Interesting video, who knows how true it all is.  But still interesting.

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Among other things, that poster with the hammer and sickle symbol and a Cadillac logo is just plain weird.

By and far the greatest threat to this country is it's own federal government's behavior... the current leaders can not be trusted.

When I bought my F250 in 2011, I didn't even bother to look at anything else. If they took Federal money, I didn't even consider them. I had a 1970 Dodge Challenger when I was in college, and was thinking about buying a new one, but I almost bought a 69 Mustang too; now might be the time for a new Mustang.
 
I predicted years ago, when the U.S. started borrowing money from China, that they would own us one day. Thanks to the Democraps, they did it a hell of alot faster than I thought.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Wow I wonder how many of those Nextteer American workers realize that they are employed by a nation that in the last 60 years has killed up to 78 million of its own people.

Well, if I were to buy an american car, it would be Ford, I suppose.  

Ford had the foresight to heavily leverage its business, just before everything went tits up.  Aside from that, the people I know who are involved at GM are basically saying that within GM it is "business as usual".  They did not learn their lesson.  Ford did change the way they do things.

All that having been said, in my family, between my parents, my brother and I we own eight cars:  five Toyotas, one Lexus, one Honda and one Ford (my brother just bought an F-150).

When I was looking for a car earlier this spring, I was looking for a rather specific vehicle and Ford did not make anything that would fit my preferences, so I bough a Toyota FJ Cruiser.  Couldn't be happier with it.
