When I got satellite and found out they didn't have BBC America, I cancelled them the next day. I could not tell you about any shows on the "other" major networks, but I would be willing to try out the History Channel?

Not the Discovery, Science, or Speed, but the History Channel?
Note to self:

Take 1 snow board, 2 jet engines, and a very long hill.

Don't foget camera and first aid kit.
Please note:

Ranger = BroncoII = Explorer

Volvo S80 = Ford Fivehundred = Freestyle = Explorer

Mazda626 = Ford Monedo = Ford Contour = Escape

Mazda6 = Ford Mondeo = Ford Fusion = Ford Edge

Ford F150 = Expedition

The Explorer was pretty much an unworthy offroader after the second iteration and then the independent rear. Sad, but not missed by most consumers that were really looking at payments and interior content. Ford was all too willing to sell them every amenity and augment finances to keep the units moving. When the monthly cost for fuel out stripped their payments that is when economy became important.

"Soccer Mom’s" still preferred the minivan, but Ford fell behind and left that market to the competition.

The planned closings of three pants for 2012 have not been announced and will add addition stress to the economy. This is merely part of the plan to continue to consolidate platforms and move all car manufacturing outside the borders, while keeping the still profitable truck lines in the US.
I was always partial to:
Could they please have picked a better name for a scifi movie character?Dren:Basically means shit. Originated from the television show FarScape."You dren hole" "What is that piece of dren?" "Dren"
@Bustedknuckles: Agree, from pretty to pretty unimpressed. I would be afraid of what might run down it or tangling with it.
@IN THE FACE!: I just chew the beans and wash it down with some water.
iPad . . . eyepatch, yeah they both hamper driving . . . r r r, where's me sink? Sorry I like cars, not so much the gadgets. I worked for Ford, now I work for a battery company that wants to make batteries for a car company.
@lilwillie: Come on now don't be hatin' on a car 'cus it got apps. If I can't park it from my table at Cheli's and bring it up when I'm ready to roll. It's not an app.
@morcheeba: I remember the first electronic assist steering felt more like feed back from a bad video game than a real car. BMW issued a "service bulletin" to fix the issue (their mistake).
@scroggzilla raids again: You guys are really starting to get my hope up, stop that. I must still be depressed that Ford has yet to bring the real thing to our shores. Passenger Rightside Navigator, Driver Left (PRNDL).
@Schm, enjoying his first desert winter. .: That's a very nice. Any similarities to any person living or dead is purely coincidental and the imagination of the author. There I think I got ya covered from jonny law, time for scene 2. Enter slim built man, helmet, and racing suit sliding into the cockpit of an Enzo at the ring. Lights flash and the engine springs to life . . .
@Scandinavian Flick: Well the gas pedal is not really connected, why should the clutch. It is the ultimate driving machine, that you no longer actually drive.
@reateretrate: That's where I get all my vitamins, oh wait . . . never mind.
@Quattro-luvr: Not to pick, but those are Euro plates and the antenna is in the wrong place for a Sebring. Though have seen similar off Lake Saint Clair, near Grosse Pointe. [www.bing.com]
How about anything with Fender vents, real or imagined?
@cgarison: I think the Pacifica was really the first attempt which lasted how long again? Now if Toyota and Honda are doing it must be right, right?Just let them vale any issues with a service bulletin, because we all know their quality is sooo much better than anything 'merican made . . . er . . . designed.
@oddseth: Yes, they just don't like making them in the US. They preferred profit to content (vehicles and customers).
@ApexRally: I think the Magnum Died in 2008? Magnum PI is still doing movies though, but not mentioning Detroit heritage.
Ben, did you really have to show that arse? I'm talking about the deer, of course.
