I don't have that kind of scratch anymore but if I did I would rather look at the nice balance in the market than pay that much for a car. Am I allowed to move into The Villages if I don't own a German Car? We drive Ford because they are American and they didn't ask for a bailout. Thank God this man got home to his family safely, he was on our mind.

I'm with you. First, thank God he is OK. Second, I have a Buick and a Chrysler, made in the USA. Once, only once in the last 40 years did I own a foreign car, a Toyota Avalon. Gave it back after a year when it accelerated to 100 mph on it's own. Oh, my bad, I forgot. Toyota sent an engineer from New Jersey who told me that it never happened. I sent them a letter with the car asking if I was a fool or a liar. And their response--none.
