Am I the only one who is happy that Ford seems to be weathering this financial storm better than Brand X and Brand Y? I was also interested to see an article on the internet that said sales of the F150 were down due to the downturn in the home building market (contractors like these vehicles, it seems) and that they expect sales to pick up if the housing market ever recovers.
But, all this goes for naught if the Senators that are trying to block assistance to the Big 3 have their way. In part, it seems these Southern gentlemen of the Republican persuasion have a big interest in seeing some foreign owned car makers, who have plants in their states, succeed. Is this truly what it means to be "patriotic", or "American"?
These guys clearly don't have the "big picture" in mind. Bailout Wall Street, pump more billions into Iraq to support Halliburton, but forget the "working American" (as long as he's not "Southern").
We Ford owners DO have a voice! You might consider letting your Congressman hear from you.
OK, now I can get off my
