I promise you, you’re not missing out on anything… not a God**** thing. Ford quality control is out of control… and my firsthand experience bears that out. I scoured the earth for a Mav hybrid last January, found one, pinched myself, and owned it for 4 days before it started to try to self-immolate.

Wanted a Bronco = FORD TAKE MY MONEY.

Maybe the problem isn’t having too many engineers, but having too many executives with unrealistic ideas about their ability to predict the future.

It is also a good job that provides me with enough money to buy things like snow tires. None of those things are true for the dude…

There was an article about a Saudi alfalfa farm out in the Southwest draining all the groundwater so they could grow food for their cows in Saudi.

The damage this does runs into the billions. The salt leaches into reinforced concrete and corrodes the rebar leading to the permanent damage to bridges and other structures. It destroys concrete and roadways. And as well- known? Is also dramatically shortens the lives of the millions of vehicles in the region. I am…
