Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike::Ford is laying off workers while the UAW is striking against Ford, GM, and Stellantis. This is getting complicated.

Counterpoint: drove a 92 Ford ranger into the fucking ground. That truck was an absolute soldier. I took shit care of it, my neighbor cut my fuel line and I held it together with a clamp and a sock, I got in 4 accidents in it.

Absolute beast of a vehicle.

The old ones were tanks! I was bummed when mine went south.

The only thing that stopped my 92 Ranger was another vehicle hitting it at high speed, otherwise it’d still be choochin up the mountains today. Got an Edge and once again only real problems are impact based from a crash but it goes everywhere

My '96 Ranger is at a quarter million miles and still going.
