Ford really does mean Found on Road, Dead...


Ok...so most of you know my family and Fords go waaaaaaay back. My dad's pride and joy, a 69 Mach One Mustang, would surely have been traded for us kids after the '77 Johnstown Flood. So Fords and Us-es go way back. My first car, a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2. While not running into many problems, sans the CD player, it met an untimely end between two old steel-mobiles in Ocean City, MD.

Now, my new (2000) Focus ZTS is running into the graveyard. Some of the recent repairs include an AC upgrade, that lasted for 2 months, a new battery, wheel bearing replacements, and now the window regulator for the FOURTH time. Twice in the passenger rear, once in the driver rear, and now this time is the driver window. Currently, my car is parked in our garage since the window will not go up. That leaves our new Kia Sportage out in the hot hot hot Carolina sunshine.

Grrr...I hate Fords. It's sad that the American ingenuity of the 1900s-1970s has gone the way of the dodo. No wonder GM, Ford, Dodge, etc continue to lose market share to the foreigns. Made in the USA? Only if it's Usa, Korea. Blah on Ford!
