And that is how GM trumped Ford. Then the Japanese taught all that one could have all of those choices plus reliable high performance and the US spent a lot of money it didn't have at the time to retool and we got our money back. Then they moved the manufacturing plants to American because the gap time made the Japanese too expensive a labor force to build the products its engineers designed and the Americans were too expensive to sew cloth so that went to Mexico down the NAFTA pipeline. And here in the Land 'o Cotton, we got to build Mercedes SUVs. Yahoooooo! Ebb and Flo were not just members of the Mothers of Invention; they were also Turtles! Aw gawd, it's Friday, ain't it? len -----Original Message----- From: Mike Champion [mailto:mc@x...] Sometimes this permathread reminds me of Henry Ford, who supposedly said that he would paint his cars whatever color the customer wants, so long as it is black. If black Model T XML works for your customers, great ... but some people seem to want it in blue, with a little more power that requires higher-octane non-standard fuel, and are willing to pay the price.
