#364Back in the nineties Ford ran a lot of ads about how quality was job one. But in the last twenty years their quality declined by a large amount at the same time other brands were getting better. I say that as a lifelong fan of Ford, quality was why I left the brand two years ago.
Ebbs and flows with these companies. If you got used to driving in the 70s then the FORD meme was “Fix Or Repair Daily”.

The other classic one is, “What’s Ford backwards? Driver Returns On Foot.”

The wisdom to understand that velocity is not equal to value; and the optimism that this will all end at some point.
