You know the whole "GM vs Ford" thing. You either grow up a strict GM driver/Ford hater or vice-versa.
Yes, you can get disowned if you buy a Ford in a GM family. I've never understood it, but it's an unwritten law.
So, when we bought our Ford truck and then our Mercury (both used), we knew we were playing with fire. Both sides of our family are passionate GM people.
Ford is a four-letter word, after all.
However, we didn't buy them for the shock value, but just because we tested drove a bunch, and they were the best vehicles for the best price.
I never regretted it, really. But now I have even more of a reason to love my Fords.
Ford is saying NO to the bailout.
Now if anyone gives us wants to give us flak about owning Fords, I can hold my head up proudly, and say, "and how is that Obama-0-mobile treating ya?"
I plan on writing Ford, praising them for not taking Obama's sticky string cheese handout. And I will send a copy to GM as well. We should praise, and praise often, those companies, banks and states that will not take a bailout or stimulus money. To really show our support, we should BUY from these companies.
And buy "Made in USA" as often as possible. Look, we have the internet, there are more "made in USA" products than you realize. Seek them out whenever possible.
