I realize you’re a mechanic that works for Ford, right? Let’s just agree to disagree. I do associate GM & Chrysler w/ Obama, a govt bailout & socialism. Ford is the official truck of the NFL. As a veteran, patriot & conservative I refuse to support anyone who supports the NFL.
I really liked Ford vehicles. I was pretty pissed when they sponsored the NFL. I refuse to support them & it is what it is.
ETA: Don’t forget resale value.
I am a mechanic, did work for a Ford dealer for 25 years but that was by choice. The Ford roots go way back.
I said Toyota makes a good product. But your reason for buying makes no sense, based on what the Japanese did to the USA.
Grandpa was a navy medic in the Pacific. You know the Marines dont have medics, they use navy medics. So when the Marines attacked an island he followed them. He just turned 92, and when he dies a shit ton of history will be lost and forgotten.
Grandpa started buying Fords in 1946. That is all he, his 4 children, most the grandkids (couple are fuck tards and drive any piece of shit that rolls)have owned. And now the great grand kids are driving Fords.
When I was dating my wife 30 years ago she had a chevy cavalier. I told her I would not get married until she had a Ford. After she got a Ford we set a date, and got married a year later.
As a family we have almost 9 million miles logged in ford vehicles since WWII.
After college I was supposed to go work at a GM dealer. It made me sick to my stomach and at the last minute I got an offer from a Ford dealer.
I dont support Ford because I worked there, i worked there because I supported the product.
I was rasied to have honor and integrity, and working at a GM dealer but driving a Ford did not seem honorable.
Grandma used to say all the time, "anyone working for the government showing up to work in a Jap car should be fired."
I understand the world has changed, but that is just to damn bad.
You can drive what you want, but I am not going to be happy for you about it.
PS. I might be a Ford fan, but that does not mean every Ford deserves to be in my driveway. They have built some real shit at times. I also understand that the American auto makers brought a lot of it on themselves.
