A Jaguar is a nice Ford.

And on that theory, a Mazda is a Ford.

What's the point?

My car is 10x nicer than my parent's Lincoln LS and it's the "SAME" car.

How many small businesses went down when their lines of credit were cut during the crisis?
That's exactly what happened to the company that I was working for. They cut the company's line of credit in half from 1 million, to half a million.
Between paying for equipment, people's salaries, the building, and other necessities, it was doomed and finally folded in October of last year. (Damn shame too. GREAT company to work for.)

A Jaguar is a nice Ford.

Minor threadjack, but it is a crime that should be punishable by a long prison term......what Ford did to arguably the finest piece of automotive styling in the latter half of the twentieth century.

They managed with great aplomb to take a timeless classic design.....and turn it into an expensive Taurus......bleh!!
