It's too late for Ford's big shots to keep the product line fresh and competitive for anything outside the five product categories I mentioned earlier. The company simply doesn't have the time and money to do that.    Outside of those five categories, Ford has been a loser in one way or another for over 30 years due to management failures as you mentioned. At this point, quittin' is the only viable option and is exactly what Ford has done by exiting segments where they can't or won't win.  

Oh goodie, another Jeep that the owner is going to take the doors off to drive down to Walmart in to look cool...

Late to the party for deer stories, but have a couple.  I live out in the country, so lot of that goes on here (though we do prefer to use guns).  When I was younger, my brother was coming home and saw deer along the road so he stopped (I think he has hit a record number of deer over the years).  Sure enough, the two fawns (still had spots) ran right into the side of his truck and dented the bed.  He thought they were dead so he threw them in the back of the truck and came home.  We went out to take a look and the bastards jump out of his truck and start running around the front yard.  We're trying to catch them and take them back to where he hit but we never could catch them.  It was pretty funny watching us run around the yard trying to catch a couple fawns.  😄   My wife and I lived near St. Louis for a couple years after college, and we were headed to work one day (I was a consultant in a building about 2 blocks from her office) through a fairly rural suburb called Town and Country.  Out of the woods, a deer comes running straight for the road.  My wife was driving and slowed down, only to see the deer jump completely over the car in front of us.  This was about 1999, so before the huge SUV craze took over completely, so plenty of people still drove cars.  It cleared the car completely, didn't hit anything, and landed on the highway on the other side of the car, it's hooves skidding for traction, and took off.  Craziest deer happening I've ever seen!

oh yeah. I forget ELS exists. Kind of a derelict operation.

Growing up, there was a used car dealership in the east end of town that two-toned every car he sold...we called him Two-Tone Mickey....yes, not very original but then again, we were kids. 

From what I recall, it's mainly "Escanaba and lake Superior" (ELS) which hauls logs and pulpwood to sawmills in the U.P. and Wisconsin.  CN still hauls iron ore on occasion.     I lived in Iron Mountain back in the 70's.  Cool town.

Is that CN or LS&I territory?

After three Aviators it was time for a change lol. 

Chinese Territory is already being sold in RHD South Africa so wouldn’t take much to expand to Australia New Zealand Also Territory big brother the Equator shares many parts…   And as others have said, Maverick would be perfect as 2WD where Everest RWD version no longer fits under Aussie  emission limits   And then Theres Bronco sport.   Or maybe we hit the jackpot with slow selling Explorer and Capri EVs…..

Iron Mountain Michigan has a "no train horn zone" right in its downtown.
