[Spridgets] 97 Mercury Sable, no LBC But a car question

[Larry Daniels]

All true, Frank.  I'm sure you recall, though, the side mounted gas tanks on 
their pickups that exploded in a fiery ball on impact.

Golly, it seems that the Chinese took lessons from us on how to build crap 
products.

It's still hard, though, to not have evil thoughts about Ford when they 
decided it was cheaper to burn more people into crispy critters than it 
would be to fix their g-damn trucks.  And I never even lost anybody to their 
effing accountants.

I do remember the days of explosive hazard warnings on Pintos' rear end.  It 
seems we had a better sense of humor about it back then, didn't we?

So, who do we trust now?  GM sucks.  Ford sucks and Chrysler has always 
sucked.  Anybody have a Rambler for sale?  That cool looking Studebaker that 
Ron, Jeff and Don will be driving is getting even better looking.

That was exploding Pintos with self destructing Firestone 500 tires.
Then it was roll over Exploders, I mean Explorers because of self
destructing Firestone tires.
Hmmm, Unintended accelerating Toyotas seems like a much better choice ;)
Hey I own a Ford (and now a Merc) but it beats owning anything GM makes
as I watch my neighbor fix his door hinge pin AGAIN on his GM product.
Same problem they have had with doors drooping since 1967.
