I was following a POS Ford Escort not to long ago, I would say early
nineties vintage. Now I can't blame the fellow for maximizing his dollar
and the car looked to be in relatively good shape. Here's what killed me:
He had a bumper sticker that said "I work for Ford, I drive a Ford". I can
appreciate the sentiment itself, but he's driving a 15 year old Ford. In
addition, Ford was basically selling the car at a loss to maintain
volume and to keep a presence in the entry level car buyer market. So,
does this guy really think that he is somehow supporting the company by
driving the same car for 15 years, a car which Ford certainly lost money
on by selling it to him?
