It would be interesting to see the equation they use to calculate parts 
prices.  It would also be interesting to see what Ford originally paid for 
certain parts.  Maybe we need Federal regulations where a part cannot have a 
list price more than 5 times what it originally cost the car company.  I 
would guess that Ford paid $5 or $10 for a subwoofer, even in the small 
quantity that they bought.  Also need a law that requires them to make all 
parts available for 10 years after the vehicle is discontinued.
