bet this should help boost sales!!! there is nothing like owning a highly tuned ford (Fix Or Repair Daily) with no warranty, that sounds awesome! you have about the same odds with that kinda money being drunk in vegas.

Yep. Company went bankrupt. New owners bought the assets including the name but not the liabilities.
