Actually, no one has a right to be pissed about a vehicle being out of warranty.

You signed the paperwork when you purchased it, it said it plain as day, 3 years, 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Or whatever it's up to now.

If you didn't like the warranty, don't buy it

Just a little reality check brought to you by ... me

I got to say Im pleased with the direction Ford is going. I think Bill Ford should get lot off credit for this. I remember a time when people were critisizing him real bad when Ford was losing money but he hired Allan Mulally which was the best thing he could have done. Made the changes needed to get Ford eventually back going in a positive direction. Yeh Fords not debt free like GM an Dodge but what did the taxpayers dish out to keep those companies going. Very costly. To me if GM an Dodge want to get back in the game hopefully they will pay back everything they recieved in this bailout. Bankruptcy is never a good thing. I was talking to a friend off mine the other day hes a die hard Chevy guy. After this mess he said he would never buy one again.

I've been talking to a lot of Peeps, most say they will never buy from a company that took Gov. Bail Out (Tarp)

Most say they will buy from Ford. Some look to the East.

While Ford finally posts a profit, GM has promised to pat US back it's 50 billion dollar loan at the rate of 1 billion per quarter.

My house will be nearly paid off by the time those idiots satisfy thier debt to US.

Should be 9 zeros for a billion. Not that it makes your point any less valid.
