Would someone from Lima please tell me how much does an Electrician make there?

Everyone is talking about how much everyone makes..... we could debate it till the end of time. How about a different approach, one that even the general public would agree on. How about the exec's make a reasonable salary and pass the savings on to the customers by lowering the price of their vehicles. Maybe we would sell even more cars, have more market share, more bragging rights and more important.... more people working in good paying jobs. Which would put more money back into our economy and restart this dying wheel of life. I just wish I could get all the greedy exec's in one room to hear this message. They are killing what makes our economy tick by taking money out of the loop and hording it. Just a thought

First off let me start by saying this.... Alan Mulally has done great work since coming to the helm at Ford Motor Co. He has done and excellent job of turning Ford around and back to profitability. But my problem is this.... I don't care how good of a job he or anyone else has done....NO ONE DESERVES THAT MUCH MONEY !!! Everyone in the Ford motor company had to work hard, together, at the same time to make this success story. EVERYONE DESERVES A PIECE OF THE PIE, but don't be a glutton at the same time. If anyone who gives a crap wants to know what is really wrong with this world and why there are so many problems in it... this greed of money is the biggest one. There are TOO MANY people taking more than they need in this world and that results in a lot of "HAVE NOTS." I have a sweet life and a decent job for a few more months anyway, but if we (society) want to really live in a better world, the f****** corp greed needs to stop.

Mine showed up at the dealership last Friday. I pick it up after work today. I test drove it on Monday. I have to agree with some of the comments on here about the turbo lag, but when does kick in it goes. They found a small scratch on the bottom of the back corner. I also had the dealer put a few extras on it. Rides and handles like a dream. It purrs so quiet you can barely here the engine run. Very quiet inside the cab, very little road noise. Thanks to the great bunch at DTP for building me such a good truck.

I am picking mine up after work today, I am really excited to see what this truck can do and how well it is on fuel.

Picking my new truck up after work today. Thanks again for the info Cyberdman.

I've heard skilled trades are working a lot of overtime. Something about cleaning out the old van lines in body? What are they preparing for? New models coming in? If would be nice to use this as a way to communicate with the brothers and sisters in ST Thomas, Windsor and Oakville. Trim please man...... weve heard all your stories old, new, future, forwards, backwards... inside out lol. Dude its time to get back to the real issues in the plant not the world news man. lol

Cyberdman, thanks again very much for the update. I look forward to driving it next week. Your a great guy providing feedback for us here on blueovalnews.com

Bump 1FTFX1ET5BFA53033 With the DTP down this week, I am assuming my truck is still somewhere on the line? I know here at STAP on down weeks they have had repairmen in to get the cars released to the yard.

Cyberdman, thanks again for the update. I am sorry if there were errors in the info provided. I was merely stating the info the salesman gave me. Have a great weekend I will follow up late next week.

Order Number B123, Dealer code B8187, VIN 1FTFX1ETB5FS53033 My current and only vehicle is dying on me faster than I thought it would. I hope I get my new one soon. Thank you for taking time to look up my order and for any info you can provide me as to when I might expect my new truck to be delivered.

Did anyone else catch this in Friday's Toronto Star?

I had to drop the size of the picture quality to post it. I can see it got the attention of a Mexican website http://embamex.sre.gob.mx/canada/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1181:ottawa-needs-to-go-on-offence-toronto-star&catid=136:viernes-10-septiembre-2010&Itemid=79
