RE: Ford Motor Company - a handshake with the people
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There have been issues with new car sales for a while, IIRC. Gotta move inventory for new manufacturing. But the real economy has not been as good as people were saying under Biden, and this new Trump regime is not a healthy trend. Consumer debt is already overburdened.
In the era of megatrucks with diesels rolling coal, all I want is an old 1/2-ton RWD with a straight-6 and a clutch nowadays. Dodge, Ford, Chevy, it wouldn't much matter, but I do have an affinity for the Chrysler slant-6. A Ford with a Windsor V8 might make me think outside that I6 idea though.

You have no idea how much you revealed with this opinion. hahahaha.
Well, I'll tell you. I like simple. I prefer simple. For years I had an old GMC Sierra 99, I think and ran that thing to the ground. Loved it. Worked on it myself. Sold it working and everything when I left Arizona.
These days I drive a Russian Lada Niva. A little tank. It will destroy your back (so I changed the seats), but I can service it myself without specialized tooling. Its not fast, not even a little bit. But, its like a little tractor. I've pulled fancy Toyotas from the mud a few times with it, and it laughed all the way. The little tank is 30 years old and I reckon I'm going to get ten more years out of it.
