What a great quote!
I know this is pretty much off-topic, but yesterday a guy in Lansing (MI) won the $136 million jackpot (he gets something like $59.6 mil after taxes on the one-time payout of $84.3 mil). The 60-year-old found out while working his ~$70,000/year job as a warehous parts man for Ford. They asked him what he'll be driving now. And I quote;
"I worked for Ford Motor Company," he said. "I won't be buying a Ford product."
Gotta love it.

Funny, but also potentialy a sad statement regarding the US automotive industry. Of course quote does leave some room for interpretation.
Anyway, somewhat related - Jaguar and Range Rover being sold!? Are you kidding me? If you can't find a way to turn these brands around and generate some revenue, you def needsome help.
