Had a 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV that was amazing. 2 doors, 5 ashtrays. Green shag carpet and white leather seats.

Fords can be either junk or alright. Anything with a 5.3 you are ok with. 5.0 coyote is a horse shit engine. Depends on the year

My gift to the world. .
My gift to the world. [Jerry Lee Lewis singing about his favorite Ford, baby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF1RrOQvonY).
I personally know of a Ford with 250k miles on it (has the 00's era 3.0L V6), never had any major work done to it other than routine maintenance. And it both purrs and roars I tell you what. I see Crown Vic's from the 80's still on the road today pretty frequently. I know of F-x50's work trucks from the 80's-90's that just won't die.
But I also know of same model and model year vehicles mentioned above that didn't last. Then there are Ford Exploders... smh...
Have to say that yes, certain model Fords can go the distance; depending on A) how drunk/hungover the assembly plant was that day, and B) how well they're maintained.

I've had nothing but good luck with the 4 Ford trucks I've had.
I'd probably have nothing but good luck with Chevy and Dodge trucks too though. I'm really fucking lucky.

Ford
- 25-30% declining sales MoM against 2020
- 140b in debt
- Spent 7b in cash for an EV plant partnership that won't materialize for at least a year.
- Closed its plant in Mexico due to chip shortages.
- Domestic plants are running at 50-60% capacity due to chip shortages.
- Ford got rid of FICO score requirements for its 84 month loan.
- Average new vehicle prices hit a record in 2021.
- 90 day Delinquencies are hovering at 5% and only receded during the stimulus checks.
It's hard to advocate a short position in markets with all of the free money and inflation, but I feel like the auto sector is it. Tell me how you could value a company like Ford higher with the current fundamentals.
