how cheap can ford get ?

[Thomas Rogers]

Ponderous that the chrome clad wheel discussion could turn into a union debate thread.



Who exactly turned this into yet a union thread anyway?

With chrome wheels the balancing weights should be clipped on the inner side of the wheel, if not use the stick-on types right?

Sure. My favorite is either Molson Canadian or Labatts Blue draft. Both are union made, therefore I buy them.

Since I'm boycotting Rolling Rock since AB bought it and closed the brewery here, I've begun to do my part to stem illegal immigration by drinking Corona. I figure each beer I drink increases the demand for labor in Mexico, encouraging more of them to stay there. Lime pickers are unionized, aren't they?

Ford historically is very good at what they make. Best selling small truck...Ranger. Best selling small car...Escort, Best selling full size truck...F-150, Best selling Full Size Van...Econoline, Best selling SUV...Explorer, as examples. Unfortunatly, in greed by Ford CEO's, they pushed all their priorities on high profit vehicles like the Explorer and F-150 and let the import car makers get the car sales. Once you allow your customers to visit other stores, you stand a chance to let your customers to sway their buying habits.

Right. A lot of what Ford is building is either old (Ranger, Econoline, Crown Vic) or bland (Freestyle, Freestar, Five Hundred) compared to what the imports and Chrysler are building.

Come up with something exciting and it will sell like hotcakes (Mustang).

RichardL,

I was just cutting him to the draw.

[Gavin Allan]

Those Chrome option wheels sure are FUGLY.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Gary, you know I would love to shake your hand. It is nice to disagree with someone and not be called names.



Sounds like you wife has a good job. She is on the right track...if only you would follow suit...

Thats why I bought aftermarket chrome rims.....

 

[gary s]

tom,

i would never stoop to that level as i am sure you would not either.

as i stated in the past , it would be nice to sit down over a few beers and b.s.

then we go outside and kick the crap out of each other !, lol

as far as following my wife, she hates the fact she has to be in a union, because there is no incentive to do anything extra as she is paid the same as her co-worker who calls in sick all the time and complains. but she still gives 110% , because thats the type of person she is.

going to run as i have to buy some more toyota's
