Do you mean they *pay* for that stuff?
I've had good cars and bad. I really loved my 1980 Subaru, which I kept for 17 years. It was the best foul weather car ever. My 1974 Maverick ran rough from day one. Pieces fell off on a regular basis. The brakes were terrible and it handled like @#%!!!^^~. The engine wore out before it even got rusty. It had a 3-speed on the column and sometimes you had to hammer it into gear with your fist. It cured me of Fords forever. I bet Ford won't send me a check for those comments. Wierd as it seems, I'm still looking for a 1946 Ford Club Coupe like the one I had in college. Ford knew how to make cars in those days. I guess Henry was still in charge.
