I remember how the Japanese cars were laughed at in the 70's.

I didn't realize that we had that many. Lol!

Well, we all know what a bear does in the woods.

What hurts even more is that 104 brothers and sisters got laid off today!

No, he heard it from the voices in my head! Does he speak Greek?

That's strange, seeming the vote was at the Convention Centre. What was happening at Copps?

Oh Gawd! Now you went and dunnit! Now we gotta hear why it's better that he stays and works instead of leaving and taking his pension.

As the title says, I just picked up my new 4x4 F150 and I love it! It's a silver XLT supercab w/ 6.5' box. I've received a lot of compliments on it. It rides smooth and quiet, much better than I was expecting. As for gas milage, I took the 5.4L 3V engine and I am finding that it does as good if not better than the Ranger with the 3.0L that I used to have! The interior fit and finish is great. Job well done brothers and sisters, job well done! GreyPony

In six feet of snow! :tease:

Really? Well, tell you what Mr.Fujisaki, when we can start selling vehicles in Japan, we'll talk. K?

Not trying to stir the pot here, "even if I usually do" but, in comparaison, wouldn't everybody be better off with an E150 with benches than a minivan? It is BOF and not Unibody. It has rear wheel drive. It has more space than you can shake a stick at. Like the Panther, you will get a shitload of miles out of it. What about cell phones? Remember the brick that Motorolla used to sell? Why don't they sell those anymore? The reception was great. Okay, you couldn't use it near Gramps with his pacemaker, big deal! It was solid as a rock. McGyver could probably jump start a '74 LTD with the battery in that puppy! A while back I was at my dealer with my son looking at F150's. There was ONE Grand Marquis in the yard gathering dust, I looked at him and said "How about this one?". That is when I got the look and he replied, "You're not a old grampa yet dad!". That stigma is stuck on the vehicle, and Ford knows it. Ford will continue to sell it as long as it will make a profit. I am sure that the powers that be know what the majority of buyers want and that the investment is not worth it to try and keep the vehicle alive. Ford is going to a new image, one of the 21st century and in general, it seems to be working. Anybody remember the Simpsons when Homer designed a new car? Maybe it's time to let the old lady go and slip into the deep.

Funny you ask that. Yesterday a buddy of mine took a snap shot with his phone of one on a transport, asking me what vehicle this was.

Wow! He has a secret identity! We have our own superhero! Does he fly? Does he have a mask? Does he have a cape? A Superhero has to have a cape.

Let's see, Taurus, that's going to Chicago. The Explorer, that's going to Chicago too. And Chicago has the capacity to do it.

Exactly! How do you think the imports learned how to copy and/or improve on what we sell? Not just with cars, with everything. The Chinese are doing it right now, it's called reverse engineering. At least Mr. M. isn't just sitting back and sleeping in board meetings.
