that is why I think the guy he mention bought it with the tax break as an excuse if he didn't need it. That or he is a poor businessman who will soon be parted with his money.

I got bored after reading a few posts, didn't hear anything about the Mark VIII with the 4.6 that get's close to 30 on the highway. Also had a Crown Vic with the 5.0 Police engine, dual exhaust really fast for a production vehicle, rode her hard and she kept giving,,,

Don't forget that Chrysler was once bailed out,,, and they had a GREAT "K" car, so reliable they named it reliant,,, 30MPG easy on the highway,,, and that was in the 80's

Meanwhile GM and Ford made and sold what the public wanted, big gas guzzling safe vehicles, believe me, if Ford could make a car that they couldn't keep in their dealers lot, they'd be working overtime pumping them out,,, but the fact of the matter is the US economy is so screwed up that I don't think the Gov't will be able to bail out a car company should one go under,,, to much prinitng money for the war effort :mad:

I'm willing to bet that one of the "Big 3" ( or a division of one) will go under just to get out of paying retiree's medical. Re-organize in a union free shop paying 3rd world wages, and getting away with it because there will be so many people unemployed. They'll get away with this because the gov't will cave in just to keep a few plants open.

Haven't been spending too much time in this forum lately,,, got the gold bug and chatting alot at kitco's gold forum.

So? Sorry that the gravy train ride is over. They squeezed the company when things were good and now they get upset when things are tough and there is no more to give? Besides why should we get the govt involved in the collapse? To screw it up further?

That is genuinely funny! :D:)

Wow the K car! They make my VW look like a good car!

All this talk of American cars reminds me of why I will never own one.:D
