Steve (VRM), I'm sure you were attempting to make a valid point in responding to me, but for the life of me...I really don't see it.
Me thinks there's is a bit of a difference in helping the production of a car (built on a Falcon...wowey wow...and I have a 65) for the masses that really is a POS without some help (at least it can be helped...K-cars simply need to be buried in a landfill) and running to the government for bail out loans and seeking wage give backs from union workers in exchange for letting the union put some folks on the board of directors and then taking a sh!tload of money in salaries and bonuses and then leaving so you can fail at developing a new bike and then go around being cranky while speaking at corporate retreats and writing books and never puttting your ass on the line and running for office and then sitting back and acting like you knew all along what was going on and in the meantime the POS bailed out car company has been sold to foreign interests, not once but twice now, which is something you thought you could prevent and while you were in charge the POS company was starting to crumble anyway and actually led the big three in moving jobs out of the phuking country and please....in a matchup of an SSR and a K-car, mini-van, Horizon, etc., I would take the SSR in a heartbeat, and, maybe, just maybe...someone ought to pay attention to those stone tablets and remember that item about kissing the ass of false gods that rely on glitter versus substance in good times and bad.
BTW, the basturd got fired...Ford is still an American company.
Really...your point is simply a non-starter. We don't owe that freeking car salesman a damn thing, let alone respect.
But that's just my humble opinion.
