Good Job Ford!!

 GMC blows

Great work ford.

I'm sure it had some positive finacial boost due to steering purchases away from GM and CRYsler when Ford said "thanks but no thanks" to Government bailout monies.  People had had enough of the big company Bail-Out gifts.  If in the new car buying market, I would have bought a Ford during this time period.  But then again (see sig line below) I like my super-duty.

Let's see now how Ford does over the next few years competing with the other two who have the recent luxury of paying down debt with interest free $mega-millions.

My Ford stock did good, before the clunker deal. Should have kept it,

Great work ford.

LMFAO!

TOYOTA..................If there's nuthin left to haul

I've got two and love them. Three years ago all my vehicles were Japanese. I do still have a Maxima, the nicest one to head out on the highway with with the family in tow. and of course my 02 Warrior.

Would those be american cars made in canada, mexico, china or japan? More of  My Toyota was made in the USA than your Chevy..lol.. That being said my next vehicle will be a Ford F250 diesel.. Ive always wanted a diesel big truck. Thats the only Reason. If I am buying american  it will be a FORD  and nothing else.. The Only american car company I will ever buy from.  Just for you Polititions..

A friend of mine made a good point. Cash for clunkers should have only applied to the purchase of American vehicles. Kill two birds with one stone.

I got the marketing for that one..

Americans buying American sh!t they can't afford.

  why not go all out and get that new f350 dually with the Harley Davidson trim package?    yeaaaaah boy., now we be talkin

Go Dodge,

Actually the front end of the wife's F-350 is just behind the Doodoo Dodge.  The Ford is a 2001 model with the 7.3 L turbo Weasel, 'er I mean Diesel, 4-door Super Duty Dually.  We bought it the same year I got my Warrior, back in '02 I got the Warrior and she got the truck, hers seems to have faired better, but she's not as rough on 'em as I was the Warrior.  That Dodge in the foto, we bought right after we got married, just to have a pick-up.  It's a slant-6 (Leaning Tower of Power) 4-speed with air, I have been all over the east coast in that truck from Florida all the way up to Boston and over as far as Wisconsin.  It's got more miles on it than all of my other vehicles combined and it still runs great, not much to look at but it is functional, it has sadly been regulated to garbage hauling duty now.
