quote:I understand your point however Ford didn't build the car, Detomaso did(as you know). What about all the Pantera's built after the Ford era, are they also considered Ford's?
People with Ford Blue in their veins will always argue the point about a Pantera being a Ford but it simply isn't. Ford didn't build the car. That is a fact. I would argue that there is a HUGE number of Pantera owners that agree that it is not a Ford. I knew my statement would be controversial with some...
>>>It was only “Powered by Ford.”<<<
Scott,
Long ago I gave up my fantasy that anyone would have the same politics, sexual orientation, or view on gun control or abortion. Mostly, I try to ignore these failings in others, but sometimes I get a little nutz.
IMO, if one is going to change something then change it for the better or for performance. The LCD (lowest common denominator) philosophy is what drags America down. Popular does NOT equal good. Just because "everyone" does it, or its cheepcheep is no good reason to follow that path. Popular art is seldom, if ever, good. I won't even bring up our political system.
"Powered by Ford" only kicked the dominant brand's ass in the World Sports Car Championship in 1964 and 1965. "Powered by Ford" also kicked the dominant brand's ass 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 at LeMans.
Everyone is entitled to their own free will. Enjoy it.
Personally, the only voice I have is at the voting polls and how & where I spend my money. Money is never spent on a watch or tool that is anti-left handed. Money is almost never spent at anti-Ford vendors. Thanks for the enlightenment!
I guess the rant is over, have a nice day.
