While I like Fords very much, but i got to say BMW makes a well built vehicle. You can pull a 180 in it and not one wheel will leave the ground. They have great warranties too. We had a man from Universal Technical Institute come to our school. During his presentation he told us about a BMW that was towed off of road Atlanta. It had engine failure at about 6700 rpm. Now this was a street car. BMW honored the warranty and said it shouldn't have failed. Now take your F-150 to a race track and blow the engine in it. See if Ford will honor the warranty on it then.
Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard Ford fan all the way and have never owned anything else, but I would have to say that my favorite anti-Ford saying(I know it's not an acronym) is:

I'd like to see ya take ANY (i mean any) manufacturers ride to a racetrack and blow it up. NONE of them are gonna warranty fixing it. BMW was grandstanding that day and/or they guy from UTI was paid to lie for them.
I'm sure a soccer mom AWD X5 with a 1:1 transfer case is gonna kill my locked 150 offroad.
Ever wonder how there got to be so many Ford acronyms?
From die hard chebby lovers... What else do they have to do, to kill time when they are broke down on the side of the road? (and they have LOTS of time!)
Anyway, I was walking through the pick u part, to look at a sunfire turbo for my brother, as he needed an oil line from the turbo cartridge.
It was the first time I had ever walked into that area, and the darkest feeling of gloom came over me... Never before had I seen so many ugly vehicles all in one area! I mean, it was all JUNK. I got sick and had to leave!
I went back to the Ford section (ever wonder why the Ford section is always less than half the size of chebby? MORE OLD FORDS STILL ON THE ROAD!!!) just to get my fresh air back, and I was instantly welcomed by some nice old trucks, gracefully aged cars, and the odd old van.
Visions of the words 'Cleveland', 'Super Cobra Jet', 'BOSS', 'Cammer', 'Thunderjet', and many others came back to me... Ahhhhh....
and in chebby land??? "Oh yeah dude, I got me a 350 chebby in there! You? " "Oh, I got a cool 350 chebby in my car..."Yeah, real exciting stuff, man...
