Obama is being run by Bilderberg and Skull & Bones groups. You look at almost every one of his cabinet members.. Almost all of his cabinet members are lobbyists, part of the CFO, or the Bilderberg and/or Skull & Bones groups.

I was actually quotong from an old country song. In truth, though, the guideline used to be that for every $100 you spent on a vehicle, you were supposed to get 1000 miles out of it. That is no longer true, no matter how well you maintain it.  That's waaay overestimating.
I spent 25 dollars to get the oil and oil filter for my oil change every 3,000 miles.. That's about all I spend every 3,000. It's been almost 40K since I needed to replace anything on my Ford Aerostar. |

Ehh, personally, I don't like him. He's furthering a North American Union which he promised to put an end to. He promised to end income tax for seniors making less than $50,000, which he broke. Allow five days of public comment before signing bills, he broke that one a few times already. He never regulated NAFTA, which he was suppose to do. He spent billions in pork barrel spending, ALREADY. He promised to pull troops out of office in 6 months, then some of the troops in 12 months, then some of the troops in 18 months.. Then he send thousands more overseas. He's just peachy.

"...Wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years like they should..." None of them are nearly the product they are supposed to be. I've got a 1990 Aerostar (19).. My dad has a 1999 Taurus (10).. My mom has a 2001 Escape (8).. My brother has a 2000 Taurus (9) I really don't think It's the cars that are the problem.. It's a lot of the people driving them. How many people are having motor problems because they don't get their oil changed or have any basic matinence done? A lot. People just drive them, they don't care to keep up with them, especially the way the economy is.. They don't know how to work on them and they don't have the money to get them worked on. |

Ford was suppose to be selling off volvo as well. Most likely to the same place land rover and jaguar went to when they sold them. They made a mistake by selling off mazda. Mistake for them. Maybe now Mazda can bring back one of the baddest cars of all time - the RX-7 i WISH. Hah. I doubt It'd ever happen though. FYI, Mazda came up with the rx-7 with one of the head designers of ford. =p |

Funny thing is I always HATED fishing. My husband used to make me go even if all I did way sit in the sun or read a book. Now that he is gone I would give anything to go fish with him again. =\ Awwwwe. |

I can't personally see how Ford is doing better than the other manufacturers either, as they're the worst when it comes to bean-counting and cost-cutting at the expense of vehicle durability and customer satisfaction. I've had my 1999 Ranger since it was almost-new, and I've had nothing but problems with it, from power steering racks that would want to blow out at a minutes notice (I'm presently on my third one), cylinder heads that want to crack at a minute's notice, front disc brakes rotors that warp more than the Starship Enterprise, and rear leaf springs that wouldn't hold up on a donkey-pulled carriage. Basically put, you simply can't put passenger car components in a mid-sized truck, as you'll be spitting parts out every time. It's just too bad the bean-counters at Ford haven't figured any of that out yet. I had a 2000 ford ranger with no complaints till 185k. Rotors warp from being too hard on breaks. Any idiot that knows about cars/trucks know that. Cars break if you drive them into the ground. Just because It's a pick-up truck doesn't mean it can handle what an f-150 can. Besides that, if you think the ranger has "car components", hahahaha. Dana 40 leaf springs are NOT car components. The rangers don't even feel like a car when driving them. It's not a mid-size truck either. It's the smallest pick-up truck ford has come out with to date. The old f-100 or the f-150s are mid size. f-250/350s are full size. First off, the 3.0 L engine in the Ranger is lifted off of the Ford Taurus (which any "idiot" would know is a CAR), a Porsche design known as "Vulcan". The leaf springs were a carry-over from pre-IRS Crown Victorias (a CAR). About the only thing that WAS designed for the Ranger was the tranny, and Ford couldn't even get THAT right, as they had to create a whole NEW design for their 4.0L motor. The brake rotors (a known flaw with Rangers- just check the vehicle service report websites out there) are also a CAR design. Second off, The Ranger/Mazda B-Series, The Dodge Dakota, The Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy S-10 are MID-sized trucks. Check out any periodical or automotive website and you will be schooled. Third off, if you expect to be taken seriously, please refer from calling other people "idiots" when you clearly don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. You don't have to get a corn dog stuck up your ass because you probably bet the piss out of it. I had a Ranger for 185K with NO problems. No warped rotors. The 3.0 WAS lifted off the Taurus BUT I don't blame them for using the 3.0, It's a great motor. PLUS The 3.0 in the Rangers is geared differently for more tq.. Making it more suitable for trucks. Scratch that one off your list. I don't know about your ranger, but the one my father owned that i got, had stock leaf springs that were dana designed. Dana makes leaf springs for TRUCKS. Not cars. I would presume that one is based on model of the ranger. And it seems like you know a lot, so you should know why It's a different tranny in a 4.0 than in a 3.0. A transmission isn't a bolt on part. O.o Of course the ranger has its flaws, every vehicle does. How long they last all depends on how you drive it. http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Compact-Pickup-Trucks/ http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/news/ford/ranger/rip.html http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=29489 They all say compact pick-up, even the 3rd one that's a ford site. |

Ford was the only american car company that its ceos willingly took salary and retirement cuts. |
