Yes maybe 30-50 years ago. But Ford has come light years ahead on overall quality. Current JD Power rates Ford the same as MB, Lexus, Audi, Toyota.... The good news is that it is pretty hard to buy a poor quality car today. I purchased an Ford F-150 Pickup about 10 years ago - it was the most perfect vehicle I have ever owned - absolutely nothing wrong with it in any way. Unfortunately, I sold it to buy my wife a convertible (happy wife, happy life) but I miss that truck. Note that Lincoln rates #2 on the overall quality list for 2015. (I grew up in Detroit so....)
I feel your pain. I just sold my 2011 F150 not even 2 weeks ago. I already miss it and the few thousand I put into it. Bought a mercedes though, so not too bad of a switch!

Proud day for me, on the way to Grandson's inauguration as President of his National Honor Society chapter.

Wearing my best watch on the "MeshInOz".

Pardon the crocodile hide it's displayed on.

Hey Jim, your bracelet looks similar, you didn't "buy one-get one free" did you?

Hey Jim, I wish!

When I got my SM300 from Watchco, Marcus asked me what kind of bracelet I wanted. The mesh was a no brainer.

And congrats on the boy, you must be a proud Grand Dad!

I'm amazed at how much I like the look and feel of the mesh.
A diver bracelet on a Seamaster just seems right!

You know I'm joking about BOGO, I won't soon forget your kindness!

I can't talk about the boy, I'll just explode.

By the way, how was your trip? Been waiting on the report!

Thanks - her car and she loves it. It's BMW #9 between the two of us. It's xDrive because she has always driven an all wheel drive BMW - her car is always the winter car. She has had 2 325's that were AWD, then an X1, and now the 335. Her cars are getting bigger, and mine are getting smaller. I started out with a couple of 5 series, then two Z4's (last one being a Z4M), and now I have this little thing...128i





Even though there is snow on the ground in these photos I don't drive it in the winter. In fact since I work from home I don't drive it much at all. It's a 2009 that I bought in 2011, and it only had 7,000 kms on it. It now has a whopping 21,000 kms on it...馃榾

Fun little car, and maybe next summer I'll be perking it up a little...need to talk to my mechanic.

Cheers, Al
