She deserves it for putting up with me.
As I said I am a realist. Mostly.

Her car is getting unreliable. A Ford....

I have been talking with a dealer today. They want to bring a few by for me to try.
I need to transfer about 40K to checking...

Damn right Ford, keep the American spirit high!

Toyota problems don't lead to big auto sales lift for rivals - Mar. 2, 2010

They didn't need a bailout. If they did, they would have taken the money. All US Corps take tax payer money.

Wrong, Ford was in the same financial crisis as the other car companies. They just chose to do some restructuring in their company and maintain complete ownership. They are proof positive that the free market works better than the gov. Motivation seems to lack when you know somewhere is going to be there when you fail.

IMO, the other companies know/think there is more bailout $$ where that came from so why take steps to get it right. If you never take the training wheels off, what is the motivation to learn how to balance. Seems like pretty simple logic here.

Ford already had their crisis several years ago and did some smart moves.
They were better prepared for the recession as a result of this.

Their cars are still crap though.

american for anything but trucks is just stupid.

Somehow we would have managed without Obama nationalizing car companies.

Ford sure did.

I think Henry would be very proud of his company.

Way to go Ford.

Henry Ford HATED bankers. (He also hated Jews, but that's another rant)

Ford never borrowed a dime to advance his industry during his lifetime.

I am informed that the reason Ford was in better shape post the meltdown is that they'd just loaded up on debt bigtime before it happened.

Anybody know the particulars of that event?

I didn't know she smokes.
