I (And Business Schools Everywhere...) are waiting for your new book, "The Bronco Roof Debacle, And How Not To Screw Up A Really Good Product Launch." As hard as everyone has worked on the new Bronco, in hindsight, SMART PEOPLE WILL AGREE, this problem could have been avoided. I...
The woman who rode in my car and complained about my driving is now my ex-girlfriend. A Man gotta do what a Man gotta do. Protect the Man-turf. Garages are Man-Turf. The tv remote is Man-Turf. Inside the car is Man-Turf. Etc etc.
Now that we Bronco Forum Participants ("BFP" T shirts available) are experts on vehicle design, engineering, manufacturing, crash testing, off road testing, durability testing, suspension design, shipping logistics, dealer allocation formula, on-line purchasing, off-road driving, on-line...
I worked at the Ford Livonia Parts Depot during the summer of 1973. A 1969 Mustang part was D9ZZ XXXX. Now we are up to M2DZ? I'm in a time warp. Made in Macedonia?

A pure McPherson strut uses the anti-roll bar as one of the 2 lower control arms. The original US Escort had this suspension. I'm surprised more people weren't killed. The compliance allowed by the bushings caused all sorts of issues.
So sorry, hope you and your family return to health and happiness. I have a friend who had a garage like yours...plus snowmobiles...plus jet skis... etc etc... but the rest of his world filled with sadness and drama. Toys are not enough...
Fewer and fewer MT available in ANYTHING...Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Aston Martin, Corvette, Alfa, etc etc. If Ford can manage to keep MT, that makes it a USP...Unique Selling Proposition. Business schools tell you: Look for a USP. THANK GOD FOR FARLEY.
