You'd think Ford would have learned a lesson from the 1973 oil embargo and 1979 oil crisis.

Oh STOP!
My Mach gets nearly 20 city and 30 highway.
Hardly a gas guzzler.
Some people
NEED a truck.
A real one. American.
We all know where the oil crisis in 79 originated, and why.
The main reason is people are under the fallacy that jap cars are better,
which they are most certainly not, and never have been.
I would never consider any vehicle but a Ford for anything.
Heck, years ago, I even bought a Philco TV, just because Ford owned it.
The unions had their place years ago, but they got greedy,
and now it's gonna cost them.
So all those people who bought a jap car instead of American,
thinking it doesn't make a difference have been proven wrong.
I do my Patriotic part.
I do not let in foreign car owners into traffic.
