re
Ford can't hold Toyota's jockstrap.
what does that mean in normal language ?
One thing I've always thought about Ford ....
they are the American Car Company that I disrespect the least .
like of the 3 clumsy poor-product US companies..........Ford does the best
job of producing a lowish cost durable car , or "The Least-Bad Job" is
what I really mean.
And ........isn't this interesting.......
Ford is holding their own without government money.
They may still be loosing money , but it's their money, not ours or the gov.
And their products are looking pretty good actually I think........for
american stuff.
