I tell ya that irritates me. The comment where the driver of a rolled over
bronco said he was blaming himself, but now has some vindication, that is
ubsurd. If Im runnning with scissors in my hand trip, fall, and puncture a
lung with em, I dont call national safety boards and protest that the scissor
manufacturer knew that this could happen but sold em anyway. What a crock.
Like you said, you pay your money, you take your chances. America is going
the way of the weenie Ladies and Gentlemen, I say its time we get back to the
days of old, where you actually had to work to live. No power steering or
automatics, youd better be able to setup points on the side of the road. Its
all the convieniences and the like that are making it possible for the
weenies to take over. Toasters that know when to pop up before it was burnt,
a vacuum with an infrared sensor to tell ya if all the dirt is up. These are
making it possible to live life without actually thinking. Do we want this?
I sure dont.

Subject: More Ranting


Does this lawsuit mean I can sue Ford now? I hit myself in the eye while
replacing the balljoints in my F250 4x4. I should be able to get a couple
of mill for all the pain and suffering. I mean, I had people asking me
several times a day way I had a black eye. If Ford new it was dangerous to
work on there trucks, they should make them so nothing is serviceable.

I'm sorry, that's like suing a screwdriver manufacturer because you poked
your eye out. Just because your an idiot and don't know what end of the
screwdriver to hold does not give you the right to sue.
I'm sorry for the rant, but like other people on this list, that really
iritated me.

I Obtained this article from http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://sierratimes.com
this is not your typical l*b*r*l news sight.
Keeping with the Ford format, there are a couple articles to do with Slick
Willy and his plans for OUR public lands.

Preach on, brother!

I own a 1988 Bronco II. I have 31" Tires on it, a 3" Suspension lift, and a 2"
Body lift. (Today it got compressed air, but that's another story!) I have
seven (Soon to be nine) shocks on it., and it has NEVER gotten squirly on me,
EVER!

I just know how to drive it!

Remember when Monica Lewinskly rolled her stock 4 door explorer? She
"overcorrected" and flipped it on the highway.

I'm pretty sure that these are VERY Safe cars, but people are just terrible
drivers with them. Maybe the general population is getting dumber and dumber!

I had an 88 BII with 3" body and 31's. I lifted a front tire on a 90
degree turn once, BUT I was trying to. After the first round of "bull" I
heard about them I figured lets see what it takes to do this. All I can
say is no "right" person should be driving a 90 deg turn at what I had
to do to get it there and it still was not close to tipping :-).
