It is apparent to me that many of the regulars here are very disappointed in the offerings that Ford has been bringing to market. The presence of "R" makes him like a lightning rod. All the complaints about the poorly-designed, half-baked products are directed at him, because he is the only person we know to complain to that is directly involved in product design.
This is the second time I can remember "R" going off on a rant and "talking down" to the ST owners on this board. It was nice of him to give us the little clues about the new ST when it was being developed, but his clues built us up for a huge let down when the product was finally delivered.
Some days, I really miss the days when Ford would not allow their folks to post here. I'm not saying "R" should go, but perhaps we all should keep in mind that "R" isn't solely responsible for what is brought to market, and perhaps "R" can be a little more understanding about why we are so disappointed in Ford's products. We care about Ford's success, otherwise we wouldn't even be here.
I've always said we don't need Ford to sponsor our meets. They dragged us to Dallas in '05 when most wanted to go to Louisville again. The meets are about the people and the trucks they own, not about sponsors and freebies. I doubt that "R" has any say in whether Ford sponsors any future events, but even if he did I don't think it would effect attendance.
