Foed pissed me off when they donated to the homosexual agenda.
Then they got back in to my good graces by saying screw you to obamma and his govt car maker take over.
GO FORD.
GM and Chrysler can go fish.
As for a foreign carmaker?
I am an AMERICAN.

"They had better knock it off or it’ll be Ford in the Toyota seat"

Or like Chase, Ford will be charged billions of dollars in fees to pay for the govt bailout of GM and Chrysler.

My 2001 Lincoln LS 5-speed was the BEST car I ever owned.

The private hands GM and Chrysler will end up in are those of the UAW. No one else need apply.

I’ve been on the sidelines waiting to buy a Ford. Definitely sometime this year.

Foed pissed me off when they donated to the homosexual agenda.

They ditched the homos a couple years ago and AFA ended the boycott.

Wamu was given to Chase for like three cents on the dollar. Like Ford knows, nuttin's fer free. There are a number of shareholder suits against Chase and the feds for insider and SEC violations on their aquisition of Wamu.

I'm not sure because it happened so fast and on so many fronts, but some real big movers called in some really big favors from June, 2008 thru January 2009.

The few graduates from universities who can actually read and write will spend the better part of twenty years sorting thru it all.

Looks like the polls were correct.

“Only 42% of those who currently own a General Motors car are even somewhat likely to buy a GM product for their next car.”

Bad timing: GM recalls 1.3 million cars

[Joe Boucher]

Yep.
And if I need buy another vehicle it will be Ford. not a foreign job of a gub mint motors vehicle.

[beckysueb]

Better watch out, Ford. The thugacracy will have you in the crosshairs before long.

[beckysueb]

We have a Ford Explorer, a Ford F150 truck and a Ford F150 King Cab. Love all 3 of them.

[beckysueb]

I almost forgot the Crown Victoria. Thats 4 Ford vehicles.

I would not be caught dead in a Government Motors car.
