I got an "F" word for ya and it ain't Ford.
This topic is childish. I don't think one like this bashing Ford's would even be allowed. Would it Ken?
If it's OK, I'd like to start one.

I think you're on the wrong board. If you feel like bashing the good stuff maybe you should go to your own. WE FORD OWNERS ARE PROUD PEOPLE! I'm sure there is a little lighthearted bashing of Fords that go on on GM boards. I just don't feel the need to look at something I would not personally own.

These threads are going to be locked down if the name calling and implied cussing doesn't stop, from either side of the fence.

Wow guys...
I'm a Canuck too, but I found it funny. I'm also a Toronto Maple Leafs fan so I guess I should be good at laughing at myself...
I wouldn't be surprised to see similar talk at the "other guy's" discussion boards. If we took any of this seriously, we would be having too much time on our hands, don't you think?
My father used to say "Garbage Man's Companion." He was a Ford man. My grandfather drove GMC's only, and if I'm not mistaken, he only had 3 trucks his whole life. So maybe Ford isn't the only one who builds them the right way...
Just my CDN$0.02!

Generally More Crap
General Maintenence Corporation
When you want a show truck with 6-way adjustable heated leather seats, wood-grain dash board, 35 -disc CD-changer, and daytime running lights, buy a GM product.
But, when you're ready to work, send the GM home and bring out the Ford
(you just might scrath the paint in the bed and ruin the leather interior).

I dont personally like leather but I would have to say that it is more durable and probably easier to clean than any cloth seats, Furthermore my 86 F-150 had a factory wood grain dash

Fordy,
I live in Canada as well. And here is a news flash, Some things that are made here are not all that great anyway!(fords excluded). We also make the F-150 lightning here, and you think that I am going to put that down?
Quite a few GM products are made in Bomanville (or Oshawa?), and they are all garbage, and it is made in Canada, hence, garbage made in Canada! It is just meant to be a dig at GM, not Canada.

Otto,
There's nothing wrong with wood-grain dash boards, 35-disc CD changers, or leather seats, as long as it's in a vehicle like a Lincoln Towncar, Crown Vic, C%%&y Caprice, or vehicles of that sort. In this area, I see a lot of GM trucks that people lower until they almost touch the road, put oversized ugly wheels on, and install 10,000,000 watt distorted sound sytems. I recently saw one guy with a lowered S-10. He welded a piece of steel plate over the entire bed and painted it to match the body. He can't use the bed to store anything, even if he wanted to. I have even seen somebody with a lowrider 4x4 C%^&&*y crew-cab dually pickup in this area. If that's not an example of all show and no go, I don't know what is.

My Dad used to have a hot rod Pinto. He said he smoked an SS Chevelle and would eat up Corvettes all day long in that thing. It had everything from a dual tunnel ram 289 screamer to a 351W stuffed under it's home made hoodscoop.

I picked that username because my dad used to own a 1980 2-door Pinto wagon. The thing wouldn't run for 6 months, and my dad kept putting money into it. There were holes in the floor boards, the AM radio died, and it barely idled when it did start. My dad still doesn't forgive my mom for calling the junkyard and towing it away. That was 10 years ago .
On the other hand, I have never had any major problems with the 2 ford trucks I've owned. You couldn't pay me to buy anything made by GM. I drive one at work (98 S10), but that's only because it's a company vehicle.
