Good for Ford, they deserve it since they didn’t take the bailout and planned ahead for tough times. I believe they’ve gained alot of customers just for that.

Something tells me that Ford in the picture is not quite a 2010 model. (But I like Fords too.)

Good eye, Red Bunny. I tried to find a picture of my first car, a 1986 Taurus (in 1996). That’s a 1987, I believe.
