Who cares.
Scott6 how do you feel about the new Subaru Foresters
Off he moves, there does business there. Read the American people will not buy anymore. Ford products whatsoever eaten kisses, company goodbye, because we're not gonna buy anything ford sucks.
As a former Lube tech at a dealer I've seen 25 year old Toyotas outlast Ford's modern plastic, it's pretty sad.
my hondas have had well over 300k and with no problems..id buy a honda before a toyota,especially rhe new ones...new toyotas quality has slipped.ive seen 3 newer toyotas with bad trannys.. like ,under 60k miles
@@richsweeney1115 I think Honda have nicer interiors than Toyota, generally.
Does Scotty want cars built in Mexico by Mexican’s or does he want Mexican’s building cars in the U.S?
I serviced my car at the local Garage three times in the last year. During two of those visits they had Relatively new Ford Pick-ups with Blown Motors.
@@gus892relatively you are a good story. So full of crap.💩
Before I retired I was a contractor working on auto plants in the Detroit area. In almost every plant, we had more autoworkers watching us work than the number of people on my crew.
When the government announced the $7000 tax refund incentive to buy an electric car, the electric car price went up $7000 so who really got the money?
Ukraine. Illegals.
When people see that on the bill breakdown, they need to say no.
Joe
They did they just up the taxes on polution Likley at the same time
The big guy gets his cut
It is not just Ford dealers who try to avoid paying for accidents they are responsible for. I dropped our Toyota Camry off for service at the Toyota dealership for service. When I came back to pick it up. I payed for the service, but did a walk around before I got in to drive away. The front bumper was smashed in on the drivers side. The plastic was cracked and the foam inside was mashed in. When I went back in and complained, they confessed a customer had run into it in their lot. They wound up fixing it, but would have left me drive off and then claim that I accepted the car, so it was my problem. Car dealers are as bad lawyers, politicians, fortune tellers, and insurance salesmen.
Are you serious?? They didn't even mention it to you??
very funny. sadly.
Mechanics, Developers, Contractors, bankers, etcetera. Is there anything left at all that hasn't been corrupted?
How true that reply is
True and it's to bad! I'm old enough to remember there was honest people to deal with!! Money and greed have ruined the world!!
Build them in Mexico for cheaper labor but I’m sure the prices won’t drop
Never does!
Yeah just bigger margins for them 😢
Inflation never goes back down.
@@rodbender6184 exactly, it just becomes the 'new norm'
Prices won’t drop, but quality sure will 😂 💩
I once bought a Ford Windstar new that had to be in the shop 12 times before it reached 60,000 miles, the final time for a warped head which they would not repair, the service manager said “ wow this has been in here a lot” when he looked up my repair history, followed by there’s nothing we can do for you. Swore off Fords, so good riddance to the whole brand.
We had a windstar growing up. Never had any problems.
That trash company will treat you as bad as possible if you are unfortunate enough to be stuck with vehicle they choose to discontinue. Absolutely zero product support. We're talking basics like suspension components & headlight bulbs.
Long running Ford family, no more.
Forget that company!
Yep. Feel the same way about GM. Paid 10k to keep a piece of crap van running. Bought Toyota ever since and haven’t had any lemons.
@@STEALTH1USA exactly why I was pissed off, 13 trips to the repair shop ending in a warped head, is not anywhere close to normal. Something was wrong with that particular vehicle, but it was to bad so sad 🤷♂️ screw em, I hope the whole company folds.
I would never buy a Ford.
All of the vehicle makers need to stop focusing on making vehicles that can drive themselves or come with all kinds of sensors that will go bad. Just make a decent dependable 13,000 dollar vehicle with a 4 cylinder in it. One car and one truck. Doesn't need to be anything special. Just like they do in other countries.
Well said.
Exactly. Without all the high end stuff that breaks and wears out easily.
Absolutely!
They're making vehicles for creepy women working in government schools or retired teachers who can afford vehicles with all kinds of creature comforts and useless things such as OnStar because if their vehicle breaks down they feel they have so much value someone wants to abduct them or they are making cars for people who don't have the physical dexterity or intelligence to drive a vehicle
You have to talk about the number of sissies and weirdos who are driving now who are unfit to drive ....30 to 40 years ago most people were good drivers now you got people that are too incompetent to even drive a vehicle let alone show up for a job
Ford has been a $10 - 20 stock for 30 years because the market hasn't been impressed with their performance during that time. Recalls, warranty issues, failed launches and a huge case of "Toyota Envy". Can't wait to see how well Ford deals with Mexican quality affecting F-series, their #1 seller.
Except it has bee paying out way more than GM during that time and just did better than them.
They are a income stock. A dividends stock.
Mexicans are not responsible for the junk parts that go into your junk vehicles you keep on buying, they create the same quality products as the Americans with what they're given
You are the typical ignoramus that sees it as a "us vs them" problem, the problem is cutting corners in all aspects of creating the vehicles and it isn't just Ford
Did you know Mexico has more and better qualified engineers with better education? You did not and you won't believe it either
Amen
@@Dularr yeah. That 2.4 to 4.1% average annual return over the last 30 years really rocks! Not.
@@jstowell5 all about grandma getting that quarterly check.
After that Union strike and EV nonsense , the writing was on the wall.
Yeah and my coworker was saying all these unions were getting good contracts and were due for one (ufcw 951) but, does wanting way more make sense when people aren't shopping as much and we've maintained our total income vs amount sold because we've raised prices on nonsales items? No, and we already have less hands than we did years ago. Everyones going to wake up one day when they're just one of 2-3 people total working one department and cry about it but then realize that everyone has to eat, but not here since everything cost so damn much.
The company we work at might make total revenue but each store is what the focus should be. But you work retail then your not smart enough to figure that out.
Fords biggest mistake is producing EVs.
No cap
Man’s biggest mistake is buying Fords.
Ford's biggest mistake is producing Fords.
@@stubeast4031Toyota followed ford excellents for decades.
@@tomrogers9467ford created the assembly line that everyone uses till this day
The problem with new cars is that they don't have FLUX CAPACITOR S IN THEM ANYMORE.
The only way I’d consider an EV is if it comes with a warranty like Ridgid tools: lifetime service warranty INCLUDING BATTERIES! Who wants a 20K bill six years after purchase because the Lions died!
Hyundai aka High and Dry (which is where you'll be left if you buy this crap) batteries are near 50K
Just filled the taxes last weekend and I've got my eye on that 77 pound anvil that Ridgid Tools has. Made in Germany so it should be more dependable and reliable than anything else that is out there coming from you know where!
Home Depot doesn't sell cars.
One day we will all be forced to buy one of we want to drive it's inevitable
I've heard some Tesla zealots in comments telling battery replacements was guaranteed. I have no idea what Tesla means by "guarantee" and how they will probably try to sneak out of it when the time comes.
I never thought I’d enjoy getting yelled at, but yet here I am again.
You’re doing great, keep up with your good work.
I literally almost bought a new Ford truck in December until Scotty told me not too.
The government has always been subsidizing big business for decades not just the auto industry.
Drop the chicken tax and let me buy a 12k Toyota Hi-Lux work truck!!!
I'm not sure you American blimey types would like the right-hand drive, the Toyota Hi-Lux Ute's are only sold in Japan and Australia. Matter of fact, your money told Toyota you would rather have a 4-cylinder Tacoma. There hasn't been a Hilux sold in North America in 30 years. Besides, Subaru is where it's at!
@@Destin65Do they sell Tundras there?
@@Destin65there hasn't been a Hilux sold in North America because of our government and the chicken tax, not because no one would buy them. Smaller trucks like the old Hilux's, Nissan Square Body's, Mitsubishi Mighty Max's (Or a Strada as you might know them by) etc etc are fetching a pretty penny nowadays if you can find one in good condition that runs well. Old Kei Trucks from the 1990's are also beginning to get imported from Japan and again our government is trying to put an end to it.
Been saying it for years. Cheap small truck. Sell like hotcakes. But you can’t have one.
@@Destin65 Toyota sells left hand drive Hi Lux trucks in SE Asia… would to see them sold broadly.
@7:58 THIS is why I keep my dashcam in the car whenever it goes to a mechanic. I caught one not really following the rules of the road, flying over speed bumps and cutting corners.
Yes Toyota has the most reliable CVTs. Unfortunately, Honda and Toyota have chosen to put CVTs as standard on the Civic and Corolla, so we don't have a choice
If the crank shaft is that much harder than the pulley bolt, most likely the bolt is stripped. You should first use a thread follower to clean up the threads in the crank and then put in a new bolt. AND DON'T OVER TORQUE IT THIS TIME.
Agreed... Many crankshaft bolts are torque to yield and should only be used once. Hopefully, he did not snap off the tip in the crankshaft. Another common mistake is when people beat on the harmonic balancer to seat it... I prefer the long bolt method.
@@robc7323 Where do these people come from? Why are they even on CZcams? Oh, just to display idiots?
"Thread follower"?? You mean.......a tap?
@@filster1934 There is a difference. A thread follower just cleans out the existing threads. A tap creates new threads. If a soft bolt got stripped in a hardened steel threaded piece, those threads should still be good in the hardened steel. They just need to be cleaned.
When the UAW demanded raises to cover actual Bidinflation, we knew this would happen
I remember in ‘74 my parents went to Dublin to buy a Ford van, now they’re dressed in Levi’s/T-shirts no salesman approached them, my Dad was pissed walk across the street n bought a Dodge van for cash.
They need to sue that ford dealership and it's employee
Scotty - At 8:00 the woman who left her vehicle at the Ford dealer for an oil change has a legal contract action called a "BAILMENT" against the Ford dealer. She left her car at the car dealers to obtain a service she was paying for that benefited the Ford dealership in that they would receive money for the work they did on her vehicle. Thus, the Ford dealership owed her a special duty of care against negligence. That duty of care extends to the dealer's employees even though they were acting outside the scope of their employment. The dealership could sue the negligent employees for "contribution" but the total amount of the damages are owed to the vehicle owner by the Ford dealership.
Videos of people stuck in frozen Teslas in Chicago didnt help them
Ford is actually considering moving EV production to Mexico due to the lower costs. There was no word about shutting the Kentucky plant.
When you’ve been losing millions of dollars like Ford, of course they’re considering moving the company to a cheaper country
@@Celestial_Being666I think it’s just a threat but we shall see
@@Celestial_Being666 What do you think led Ford to losing millions of dollars? It really was not the labor costs. Also keep in mind the government has bailed them out.
Argentina is the place Ford needs to build cars in since newly elected Presidente Milei turned it into a capatalist paradise where companies will thrive, EV sales are not mandated there, AND IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF LORD JAMES D. FARLEY!
@@Celestial_Being666 Yep they lose 36 grand on every single EV they sell, not really a solid business model.
I work at Kentucky truck plant and its quantity over quality lately
Really? I ordered my super duty last September has been pushed back quite a few times.
@@thomasstrilka2111 yup, not a surprise we’ve been behind for awhile tho we have been averaging 900 trucks a night so you should eventually get your truck.
Like Boeing?
CEO Jim’s “fat guy in a little coat” routine always cheers up the American autoworkers whose jobs he’s eliminating.
👍😅😂
Would love to hear Scotty go on a rant about all of the the perfectly good cars the Cash for Clunkers program ended up destroying
Seriously!!!
Finally a video with a lot funny pictures including the donkey. I was getting worried.
Scotty is so smart. I think he should have a a monthly feature on Bloomberg, topic of course, this month in the auto industry:)
He’s laughing all the way to the bank. So much for caring about his American workers. Strikes happen, but it’s the workers who would like to have a liveable wage, some health care, I’ve seen this one a lot- a safe work environment. He doesn’t even realize he’s shot himself in the foot. He doesn’t care what happens to Ford or his workers. He only cares about himself and the power he holds ( see- politician ). EV’s are a flash in the pan. It’s been done before and failed, and it’s failing again. I think most people buy EV’s not because they’re all for the environment, it’s because it’s a status symbol. A stupid one. Look at me, I’ve got lots of money! Not for very long when you start adding up the repair bills. It’s pretty bad when you buy a new vehicle, it doesn’t matter where it’s built, what matters is they cost more than a new house. It’s out of control and it’s because of people like this Ford ceo.
The teachers unions bankrupt people out of their homes so they lose their homes the police unions criminalize people so they can never get a job and earn a livelihood... the car employee unions do not care about American consumers they only care about themselves and getting pay and benefits and pensions

Still driving my 1994 ford lightning and my 1994 mustang gt , wont buy new ever again !!
The newest truck we have is 1989 & we will never buy new again either!
I had a VW Rabbit in for repair to (a front end issue). When I went to pick it up from the Northglenn, CO VW dealer it had a smashed front end fully destroyed front passenger side quarter panel and front bumper. They took care of the repair but they refused to provide a loaner car or reimburse me for having to get a rental for 6 weeks. Again the excuse was that a few of the boys took it out for a test drive at 12:06 pm.
Yur fault for goin to dealer they stole parts of my car or lost them I never went again car is doing fine battery died before end payments for cars... 😂
@peterpanini96 Clearly the dealers fault. If he would have known he wouldn't have gone.
They can move to Timbuktu, I still won’t buy a ford product!!!
No one cares.
we ALL NEED TO STOP PAYING TAXES TOGETHER!
Have a 2008 Tacoma, built is Baja California, it’s a great truck
I'll never buy another Ford.
Same
I've inherited a Ford Tempo when I was a teenager. I've learned the hard way what owning a Ford was about.
its sad how they changed. they used to be a company for working people, same with gm....now they are both catering to laptop liberals and "elites" most of both companies vehicles are unaffordable for most normal people
Ford's been unnecessarily expensive.. the dealership ended wasting my time , sales people don't do what they say, wasted 2 hours
@@lajya01 Great - and you base your limited IQ opinion on one car that Ford did not build well. Got it.
If they were going to subsidize cars for $5,000 to $7,000 they should have done it for ice vehicles that were subcompact that got a certain amount of gas mileage to help the lowest income people buy cars to get to work
I gave up on Ford in 1973. They put station wagon transmissions in their 1/2 ton pickups. Yep found out when mine trashed. . Lesson learned. Never again Ford.
Henry Ford would be proud
Another beautiful gift from the UAW. They just don't get it. Any wonder why they have 1.7 million fewer members than forty years ago?
I've put 230,000 miles on a 2005 Ford Freestyle with a CVT. Though I have had NO issues, it is true I replaced the filters aand tranny oil every 60,000 miles.
Maybe they need to switch to Callahan brake pads.
I see what you did there! 🤣😂😂😅
News flash*!! I got a cousin who hauls vehicles out of the port in Tampa and guess where the brand new Chevy Silverados being made in imported from Mexico😮😮😮😢😢😢
I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Raider. Which by the way is a rebadge Dodge Dakota. 250,000 Mi and it's good for another 250,000.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.
Well American made means paying three times what its worth 😫
I've been contemplating buying a new Ford truck. Maybe not. Thanks
So sad how some people treat the people that help them build their empire
100%
they r just numbers for those top500s all of they r ah
that is why they created the term human resources. We are not people. We are merely resources to be allocated as they see fit.
Did Scotty just quote The Great Cornholio ( Beavis ) Are you threatening me.
Always had good luck driving F150's. But my current one was getting a little long in the tooth, soI started looking for something new. The Ford dealership network has become greedy and corrupt. They try to charge OVER sticker price! I kept the old F150 and bought a Mazda hatchback.
Mazdas are surprisingly good cars.
jb slow-weld properly 50/50 mixed into even grey paste and then left to sit for 72-hours on a very clean metal surface can often make a bond that is stronger than most low-quality metals... my rc car had a diy-jb-welded clutch that out-lasted a dozen drive-shafts and several sets of gear teeth in its spur-clutch-assembly, allowing it to do burnouts, wheelies and all sorts of stupid stuff while destroying the whole rest of the drive-train.

On that motorists stripped crankshaft threads, how about using a Heli-coil repair kit? There are other thread repair kits as well. Just can`t remember the name of them at the moment.
He said the crank is hardened. You have to drill and tap for heli coil.
@@rodbender6184 Just remembered the other repair kit name, Keen-Sert. Have used both on hardened steel shafts. Takes awhile & you may have to use > 1 drill or sharpen the drill a couple of times.
Wish ford would make a full frame car like Lincoln with out the expensive space shuttle computer systems and just good engine and four round wheels
I drive in forward, and then back out. In this way, the exhaust pipe points away from the house. As for protecting the car from theft, with front wheel drive, the front wheels are locked when you are in park, so the front wheels should be toward the house, not toward the street. Makes it more difficult to tow (i.e. steal) the car.
I had a new 2003 Ford Aerostar van that I took back 3 times to repair the AC 6000 miles they called me late on a Friday afternoon and said it was ready to pick up and that the key was under the mat. Something sounded hoakey my van was pulled up tight again the shop wall front right fender approx 5 inches from the wall there was some sort of damage to the fender when I opened the hood the battery was destroyed and you could see daylight through another hole. I had a friend of mine that worked for the Police Department come take pictures and I had him take the keys and locked the van. Monday morning he and I went back to the dealer and they fessed up to a employee drove a forklift through the side of the van but they denied calling me. They fixed it and then I got rid of it.
I understand unions were needed many years ago, but now?... NO. I wonder how affordable USA made cars would be if the UAW didn't exist?
Unions get you benefits like great insurance and a planned pension income when your old an deserve a break from working your whole life.
I retired from two careers by the time I was 64 with great medical insurance, pension/401K plans, and I never belonged to a union. There are plenty of careers a person can get into that treat their workers very well and are not unionized.@@rodbender6184
The average worker makes 20- 25 an hour for the uaw. Any idea how much the executive branch earns. I guess they deserve it. I can imagine how difficult it must be to figure how to make things cheep and charge a premium.
We need stronger unions. We need to boycott company's and the products they sell that try and skirt around them by building factories in Mexico.

My dad taught me to ALWAYS back in your car. If you’ve got a battery in the front of the car and it goes dead, it’s much easier to jumpstart. If you park the car nose in and the battery dies overnight, you may have to push the car out to jumpstart.
I also had a VW dealership smash my car (while performing warranty work) and tried to give it back to me without a front bumper cover and headlights. They tried to say I brought it to them like that.
Ford´s biggest mistake was overpricing their F-150s.
It's really all they have at this point so why wouldn't they?
Which way to park in driveway ... If you have a driveway that has a slope and you have a pickup ... Go front end first. I always backed up and my bed rusted out near the cab size. I have liner but moisture got in there and over the years it rusted out.
Who’s going to steal my 24 year old Toyota? Nobody!
Nobody`s going to steal my folks 1989 S10 Blazer either!At times hard to start with all the humidity & cold of Oregon.

Scotty talked about that in one of his previous videos and he’s pissed.
All, not some
@@melvinhunt6976 it’s WIDELY KNOWN that Toyota pay their Mexican workers WAY MORE than any other automotive manufacturer which is why Toyota Mexican quality holds up & Ford Mexican quality doesn’t. Ford pay their Mexican workers very little . & that goes with any business the people that get paid more are gonna work harder than people who get paid less . Especially if the workers who are making the higher wage are less experienced and younger or ur doing all the work while ur boss makes most of the money & sits on their rear that’s just the way it goes.
@@Celestial_Being666 why are you cry babies taking up for Toyota? They build cars and trucks in Mexico! Get Over It!
This is a long time ago, but I drove a Pinto during college, which wasn’t too bad, mostly crappy gas mileage, then I bought an Aerostar van when my kids were small and was the biggest pile of crap ever. Same experience with the dealership, in and out and in and out until they just threw their hands up in frustration. Never owned a Ford since.

Hey Scottie...we bought a Mazda CX 5...2.5 litre non turbo , 6 speed automatic and made in Japan.
Yawn.
At 8:00, I used to work at a Ford dealer as a car prep and when a customer brought in a nice, sporty car it got taken out for a joy-ride down the back road behind the dealership and I mean the car was put through it's paces.
Buy Murican but made in Mexico? Is that patriotic of Ford? Or buy Japanese made in Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana?
All the auto manufactures have turned their backs on the people who built the businesses They all lost my support years ago I don't drive anything from Detroit I bought a Corolla
Good on you vote with your dollar
Considering the crazy demands that the UAW extorted out of the automakers this was going to happen. Even Stevie Wonder could see that.
I watch Scotty just to see his "Danger, Will Robinson, DANGER!" performance.
You are bang on when it comes to the Garage Policy, known as an SPF#4 Garage Policy in Canada, covers test driving clients autos in for repair.
You may as well move the Ford HQ to Mexico. And name the new Ford model that rolls out of the assembly line the Ford Burrito!

Same with Dodge.

My grand marquis, 2004, still going strong; my 2000 ford van, still going strong, might be a few years before I buy that mule(hehaw)!
Common sense is a rare find in DC these days. Thanks for the info Scotty.
I wouldn't buy a ford if they built them across the street from me
I would if they let put the truck together. Might take me awhile though & I would want a labor discount!
I'm not sure it's fair to blame the Mexican assembly line workers. It appears to be poor design and implementation directed by US engineers and bean-counters.
Scotty I bought a ssangyong korando please give you opinion on the vehicle thank you from Wales UK !
All the Mexican mechanics that I know are better then the American ones.
Mechanics don't build cars. Uneducated labour builds cars.
HELL YES THEY ARE..one time my Novas carburetor broke in Tijuana . the frigging mechanic fixed it with a avocado seed ..😂..a frigging AVOCADO SEED 😂😂😂..he was like it will get you home and then you can repair it properly. I still used it for a few months with the seed and all 😂😂😂
As a seasoned mechanic I'm surprised that you call it an emergency brake ... it is a parking brake.
So does that mean you can't use it in an emergency????
I did not say that .... I'm just saying it is technically called a parking brake ... that is its primary purpose and function.
@ralphw1804 well if your brakes go out on you when driving? It's an emergency to stop your car and that has happened to me before. I got it home using the parking/emergency brake. Good luck doing that with the electric PARKING BRAKE. They should be illegal imo
Well, I’ve always called it emergency brake. And being from Tennessee that’s what we call it.
They need to go back to manual parking brakes that will work even with a dead battery
I have a 2006 ford taurus. I bought it while it was rotting in cow manure with actual algae on it. it started right up and with about $1,000 in repairs it runs like new and can easily do 100 mph. it has 220,000 miles on it and I'm going to drive it until it turns back into the minerals they took from the earth to make it. however, when that happens, I'm not going to get another ford unless they get their act together and start making them like they used to.
Don't doubt Tesla. It would be a mistake. They're tech is incredible.
Fix Or Repair Daily....had plenty of them.

@@bshingledecker I'm old ..... but not a dad. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had my share of them, too.

Fuckin Old Rusted Dodge.
The current administration's policy on EV's and the UAW's greed is killing the American auto manufacturers. I had a vehicle with a CVT and discovered it sucked on the highway. Made a road trip from CA to FL. Transmission had to be replaced after only 25k miles on the car.
The uaw are american workers demanding fair pay for their labor. It's people like you who hire illegals and then complain about the people leaving the border open.
Maybe you should take a pay cut you probably sit behind a desk counting money 😂
Sad the union folks will still vote for Potato Head. These same folks will loose there jobs in a few years.
Why are you blaming union workers for asking higher wages and not the rich hedge fund baby owner that’s taking in all the profit?
@@jaysmith179or sooner.
Not going to lie, getting tons of car commercials all over youtube and I like this better than the get rich quick schemes we were being spammed with.
That's where my Fusion was made. No wonder my steering unit died at 43,000 miles, eh?
For the love of f'n gawd Ford, Fire Jim Farley!!!
Up qc, lower prices on your vehicles, and loyalty incentives.
The UAW's demands were responsibe for this by asking for a 46% pay increase for their unions.
And a 4 day work week too.
This about 30 yrs ago a friend of mine left a car over the weekend at a dealership so he could test drive their car
When he came back on Monday he said he didn't want the car so when he ask for his car they said they sold it. He and others had to go to the Att.Gen of the state to settle. The owner lost his dealership over it .
Guess both Farley brothers now be living down by the river in there van. 😂
Norway was doing the same thing maybe 2018? The incentive was like 35%. In Oslo it was amazing coming from US more than have the cars in the city seemed to be EVs. Mind blowing. But if you can take 35% off as a consumer...
They need a 30% decrease in MSRP.
With UAW crappy quality and industry high wages, no wonder Ford is leaving to Mexico. They ought to build up their European operations for quality cars, and Mexican operation for cheap cars, and their American operation for expensive trucks. Otherwise Ford won’t survive. I don’t see how they are still around. How could a company who staved off the recession be in such a poor state when there is supposed to be a huge market with the shortages and stuff? It’s beyond me.
I’ve had Nissan Frontier with CVT for years. No problems. Good performance.
Some SHYSTER muffler shop in Cleveland, Ohio in the winter time would steal all the air conditioning refrigerant from their customer’s automobiles . Summertime , customers would return for A/C repairs !
I haven't owned a Ford since their "Thin Film Ignition" debacle. No big loss if they do move to Mexico IMO.
From Australia - you guys inspire no confidence generally in 2024.
From the USA, I was thinking the same thing about Australia during the C0 vid lockdowns. We're all pretty much screwed. (At least you guys did not have to endure the "Summer of Love" as far as I've heard, or a prime minister as crooked or as incompetent as our current pres.) Where will all of this end?
Yep. Thank god the Australian industrial might is there to pick up the slack.
@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248 lol
Australia wants to constantly go to wars like the United States but it doesn't producec anything of value@@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248
If ya park the nose facing in always turn your steering wheel towards something that cannot move. Most thieves will pass over a challenge like that most cannot unlock a steering wheel on keyed cars & trucks. If its gonna be unattended a long time remove a wheel and sit it as close to the ground as it goes.
