I currently own a 2000 Ford Taurus and a 2003 Ford Expedition. Previous to these two vehicles I owned a ’87 Ford Mustang and a ’95 Ford Thunderbird. The Taurus has been a great car with no problems. The Expedition is outstanding and has had one minor problem, which Ford quickly fixed. However, it is now time to replace the Taurus, but because of this boycott, we are not looking at any Fords. I learned about the boycott about a year and half ago and for this reason, we held off on replacing the Taurus. Now we just cannot wait any longer. I have several family members and friends who feel the same way. We are tired of corporate America participating in political fights which are completely unrelated to their business. I could understand if Ford Motor company was in the fashion industry or a retail chain like Macy’s, but an automaker?
