"They had better knock it off or it’ll be Ford in the Toyota seat"

Or like Chase, Ford will be charged billions of dollars in fees to pay for the govt bailout of GM and Chrysler.

The private hands GM and Chrysler will end up in are those of the UAW. No one else need apply.

They ditched the homos a couple years ago and AFA ended the boycott.

Wamu was given to Chase for like three cents on the dollar. Like Ford knows, nuttin's fer free. There are a number of shareholder suits against Chase and the feds for insider and SEC violations on their aquisition of Wamu.

I'm not sure because it happened so fast and on so many fronts, but some real big movers called in some really big favors from June, 2008 thru January 2009.

The few graduates from universities who can actually read and write will spend the better part of twenty years sorting thru it all.

Looks like the polls were correct.

“Only 42% of those who currently own a General Motors car are even somewhat likely to buy a GM product for their next car.”

2010 Expedition here.

First Ford I have ever owned.

I would not be caught dead in a Government Motors car.
