I truly enjoy the changed profile picture. Lovely!
Didn't dig the Castro, huh?
first off, that's a chevy not a ford.
second, yes you're damn right it's hideous.
third, cars like this are the reason GM is going out of business and laying off tens of thousands.
lastly, an affront to henry ford is okay with me considering the man spent a good deal of his fortune proselytizing that the Jews were in cabal with the devil. And in 1922 he made huge contributions to Hitler's political campaign in Bavaria. In fact, Hitler liked him so much for Ford's seventy-fifth b-day he gave him the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle. And when the US govt. asked him to return it in 1944 and again in 1945, he said they could pry it from his cold dead hands. Screw Henry Ford and the model T he rode in on.
Appreciated, but I'm aware that it's a Chevy and not a Ford. It's an affront to Henry Ford as the inventor of the automobile. Yes, he was an anti-Semite. Still built the car and created the assembly line.
Brett, Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. Henry Ford invented the assembly line.
There is some dispute over who invented the first automobile, depending on whether you judge by a steam or gas powered engine. But the world's first practical car was invented and manufactured by Karl Benz in the 1840's, when Henry Ford was still wearing short pants.
What are they teaching you in the Great Falls school system?
I know, I've heard all about your little Kraut friend. That thing he built was not an automobile. Internal combustion.
Remember, you're an American, not a gawd damn Prussian.
"In 1885, German mechanical engineer, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine." Just cause it doesn't have roof on it doesn't mean it's not packing under the hood.
And even if you don't accept Benz's model which, there is no reason why you shouldn't, Daimler and Otto still would have beaten ford to the punch by more than three decades a piece.
The only thing Henry Ford invented that actually went into a car was a transmission component. Other than that the man created a more efficient way to build cars, and I would consider his accomplishment visionary if he hadn't been such a raging anti-Semitic bastard.
Transmission too. Good point. It's not really an automobile without a tranny. Benz and Daimler just built glorified horse carts useful for little more than dragging stroganoff from Frankfurt to Munich. Go America.
By the way, as long as we're on anti-Semitic automakers, what pray tell were Benz and Daimler up to back during World War II? And while we're pondering, what was Ford busy building?
