Hooray for Ford

I only read the topline of the news about the fact that Ford Motor Company turned a nice profit in Q2.

Go figure. GM and Chrysler both went bankrupt this year after taking billions of our tax dollars and Ford is making good money.

My take is that they have always been the best US car company and despite not liking a lot of what Ford does from a styling standpoint, they are the only American car that I'll ever buy. I have a Lincoln LS now (a Ford product) and I love it. Also, my Poppy (grandpa) worked for Ford for many years and I kinda feel like I should be loyal to them. Not to mention that they stuck to their guns and said "No bailout money for us mr. commie government" and kept their business going old fashioned style... with smart choices and hard work.

Check out my July 1st globbing if you want to get more of my perspective about BS bailouts and the like.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite song quotes from 2 bands. Can you name them?
"Can't buy what I want because it's free..."; "What no man can own, no man can take..."; and "I don't question our existence, I just question our modern needs..."

They've always been favs of mine, but they just seem to to be very relevant these days.

Don't buy crap you don't need. That's why it's called crap.
Don't spend money you don't have. That's why it's called money.
Enjoy what you got that's free, like family, freedom and love.
Take a hike instead of watching TV.
And if you are down about your circumstances, change them.
Luck isn't about chance or quick profit, it's about being ready when opportunities arise.

Have a great day globbers.
