UNIONS.

I read an estimate that unions have COST the average worker about 15% in wages because of their drag on the economy.

I hate hearing stories like that about Ford vehicles. My 1994 Explorer now has about 325,000 miles on it, and when I had some maintenance work done on it a few months ago the mechanic told me everyone in his shop insisted on taking it out for a “test/diagnostic drive” because nobody could believe how well it ran!

I hear ya. I've always driven Fords -- mostly trucks, though. I do know their cars aren't quite as reliable as their trucks are (overall).

When it comes to light trucks, nothing beats a Ford!
