BigDeal Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 What is the fleet bulletin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Focus built with 100% foreign content and assembled in China? Civic built with 87% domestic content and assembled in Ohio. 25% tariff on foreign made steel. I wonder if there`s going to be a tariff on foreign made cars, trucks and tractors? Buy American...? Or buy American Company Branded foreign products? Edited March 5, 2018 by Decker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post it for us? I am only aware of Cmax balancing out a week or two prior to the May 4th final Focus build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I speak from the drivers seat of Escort to ZX2 to Focus in a total of 6 units. My current is a 2015 Focus, 97K on the trip O meter. Over the last 15 years these units have been past on to college bound kids and on to the work force. One a 1999 was finally laid to rest with 301 K just last November. The current and two of the past are still in service one traveling over a hundred miles a day floating back and forth to CAP`s B crew, 292K. The other is kinda resting out in Cali waiting for the drives to all those silly weekend things my daughter attends.... (wine tasting not to silly ) 246K. Then my current Focus... after 11 returns and 3 extended stay`s with my Ford pit crew it is now running like one of the past units. 97K!!! I can still hear...Dad get cruse and an automatic and all the this and thats. Well I did, love the cruse, Sirius, Black Tuxedo and the engine is fantastic. The auto at first...not so much. To put it mildly it just plain sucked. But after 3 rental`s and 14 sitting in the pits I can say I finally got my favorite unit back. If the Chinese build the Focus like our brothers and sisters in Hermosillo built their units then, I`ll be pissing off the royalty in the solid house by purchasing a foreign Ford Focus. (5 speed ) MAP build`s great units, they like us are instructed to put the shitty stuff in sometimes.....

fuzzymoomoo Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I see 4 openings for the pilot plant,only MAP can apply. That went up Thursday.

Decker Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Come one.. come all... to the greatest show on earth.... If you want to make some money and can stand to work under the big top with all the circus clowns, head to CAP. In progression (I know another tier) members are pulling down 80K plus. There is never a dull moment, cause the drama is never ending. Oh I think we hit One Millionth Super Sundays this weekend... Get packed, grab the check and hit 94 west. But seriously... if you MAP`er do decide to come to CAP come for the money all the other stupid shit is the same as everywhere else. Well...maybe we have a little more stupid shit but the money is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
