    general motors

    as you probably know by now general motors filed bankruptcy this morning.we the citizens of this country have infused 60,000,000,000 into this company so far to avoid bankruptcy.guess what,didnt help.the company was only worth 80,000,000,000 to begin with.this once great company is now government run.lets see how well your president and congress can run it.i have a bad feeling that we will be on the hook for much more.

    Everytime a goverment has taken over a car manufacture you get the worst, piece of junk cars ever. kinda like the Yugo
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    there is alot of exemptions with farming like f350 and duramax desils and 3500 dodges, becouse of the weight they dont follow under the same perameters as commuting vehicles do, I still have my customized f-150 on our farm insurance...

    it looks like you do not keep up with the news. They are meeting the same fate. So it might be nocar for you. hahahaha

    well all manufactures started going south when they made 40 differnt models that changed every 2-3 years making parts obsolete and expensive for minor repairs.

    they should be like the 60s - 80's

    1 truck line
    1 light truck line

    big car

    medium car

    little car

    not 20 truck lines

    10 light truck lines now bordering on fullsize trucks

    no big cars (whats the fat people going to drive?) im not driving a small car!

    50 medium sized cars

    5000 small cars

    and the sad part is most of those models are junk and barely held together

    not trying to say im baised but ford has had the best run

    1 truck line the f series

    rangers

    the panther platform (crown vic/towncars)

    medium cars taurus/ 500 now

    small escort/ focus now

    and just 2 sub lines mercury and lincoln, wich in all honesty merc needs to go!

    the f series still continues to outsell the rest

    the ranger is allright

    they were stupid to get rid of the panther platform

    dunno enough about the 500 platform but almost all the new fords run that platform now mercury and lincoln included

    the focus is the same

    When I trade trucks in about 3 years, I am going back to a Ford! The Chevrolet Colorado that I have is alright, but I miss my Ford Ranger, better gas mileage, better air conditioning and didnt need a head job every 50,000 miles like the colorados do.

    to be honest I love my ford truck it has almost 180k on it and it still runs like a champ.... even holds up to my driving wich I drive it like a indy car on crack! lol its been a great truck and if it breaks down now It wouldnt hurt my feelings to put a new motor in it or trans, hell if its held up this long to my abuse then why not? plus it gets wicked awesome gas mileage, hauls ass easily and just plain looks badass why change?
