Why The Big 3 Don’t Need a Bailout and Other Rants

The Big Three: 2009 Ford F-150, 2009 Ford Fusion, 2009 Ford Taurus

The big three at Ford this year: The F-150, the Ford Fusion and the Ford Taurus don’t a need bailout, instead they need a standing ovation.

Today, I want to tell you about the 2009 Ford F-150 and a few reasons why it is the truck of the year.

• The Ford F-150 has been the #1 pick-up for thirty plus years in a row. Think about competition today, in business, in sports, in the classroom, and for “godsakes” even in politics….you have to be pretty special to come in number #1. even three or four years in a row.
• The Texas Writers Association and their audience like the F-150 so much they have awarded it first place based on the feed-back and vote of confidence of Ford F-150 owners,
• If you like to drive the safest pickup, then you would be in agreement with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
• Leasing companies like ALG, love the residual value, so if leasing fits your M.O… your in good shape here too.
• Multiple publications including both Detroit newspapers, Kelly Blue Book, Motor Trend and Popular Mechanics just can’t say enough good about how much they like this year’s Ford F-150 pickup truck, as it has received a truck load of awards.

In addition Hugh Hefner and his three new girlfriends have been spotted topless in MT’s Truck of the year. Or maybe that is supposed to read, ” Hef and three of his bunny’s have been spotted in the top truck of the year”. Anyways you know what I mean.(I think Hef was in his P.J’s the entire time!)

Oh yes, one more important detail. Ford did something very risky. They did a “Houdini” on the 2009 F-150.

So your asking your-self what is a “Houdini”? A Houdini is what I call a “now you see it, now you don’t phenomenon”. No, this is not smoke and mirrors. What Ford did was a complete re-design on the 2009 F-150. The reason this is risky… is because although Ford did all of their home work, they never know exactly how their audience is going to react. Well this time, instead of their new design innovations striking out and disappearing, they hit the ball out of the park…Home Run!

Tomorrow I will write another fun, interesting and informative post about some really neat Stuff on the 2010 Ford Taurus you just gotta know about. On Wednesday I want to reveal and share with you a very special insight on the Ford Fusion.

Brad’s Rant for the Day: ” The Sting”…The Artificial Rise of Oil in the Summer of 2008

Remember that great movie with Robert Redford and Paul Newman; “The Sting”….as you recall the whole movie was about setting up this “Mark”….and then taking him down for the Sting. The moral to the story, greed will get you every time. Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

So goes the story for 2008: The Rise and Fall of a gallon of gas.

Here in Bartlesville, Oklahoma the price gas has ranged from $1.31 to $4.14 a gallon.

I don’t think we will see $3 gas for a long time. And $4 gas? Well let me put it this way. One can take advantage of the American consumer once, but you can’t do it twice.

Market Manipulation: Screwed, Blued and Tattooed…..!!??

A good friend of mine who is a commodity trader told me last summer; “This entire oil-gas spike is artificial. It is being orchestrated from the Oil and Energy trading pits at the New York Mercantile Exchange”. He said…”THERE is no shortage of oil and gas”…the hedge funds and the huge commercial traders are attempting to corner the market”….and that they did. Meanwhile the over stocked Oil Companies just sat back with their hands behind their head, their feet up on the desk and a smile just like…. the Cheshire Cat!…. as we tried to catch our breath every time we pumped gas. We were screwed, blued and tattooed! That’s a rap on my rant.
