I admit to being a bit of a 'Ford guy', having grown up loving racing and in the 60's, when Ford and Shelby were joining forces and beating the world; I still think the original GT40 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. But these days it really does seem to me that FoMoCo has their act pretty well together. Truly innovative advances, real products instead of delayed promises, not having to take government handouts. Pretty impressive to me, considering it's the same company that gave us the Mustang II. But like I said, I'm a bit biased.

I hope that's all it is. It just seems more like an inept shot at getting attention from "upper" echelon, i.e. Gov't.

Any time someone does something that draws attention to themselves, the question "why" will always come to light. And there will always be that guy defending it to the end days.
