> [@SideWinderGX](#): > > I looked up Ford’s quote before I posted it…a huge $1.8x. 🙂 Congratulations. You typed “F” into google, you are know well enough educated to debate about exactly how stable the company is. But wait, are you including preferred options? Also, how insulated is F vs NSANY? Can you tell me the cash reserves of each? Oh, and what is the net interest margin each company capitalizes? Hey, do you recall what the R&D budgets were gutted too for each company? You don’t know. Don’t project what you think or feel _ **as facts** _ into a grown up conversation. Especially considering that this conversation is intended to be about a specific car model - which compares to exactly ZERO NSANY products. I understand from previous threads & posts of yours that you’re still very young and ambitious with regard to getting a word in edgewise and appearing competent but a word of advice: “In God we trust. All others bring data” ---

Go drive your 15yo BMW and leave the $37k cars to those who can actually afford them. lol. i bought my beloved cackord for $300 3 years ago. have i put parts into it? yes. have they been normal wear/maintenance parts? def. has it happened often? not at all. i wish i could say the same about the domestics that were both newer, lower mileage, and with recepts from previous owners for replacements (a complete tranny replacement on my old taurus to the tune of $1600 was done on my g-wagon about 6 months before i bought it. it had already started slipping a bit before i sold it) :bloated: also, i would say MAYBE ~3% of the nyspeed population could afford a 37k car. me not being one of them, duh i deliver pizzas for a living. of the 3% how many would really look at this car as an option do you think? 1, maybe 2. > [@Mike93](#): > > You’re living in the past, man!

You’re views of domestics are based on experiences with vehicles from long ago, and it sounds like pieces of shit you’ve bought along the way with a budget of a few hundred dollars. Ford is not making the same product today as they did back then, so your analogy of coming back for seconds doesn’t hold up. Just because the prime rib served at a that restaurant hasn’t changed their name in forever doesn’t mean they have not been under new management, hired new chefs, sourced fresher meat…get it? Times change, things are improved, products get better. ---

Jam was never buying prime rib. He was buying the dollar menu at two different restaurants. Because the one was shitty, he thinks that implies the prime rib there must be as well. ---
