Back on topic, I heard just today on fox news, that the ford executives are going to DC in a hybrid escape. They also said ford expects to break even by 2011 even with out a bailout, that they are in the best shape of the 3. However, if either of the other 2 file for bankruptcy, it could have a negitive impact on ford. I don't understand why, I would think that would bring ford more customers, but thats what they said.

I wonder if anyone will ask these three suits where they are staying in DC?
You can bet your bottom dollar it ain't at Motel 6.
My guess is...at the Willard, one a the most expensive hotels in town.

I'm just relieved that ford is doing better than the other 2. Alan said they may not even need the bailout, but would like to have it handy in case. I'm glad Bill Ford stepped down, at least Alan seems to know what he's doing, at least a little bit. Ford needed a good CEO during these tough times.
