Really didn't intend to spark a debate. Just thought it was funny...

They are all very nice trucks. I'd buy the Dodg...er, i mean Ram just for the looks alone.

I was always told that Ford sued the US for smoking its german plant during WWII...don't know how true that is. Not to mention all the rumors of antisemitism from Ford. Then there was all the underhanded stuff involving the vehicle we've come to know as a "jeep" today. John Force' Funny car Mustang (back before he was forced to Chevy again) proudly proclaimed "Boss" on the valve covers while ford produced much documation about how they were so clever in developing this engine. Except...it is, like all fuel engines, a direct derivative of the Chrysler 2G Hemi that Ford had little to do with. Then there was the Triton cylinder head debacle, wherein the plugs wouldn't stay in the head until ford "fixed" this by making the plugs impossible to remove. Understandable, since plugs and cylinder heads had only been around for...i dunno...100 YEARS at that point! Not to mention that i find Dennis leary very annoying.

Again, very nice stuff they are turning out...but due to the above, i doubt I'll ever be much of a Ford fan, and if i really needed to pull stuff, I'd go for a Cummins and know what its like to be what powerstrokes dream of being.

Yeah.. I may trade the f150 in this year and get her an suv. We’ll see how the year goes. The anemic Chevy 5.3 is fine for whatbit is but I think I’ll step up to something bigger. I sure like the look of the f250 but we’ll see what happens between now and then in the truck world.

I love the look of the f250.. and the new 1500 rams....but for a work truck I’ll find something used with low miles. Whatever it might be.

Watching a young Nicky Hayden in a very exciting race...

I very clearly remember watching this live. Doesn't seem like it was 16 years ago.

I recall during the market crash that Ford was the only US auto company that didn't take the government bailout.

That is true. Chrysler paid back the complete loan and GM took money and ran.

We lost a lot of money. I bet I couldn't fly to DC in a corporate jet and get billions of dollars for a bail out. Then they got a gov. subsidized "cash for clunker" program that drove everyone to buy new cars and totally screwed the used car dealers. 2b88afcb367d486713a817874e187229

Me and 2 other guys just started a used car dealership then cash for clunkers happened. Perfect used cars that we could get wholesale for under 10k was no longer. We could sell a $4000 used car or van all day that we picked up for around $1500. Cash for clunkers made it impossible to deal. Luckily it was just a side deal and not a full time job.
