Verdict: If I had to buy tomorrow, I’d buy Ford. What fiscal conservative wouldn’t?

Hey… I was looking at Fords today, just to tweek the numbers a hair. He he…

Thats all the financial info you need to know.

This so-called “smaller, leaner company” still has major overhead, pension, manufacturing and brand issues – which all lead to a horrid balance sheet. BVeing smaller doesnt negate or make the issues go away – in fact, it compunds false hope over a dismal, though lengthy, slow corporate death.

And Bambi can keep handing out more bailout money – while never cutting out the “cancer” in the body of GM. All in all – bond ratings continue to dive, stock will continue getting killed and the useless GM exec’s and UAW “team” will cannibalize themselves to the death.

If Bambi thinks Americans are “deeply concerned” about a major company going bankrupt – I got a mortgage to pay…

2. Is it true that the new Chev will be named the Trabant?

No, the Obamobile.

He’s re-featured it on his own site, and it’s as prophetic as ever. Here comes the Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition!

I love my Jeep, but if I were buying tomorrow I’d also buy Ford, or go import.

1. Since Americans will be working to pay for this “purchase” through their taxes, will they receive the employee discount if they buy one of their products?

2. Is it true that the new Chev will be named the Trabant?

I’m afraid that in the future I may have no choice but to purchase (or be given) an unsafe, inefficient, unreliable, cult supporting(Mother Gaia), tiny and uncool vehicle.

Basically, I paid for a car that I never got from them. If they think I’d ever pay them again for another inferior product they can kiss my lily white a$$.

I’ll stick with my Mitsubishi for now. My previous two cars were Fords, and if I ever was going to buy another American-made vehicle, it would be a Ford. Not that they’re that great, but they deserve my support for standing on principle.

Too bad Saturn didn’t stay independent after they broke from GM. =/

Why buy a GM car now? You’re getting stuck with paying twice for a car. You’re forking over the tax dough we already (and will continue to give) GM, then your gonna lay down another 30-40K for a car?

I just wish they could get rid of the GM emblem… Just put his face on the emblem. Then it will feel good to go down the highway letting the bugs smack the front of the car.

LOL Reminds me of a joke someone sent me.

The Government created the O stamp but almost immediately started getting calls that the stamp wouldn’t stick to anything. So they spend $37 million studying the glue on the stamp to figure out why people were having a problem getting it to stick. Still nothing. Finally the government in desperation used one of those studies where they actually watch people perform actions to see what’s going wrong.

The report back to the government was: nothing at all wrong with the glue on the stamp. Users were spitting on the wrong side of the stamp.

Notice the flag is shredded at 0.29?

Theres a whole bunch of subtle crap in that propaganda piece.

Right before that, there is the picture of the hockey player knocked down..with the voice over stating something about no longer being able to compete..and the helping hand is coming from the opposing team.

The opposing team in my view, are the unions, the whining liberal victims club, and anti good business mandates from the liberal/leftie social engineers in the legislature…….but sadly enough, the biggest offender is the passive and gullible populace that let it happen under their noses.

How degrading really.

How is any of this Constitutional? A atupid pointless question I realize.

In my life (I’m 33) i’ve owned a
74 Ford Grenada
84 Chrysler LeBaron
93 Ford Thunderbird
98 Chevy Monte Carlo

I will never buy another GM or Chrysler car in my life.

If we had to buy tomorrow, we would buy Ford.

I drive Ford. I’m gonna get me a pic of him and put it on the front of my truck anyway. I like your thinking.

Exactly where I am. Never owned a foreign car. First a GM, then a Chrysler, and now I’m on my second Ford, purchased right after the bailouts began in earnest.

Their little experiments better start paying dividends soon.

As we all know that we’ll be getting lots of new regulations dictating the performance of cars that will severely hinder their safety and performance, I suggest that some brave car company look to the PC business and, instead of selling cars, sell the parts separately. You will not be buying a car. Instead, you will buy a chassis, an engine, a transmission, wheels, etc. Then, once you have bought these items, a separate, independent company (which you have conveniently partnered and integrated your website with) is brought in to assemble your creation. It may take a good deal of creative engineering to design components that can be so easily swapped around, and there will probably have to be some conceivable combination that would meet all the future requirements for legal purposes, but hopefully all the smart engineers haven’t already fled to greener pastures.
