Someone called?
Not that I really care, but Ford does have one very good point going for them in that competitors names are usually not said (think the Bounty paper towel commercials with the "Leading Brand" comparison). Legally speaking, Ford could actually seek damages.
10 Nimitz Class, which is correctly stated in the article. The 11th nuclear powered is the Enterprise. The law requires 11, and why you think 12 in service with a decommissioned ship is unknown to me.
LOL at India and our government. I dare you to call a Filipino or Indian to their face. Many laughs will ensue.
While the Philippines are geographically close to Asia, I have never heard anyone call them Asians.

Reverse: Canadian made tires are dangerous.
In all seriousness, I took this picture this morning on my Cruze (wearing Goodyear Assurance tires) after I noticed the odd placement of the Made In Canada stamp while filling the tires with air. Picture of the Cruze: [i43.tinypic.com]
Ocean Dr in Jensen Beach (Take exit 101 off I-95 heading to ocean). Intercoastal on one side, ocean on the other, big homes, condos, and three pretty awesome bridges.
Do yourself a favor, google 4545 S Ocean Dr, Jensen Beach, FL. Go to streetview, and then imagine all of the front of that house covered with enough lights to put a 200-amp service to shame. #oppositelock
MyLincoln Touch, now with upgraded MS Stynk
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were tracks to hoon and gas to waste
He learned to walk while I was away
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were tracks to hoon and gas to waste
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was driving ‘fore I knew it and as he grew
He’d say, "I’m gonna be like you, NSX
You know, I’m gonna be like you"
Chorus:
And the stick’s in first and the gas is to the floor
Making Lamborghini cry from 9 to 5
"When you coming home, NSX?" "I don’t know when
But I’ll teach you to drive proper then, son, you know we’ll have a good time then"
When my son turned ten just the other day
Said "Thanks for the carburetor, come on and let’s play
Can you teach me to row?" I said, "Not today
I got more tracks to hoon" he said, "That’s okay"
And he walking away but I knew he was goin’ to stray
Said, "I’m gonna do it better than him, yeah
You know, I’m gonna not be quite like him"
Chorus
Well, he came home from driving school just the other day
So much like a geeky ricer car I had to say
"Son, I’m disappoint in you, can you sit for awhile?"
He shook his head and he said with his beak smile
"What I’d really like, NSX, is to do away with your manual ways
See you later
I’m better than the old ways"
Chorus
Well, I’ve long since been decommissioned and my son’s getting closer to the front stage
Called him up just the other day
I said, "Let’s hoon around a track if you don’t mind"
He said, "I’d love to dad, if I could find the time"
"You see, my new job’s a hassle, and I’m used to go to the mall
But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad
I realize now I should have followed after you"
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He’d learn the hard way
He should have listened to me
Chorus
"It's also the only trim available with a six-speed manual transmission"
Do want.

* - Due to American obesity and obsession for large conveyances, station wagons have evolved to minivans and SUVs/CUVs. While some station wagons are still sold in the US, their extinction is almost certain.
"I'm just sucking on them"
Pics or it didn't happen. :P #oppositelock
That sucks, but I'll try to remember what I said:
We really appreciate the middle seat LATCH in the middle row. We have the car seat there and two booster seats in the back and even our 4 year old can operate the middle row outboard seat to move forward and get out.
One thing I didn't like about Honda is their packaging schemes. It would be really nice to pick some options and leave others off without having to jump to higher trims (i.e., Touring Elite to get BSI or HID).
If you ever need feedback/family testing, let me know. I'm a nuclear engineer and I am very picky about stuff. It literally took me months to decide.

Also, I just got back from a trip today and took special attention to the seatbelts. I noticed they are softer than most normal belts, and there was a metal piece on the plastic guide attached to the pillars. I was quite impressed by the detail. I wonder what other hidden features it has.
Let me know if you got my reply to your message. I have a bad feeling Nibbles ate it.

The truck driver reported that the whole experience has been quite nerve wracking and that he now has...wait for it...Schweddy Balls.

Here is my analysis of the Minivan market (new):
Nissan Quest has the best dash and seating position, but the middle and back row seats are awful and have little leg room compared to competitors.
Toyota Sienna is an ergnomic failure and my 2004 was far superior to anything on the parking lot. Also, the seat belt buckles didn't come away from the seat cushion, making buckling kids with booster seats in very difficult.
Chrysler T&C seemed pretty nice, but I couldn't get over the stigma of Chrysler, and the middle and back row seats were awful, but at least had more leg room than Quest.
Honda Odyssey seemed to maintain quality from the bean counters (unlike the failure of the Sienna). Has a fairly simple dash layout (we got EX-L without nav or dvd), materials are good, and seats are high, firm, and comfortable all around. The seat belts are good, and are easy for the kids to buckle themselves in.
While the T&C might have more storage with those little foot-well areas and such, I think the Odyssey more than makes up for lack of features, nooks & crannies, etc. by having better seats with lots of legroom. That's what a minivan is for in my mind, giving people space. Also, the Odyssey has the best MPG of any of the vans out there, even with the 5-speed, which I'm sure they've worked all the kinks out by now.
Yes, they do. Maximum-Sienna (2004) is now Maximum-Odyssey (2012).
