I drove that year and that model!  After replacing the upper manifold gasket, and the A/C, it was a dream ride.

Too funny.

The irony is that Ford is actually doing very well right now, unlike Government Motors~2.

Stating rather clearly that this video is not timely because Ford is doing fairly well right now.  This should have made fun of a Chrysler product.

Shiksas are a traditional Chanukah gift?

Andy, you realize that shiksas is not hebrew for "my bike"?

I am not sure what you are talking about.

I was speaking of a traditionally decorated bush that some Jewish people use in lieu of a Christmas tree, being delivered by the traditional and always festive GS Christmas Elf.

You know they are doing gods work at that firm.

I thought you were joking about the Goldman Elf delivering female companionship for Chanukah, and assumed you were referring to shiksa bush given Woodie Allen's and Seinfeld's jokes about jews liking shiksas.

Mission accomplished, Lloyd.

Zero Hedge, thank you for the find. Gold star to the maker. You cannot buy comedy like this. All you can do is hope you have the sense to stumble across it. Excellent visual and audio.

Funny as heck

My favorite 1993 FORD has to be the Thunderbird Super Coupe. Nice coupe with a lots of power.

Detroit Auto Show sees increased interest from politicians and Washington insiders By Sheena Harrison | MLive.com November 14, 2009, 9:08AM

The North American International Auto Show has seen an increase in demand for show passes from politicians and Washington insiders -- so much so that the show has introduced a new credential policy for government officials.

The 2010 Detroit auto show opens to the press and politicians on Jan. 11, and opens to the public on Jan. 16. Doug Fox, chairman of the 2010 auto show, told the Detroit Free Press that new credentials were created for politicians this year because "requests for passes to the show are pouring in from members of Congress, the Department of Transportation and other agencies." Interest in attending the Detroit show appeared to increase after the Federal government's bailout of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group L.L.C. The Freep says the government has given more than in aid to the auto industry.

Sadly, all the 1993 Tauruses were destroyed by Cash4Clunkers.
