I am a dyed-in-the-wool Ford fan. I love their products, forgive their mistakes (like the unwise change of the design of the Taurus), and I drive Fords. My large family of siblings drives Fords, including brothers, sisters, parents, and my personal family, with many kids in college and on both sides of college. Trucks, vans, sedans, mercury products, the lot, we have driven them since 1965. BUT NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a decision almost two years ago when I first learned of the boycott. I have been very vocal about it with my family, telling them not to buy Fords, and why. I actually waited for Ford to drop their offensive advertising. Finally, I could not wait any longer. In December 2007, I had to buy a car, and it had to be something other than a Ford.

Now, I must buy another vehicle in the next month or two (the youngest college kid was hit by an unlicensed driver in January 2008, so that car is toast). Unless Ford changes, I will go to Chrysler or foreign from now on, forever.

It was really hard this last time I bought a car. I wanted to go see my Ford dealer to look at vehicles. I went, but not to look. I walked into the manager’s office and told him about the boycott. I told him to call Ford and get them to change their position, so I could buy another vehicle, and probably two.

Now that I have made the break, it will be easy to stay away until Ford comes back to me. You abuse my confidence; you lose my business. You have great engineering, foolish management, and absolutely offensive executives who support homosexual lifestyles. Ford obviously does not need my money. Fine. I do not need them to destroy the society I live in. They shall not have my money to support causes that destroy this civilization.
