THAT is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard from a manufacturer. Talk about liability. I'm willing to bet that guy is unemployed next week.

Criminy, Ford's response ought to be "Hey, stupid, you've got 6 and 8 year old cars in extreme service and in the rust belt, DUH!" What the heck do they expect.

Now pay attention all you geeks out there wanting to buy that 1995 Crown Vic from the rust belt for $2000.... think twice.
