Note that only one of the banking CEOS was fired / forced out (Ken Lewis)

Accountability starts at the bottom in the US now

I have a lot of family in MN. A couple of observations

1) materialism is up in MN (BMW over Buicks) but it is still a lot lower than in CA
2) cost of living in MN is pretty high for the midwest (heating, taxes) so it’s not all roses
3) the twin cities has property that pencils (rent vs own). Wow, that’s novel compared to CA
4) don’t discount the natural beauty in MN (boundary waters, X-country skis in the winter)
5) the boy and toys boat / SUV culture is strong in MN

Placerville is an interesting choice. CA taxes but the mountain lifestyle

I don’t think the Expedition example works b/c Expeditions aren’t driven the same way as the Mustangs are (I hope). Also aren’t Expeditions built on F150 frames? I think the F150 is built ‘Ford tough’ while a Ford car may not be

The Camaro is not a fair example b/c it’s a redeveloped product that was previously uncompetitive. Love it or hate it, the Mustang has always sold well so you have some Ford engineers saying don’t fix it if it ain’t broke and the Ford money guys focused on other things (Volvo, Jag, other brands) and other markets.

Regarding the driveline stress, are you considering the aspect of sudden change / stress? I.E. is a stoplight clutchdrop start the same as pushing 2-3 tons of SUV or towing a boat?

I would love the Stang to have IRS but a combination of tradition and pennypinching will block it
