The amazing thing here - painting the factory makes it so much more pleasant, but there can be a significant cost hit - if it was unpainted before and you paint it now, that is considered a capital investment and upgrade, and you have to depreciate the cost of painting... so you have the $ outlay but you get to write…

In Soviet Russia, slower traffic passes you?

To be fair:

Your problem : You didn't have a 1928 Model A:

Sorry I missed this so I wasn't able to suggest this one:

In 1992, Hector Quevedo Abarzua and his son Hugo Quevedo Liberona decided to live out Hector (the elder)'s lifelong dream of seeing the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. With $5 in their pockets, they left Punta Arenas, Chile, on October 12, 1992 and started…

Yes, they did. 2008/2009 you could get a Focus for next to nothing. We had a few local dealers that loaded up on Focus S and SE models and were running ludicrous discounts thanks to nonexistent sales. The standard asking prices were $7999 for a manual transmission S, $8999 for one with an S w/AT or an SE…

I'm sure you're right that it does affect perception.

Data over at truedelta seems to show that the idea that they "ate clutch packs, universally" is a pretty extreme exaggeration. They were experiencing too high of a problem rate for the 2012s, but the data shows a dramatic dropoff of problems for 2013. Overall, the 2012s come out as a hair above average for…

Yeah, but when they were selling these for under $10k brand new, there wasn't much room for complaint.

Neutral: Mulally for VA?

I'd argue that the biggest impact he had at Ford was solely in turning its culture around.

Kummer's official title is manager of vehicle integration, and to him it is "the coolest job in product development." But he's a sort of doctor of Ford's DNA. He and his global team test vehicles on a variety of points, including driving dynamics, performance feel, seat comfort, powertrain sound and steering wheel…

Mazda5.

If only the dollar had actually significantly devalued since 2008.

Ford's teaming up with Heinz to see if they can use parts of the common tomato to make parts for the common Ford.http://www.freep.com/article/201406...

Yeah... Springfield is definitely not Chicago. In good ways and bad. Could have been worse, though - they could have moved you to to the capitol of Missouri.

Healey, is that you?

You really want to stick with your ludicrous false analogy? Be my guest. You clearly have no idea how a 4 year old's mind functions, which is odd considering that you're showing about the same level of intelligence.

The only dumbass here is you, buddy. Next time those kids see that gun, they're going to remember how they were allowed to handle it - sideways, paying no attention to what might be in that direction, with fingers right there by the trigger. The kids are too damned young to understand that the bolt may be out of the…

And AGAIN - the ADULT understands this. The kids are TOO DAMNED YOUNG TO.
