I read an article today in our paper stating Ford will be pay $100,000.00 each to all of its workers loosing their jobs due to plant closures. I find this rediculous by a company that can't produce a quality vehicle and sales are slumping. I owned a Ranger for a couple years and it was pathetic in every aspect. Got smart and bought a Toyota Tacoma. What outstanding quality!!!! Another newspaper article I read said the average auto maker is paid $64.00 an hour. Not bad for someone standing on an assembly line installing the same part over and over. I have no sympathy at all for the American auto makers with this kind of wages. Another point - the good old unions are getting so greedy they are killing profitability. A happy Toyota owner
