No need to be so testy. If you don't know, simply say so.

This Ford Bashing is getting so old and it is beginning to sound like the lefties on the war. With that said are you with Ford's survival or against it?
Go to a dealership and test drive them.
Why do I need to test drive them when I own a Ford right now which will be my last. I have a 2003 F-150 Supercrew and the entire Fuel Injection system went out a 42,000 miles. The 2004 to 2007 F-150's look very 90ish compared to their competitors. I live in Texas (if you can't tell by my screen name) and the Ford dealer down the street from my office used to have a lot full of vehicles. Now(past year or so) it's about 3/4 full of a constant basis which tell me that I am not the only one that is not buying Ford.
My prior vehicle was a 1996 Honda Accord and at 84,000 miles an oil gasket cracked. A few months later it became a recall issue and I got a letter in the mail asking if I had a problem to send them all of the receipts involved with the repair and they sent me a check for the total cost of the repair plus towing. I kept that vehicle until 140,000 miles with no problems.
I will not buy another Ford until they show me they are in for the long haul in fixing their problems. GM, on the other hand, seems to be on the right track and I might buy a truck from them in the near future.

"During the recent elections, Ford pointed their employees to a radical left wing online voter guide for information on how to vote."
I can unequivocally state that this is a flat out lie. In no way did Ford Motor Company point their employees to any voter guide.

Did you post earlier this month about your good luck with Nissan Titans for a business?

"Did you post earlier this month about your good luck with Nissan Titans for a business?"
No, but I do recall someone that did post something to that effect. Along those line I do see a few more Titans used as fleet vehicle around here in what is a solid Ford/GM stronghold. I am very curious how Toyota with the new Tundra being built here in Texas will do too. I've read that Toyota has really tried hard to market the fleet buyers with a W/T version of the Tundra.

They have provided a link. I posted the AFA page at #106. If that link doesn't work, then go to the page itself. I believe it is http://www.boycottford.com

I would have been on that distribution list and I never received that e-mail. I am very doubtful as to its origin. Keep in mind that I am not stating anything directed at you, I am only letting you know my own, direct knowledge regarding that e-mail.

I followed the links and they went to a "progressive" political site that does indeed call "same sex" issues "marriage discrimination."
As you point out, I did not write the AFA page.

I bought an 04 ford deisel dump truck.(brand new) I was always a GMC/Chevy kind of guy. My distant cousin works at a Ford dealership in Brewster NY. He said he would take of me.
Well, it was the biggest vehicle mistake of my life. It was in the shop 7 times befor 16k miles. Including head gaskets, new tranny and fuel injectors. I finally bit the bullet and traded it in for a GMC.
I had every trip to the shop documented, every phone call documented. No one at Ford cared. Through all my phone calls, they would never let me talk or speak to a supervisor.
I wouldn't lose any sleep if they went belly up.
To: xzins
I'm not questioning that link, I'm simply questioning the validity of that e-mail originating at FoMoCo. I did not receive it and I would have been on that specific dist. list that the AFA references.
Just so you know, as of June 2006, the Ford benefits package no longer covered "same sex household partners" (or some similar wording.) So progress is being made.

You report good things. Why don't you send them to AFA?

Sadly, I had sent the benefits change to them. However, I never saw anything and I haven't received a response. That is what makes me a little dubious about their true intentions.

I talked to Wildmon once, on the phone at his house. I was surprised to get through. He was very gracious.
Both of us are Methodist elders; that might have made a difference.
It's been a decade, though.
