Fun fact: There is a German saying "Ford gefahren, heim gelaufen" Which is a play on words (Ford and the German word "fort" which means 'away' sound very similar, at least the way most Germans pronounce Ford, with a short 'o') and translates to "you drove a Ford and came home on foot". Disclaimer: I have driven in Ford cars for quite some time, and **knocks on wood** so far I never had any problems in that regard.
Ford has a lot of fans and a lot of detractors. Neutral Found On Road Daily Antagonistic Fix Or Repair Daily Fans First On Race Day
I prefer Lotus: Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious Or maybe Qantas: Quite A Nice Takeoff, Any Survivors?
