008 that says $75,000???
  8. I don't remember the # for when you get transferred to a new plant. My neighbor is going from the Mansfield GM plant to Parma, but NOT moving. He still gets the money though..kinda dumb.
  9. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091021/ap_on_...us_auto_bailout
  10. Did I miss it? I did not see anything in that letter about Dental/Vision.
  11. UGGH! They did not need that! My Windstar fits this recall. Not my other two vehicles though.
  12. How do you know that is in the new contract?? I know that was a possibility, but until I see it I don't believe it.
  13. I don't see anything about retirees?? I'd like to know about that too! Freeze wages..blech!
  14. Fox News is banned in my house HATE them.
  15. :happy feet: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33192916/ns/bu...he_drivers_seat
  16. I just posted this article on facebook with this: Oh how the mighty have fallen Continue their downfall by buying American automobiles! Ford, GM & Chrysler.
  17. It's a little more complicated than that for us. I use a wheelchair for walking long distances. I sit in a regular seat while traveling. The Windstar is perfect and we are completely bumbed they are no longer making it. The Econoline is way too big. We just wanted to try it out to see if it would work or if we need to really "baby" the Windstar to keep it on the road for a lot longer.
  18. We are looking to rent a Flex, but am having trouble finding one. We want to try it out before we decide to get rid of our Windstar.
  19. They are moving five lines into the Sandusky plant. One of them being a Fusion line from Mexico. The scrap down there (not surprised) is above 80% so they are moving it to be more efficient.
  20. I posted this on my facebook page..spread the word! :happy feet:
  21. 200 were just sent out the door today at Avon.
