Today's cars? I've owned very few - the current Insight, and a Datsun pickup I bought for work a long time ago are the only two that come to mind - that weren't at least 10 years old when I bought them :-) No, wait: Back in the late '70s I was hit by an attack of buyamericanitus, and got a Chevy Vega. I think that car effected a permanent cure.
But the point I was trying to make still stands. People are going to keep buying cars, according to their tastes and as their financial situation allows. If Ford's not around, those sales and all their associated jobs aren't just going to disappear, they're going to go to other automakers.

Imagine the ramification of no Ford or Chevy in NASCAR ... believe me this is much larger than people think.

Imagine the ramifications of no NASCAR :-) The only effect on me would be a gradual disappearance of those puzzling "In Memory of..." white decals on rear windows.
