The more I drive Toyota's Camry, the more impressed I become. That is one well-built machine. Fudge, I fear for Ford and GM.
I don't want Ford to go bankrupt, but if they do, I must say I won't grieve much. In the 1970's, Representative "Little Louie" Wyman apparently took his marching orders from "Henry Ford The Second" when Wyman managed to forbid the National Highway and Safety Administration (NHSA) from requiring that cars could only start if the driver's safety belt were buckled.
Henry Ford II and New Hampshire Representative Louis Wyman are responsible for **Millions** of American casualties and fatalities over the past 33 years. (Not a positive legacy for New Hampshire.)
If Ford disappears, it would be poetic justice. GM, on the other hand, anticipated the NHSA's safety belt-ignition switch regulation, and produced the safer cars for an entire year before Ford managed to torpedo the NHSA, an agency that spent time researching the matter, scientifically and thoroughly.
GM does not have blood on its hands like Ford. If one U.S. auto manufacturer is to survive, let it be GM. Ford has a lurid history of disregard for the public's safety. Pinto, anyone?
