If I was the CEO I would tell them they are free to quit any time they wish.

Well, you ain't. So STFU, Willis!

I thought it was a pretty boneheaded move when Ford decided to quit making cars except Mustangs and then coming out with that SUV they called a Mustang. I'm surprised Ford didn't bow down and cave in on this nonsense.

Totally stupid to dilute the Mustang brand with a mini-van. But they can bring back passenger cars any time, most of those (Focus, Fiesta, Fusion) were built in Mexico or Europe anyway, on international platforms. US consumers just stopped buying them, I guess Soccer Mom thought it was safer have a heavier vehicle to run red lights and T-bone oncoming traffic.

Glad to see they didn't get on their knees for the Stop Arresting Criminals crowd. Very surprising since it looks like they hooked back up with Ford Foundation. The Deuce basically told that bunch to F*** Off in 1976 or so.

And WTF is up with Glenn Beck (The Blaze) using a gay phrase like "clapped back"?

Mustang brand

My sister had a 68 Mustang. Her boyfriend at the time helped her soup it up.

She was drag racing it and won some prizes, but I do not recall what the prizes were. :-/

Yugo was another brain(dead)-child of Malcolm Bricklin, the same guy that thought the Subaru 360 would sell in The States, but eventually found it was cheaper to scuttle the cargo ships in the middle of the Pacific rather than pay longshoremen to offload the little death traps.

Yugos were essentially FIAT 128's licensed to be built in Yugoslavia. The FIAT wasn't entirely horrible, it was possible to get 10-12,000 miles out of one with meticulous maintenance, but it seems the Serbs neglected to translate the factory training films from Italian before commencing local production.

Gotta love any car that lists "seats" as a standard feature. ;)

That was a big mistake. The Slavic Serb language was a lot different than Italian. :-/
