Driver returns on foot
The only Fords I’m interested in still are the F series trucks and the Mustangs.

The first sign of the Obama Economic Implosion has appeared, and just as the Bush market on housing imploded, which was the catalyst for the derivatives market, the market for the rich was the art bubble (and) has burst.
This does not mean a bust will appear this month. The illusion of the Obama economy of rapine must be kept propped up, so Hillary Clinton is not completely wiped out in the November elections, but the real economic sign is there.
The reality is the Obama regime has been dumping money to stocks to inflate them in the last gasp, but the conglomerates are not sharing, but in knowing what is coming, are now hording all of that cash ...... or like Ford, sending all of their manufacturing to Mexico, so when Hillary Clinton's nuclear war starts, Ford will not have it's plants vaporized, as Mexico is a safe zone.
Yes that is what Mexico and South America are. Corporate safe zones where Ford does not give a damn about their puppets starting nuclear war in this world and American cities bombed, because they have plants in "neutral" nations and will continue to make billions in war, and they have their get-aways in Paraguay while Americans and Europeans rot in nuclear decay.
Just thought it would be good to keep in mind, that the money flow has stopped at the top and now it is only a matter of time before the economic crush occurs.
Logic now points to next year at latest, which will then have a terror event of large stakes to drive America into the Great Eurasian War so all of this Obama looting for the elite will be hidden in "war debt" where the cartel loots China and Russian gold reserves to balance things out again.
I made the same promise 40 years ago. No loss to me.
Bingo!
You just hit on the crux of the problem.
Ford is moving small vehicle production to Mexico.
This is because they lose money on every small car they make in the US.
Trucks, Mustangs and SUVs are still profitable.
The assembly plant that used to make the small cars
is being switched over to SUV production.
You can read about the move in this article from Fortune.
Very simply, the effect on US auto jobs is a wash.
There is no net loss of employment in the US due to this move.
Ford is simply taking the segment of its manufacturing
with the lowest margin (in this case negative) and putting
it where the production costs are also the lowest.
And none of this would be an issue at all if Congress was not
micro-managing the auto industry through CAFE standards,
which they have no Constitutional authority to do in the first place.
And yes - the Administration shares in the blame for this move.
If they were not hell bent on this stupid "Green Agenda"
there would be a gain in employment here in the US.
I meant to ping you on Post #45.
Yeah, mine were pretty good too - including a family of cars going back into the 1960’s.
What is the cost to ship cars...in contrast to making them where they are sold?
“The reality is the Obama regime has been dumping money to stocks to inflate them in the last gasp, but the conglomerates are not sharing, but in knowing what is coming, are now hording all of that cash ...... or like Ford, sending all of their manufacturing to Mexico, so when Hillary Clinton’s nuclear war starts, Ford will not have it’s plants vaporized, as Mexico is a safe zone. “

What is way over your head is day by day fare here.
Had you read Shibumi’s post 45 you should have gained a handle on this.

>> “... or like Ford, sending all of their manufacturing to Mexico, so when Hillary Clinton’s nuclear war starts, Ford will not have it’s plants vaporized, as Mexico is a safe zone.”
And you say “yep?”
That’s drivel!
Ford is not “sending all of their manufacturing to Mexico!”
They are sending the manufacturing of their least desired cars, the ones the gestapo demands that they market, to Mexico, to free-up space in their US plants to make the profitable cars and trucks that America says “with their wallets” that they want: F trucks and SUVs.

Wow! That must have been “exciting.” So glad that you were
able to survive that, and hope the repairs weren’t too
expensive.
We have a large F-150 Truck as well. We actually bought it
from the Ford dealer. $17,500 in cash, and we were out the
door.
My husband knows that my favorite color is any shade of
blue, and the truck is a beautiful dark blue with lots of
sparkles in it. It’s a great muscle truck, still doing well
in spite of the three - four nasty winters since we got it.
Sigh... In mothballs, we have a 1974 Trans Am, a 1973
Pinto, and some motorcycles, my GS1100, his Katana, and his
Dunstall Norton. We’re hoping to save up enough to build
another garage across the driveway from the attached-to-the-
house garage, so we can stop paying our former landlord
(before we bought this place) every month to keep care of
all our vehicles.
Thank you. My wifes truck (replaced her '09 Mustang GT when we moved to the mountains) was destroyed. I was alone at the time, last day of Jan. I was in PT/rehab until last month. Still working on the insurance settlement. We got a little newer f-150, it did save me.
