Ford is doing better and will have a more competitive line up in less then three years.

He's f*cking 90 for gawd's sake. Somebody mentioned Heffner. Now that's what he should be doing. I'd rather die with a smile on my face than have it all end worrying about some bs car shares. …but why is he doing it? He’s f*cking 90 for gawd’s sake. Somebody mentioned Heffner.

Let him up his stake to 5.6%--that's not enough to make any difference. It'll be GM all over again. He was very vocal about GM's need to merge with (at least "talk with") Nissan, but in the end none of his share-buying 90-year-old shoutin' ways made a dent in the commitment of either company. LLN says Kirk's got something up his sleeve. As observed by our Canadian friend, johnnycanuck, just like that IV up his sleeve, whatever his Ford plans are, they're for his benefit only. What on earth could Kirk do to help out Ford? I think Kerkorkian is surrounded by too much hype. Let him up his stake to 5.6%–that’s not enough to make any difference. It’ll be GM all over again.

What the hell does any of your posts have to do with anything? Big fucking deal he delivered planes, saved babies, smacked Hitler...this is about what he is/can/will do to Ford. Personally I think it's a good sign. He wouldn't be investing heavily in them if he didn't see something worthwhile- now whether that's them turning things around or him wanting to sell it off to some equity firm is another story!
