i let the family down....
when i bought a mazda i broke a good 20 years of family tradition. my folks have been driving fords forever and rat bastard that i am i had to go buy a mazda.
i'm such a rat bastard. they were fully expecting me to buy a ford fugly (focus) i think. a little shocked when they saw the P5. mind you, they agreed that it was a nicer car once they took a good look at it and went for a ride. can you be the black sheep of the family when you're an only child? |
good thing Ford owns Mazda.:D

yeah, we were in a similar situation - my gf's dad is ALL Ford...
But, 1) the Foci are "hecha en Mexico" - how does this contribute to the American workforce? 2) Geez - how many known mechanical defects and recalls has the Focus had? 7 or so... Besides, you don't seem like a sheep of any flavor (black, blue or otherwise), since you didn't "follow" trends/traditions but instead made your own decision. In that regard, you are at least, a sheep dog, running circles (Thanks to Protege) around the herd (of Aspiring Foci). |
My dad was pissed that I bought:
A. A new car: "You're wasting your money!" (he's never owned a new car in his life) B. A foreign car: "You're taking away jobs from Americans!" Funny, though--he's more than willing to have me drive him around in my awful, new, foreign car. :D :D |

I really didn't care about that...this was going to be my first car, and so I wanted a new one. And yes, it has scratches on it now...but I've tried not to cry too much :) |
ford sucks!
and it doesn't matter if ford owns mazda because as long as they don't touch the cars they make - everything is good!...i know ford makes the trucks for mazda but they don't touch the cars so it's all good!!! |
Imagine how much better for would be if Mazda owned them. Oh wait a minute Mazdas have "owned" Fords for quite some time!!! In fact I Owned a Foci the other night!!!:eek:

Thats been pising me off too. VW/Audi has a horrible repair record and a boat load of dip shit think they are the best cars on the road. At least with Honda guys they can relisticly say its a well built car but VW is simply garbage. BUt Ford does suck. They also have a terible repair record and they have some of the worst service departments.
