"The Ford quality has proven itself - 3 units bad in 10 years and 64k miles."

Reminded me of the combo switch in my big old '73 T-boat with about 40k at 
that time.  When I went to turn on the wipers one day, the switch fell to pieces 
behind the dash.  It came loose from its mount, shorted on something and 
started showering sparks down on my feet.  By the time I got pulled over and shut 
the power down, it had started a fire under the dash and I had to dive 
underneath and smother it out.  A pretty exciting 60 seconds.
