(From Patrick Rishor in KY) ____________________ (http://info.detnews.com/video/index.cfm?id=1189) Ford Assembly Plant In Brazil --- Interesting ... Video was made in Aug 2007. Sure does not look like we should be considering a US Gov. bail-out for industries such as this... They can bail themselves out. They can cook their books to show losses wherever they want or whatever division they may choose and they have in the past. Those are not US citizen workers down there. Looks to me like they have already left our country. This is a video of a new Ford plant in Brazil. One look at this and you will be able to tell why there will probably never be another one built in the USA. It will also point out why more assembly plants will go offshore. http://info.detnews.com/video/index.cfm?id=1189 and.. pay attention to the last few words. It says a lot! Also with this kind of technology and availability of such components if ever available to the general public or assembly shops maybe we can foresee building our own custom versions of AMX's or Javelins or even Cross Country Wagons or Americans. And they can be built as upgradable Electric vehicles or just use available 4 liter 6bangers or 5 liter V8 or?? Might be one way to bring this industry back home again. Here we are with our industries losing in this country but working great in other countries and we are becoming more and more unemployed or under- employed and meanwhile providing work and taxpayer supported homes and food and medical and education for illegal immigrants that we can't seem enforce our laws against. There should be a way out of this mess, huh? Screw'em... we can build our own... and build our 11-12 sec quarter miler home made Electric Racers... and Hybrids, whatever... _____________________________ Ralph Ausmann - Hillsboro, OR - _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
