Popa, I don't bash on Ford owners except in jest, but I mean every word when I bash on the actual cars. After the trouble my family and I have had with Fords over the years, I've earned the right. 
Ask the NHTSA, Ford cars have the highest rate of recalls, investigations, and service bulletins in the industry.

I see more and more "other car" owners in here and where does it stop. As far as I'm concerned... this Club is losing it'* true purpose and identity. The lounge has especially become this way.
It isnt so much about which is better, it'* about what the Club is and who the members are. If I owned a Ford and wanted to talk about it, repairing it. and how great it was... I would join a Ford Forum. Other GM brands that share same platforms and engines, sure. But if we dont draw a line soon this is going to be just like any other Social forum. Next we might as well start a Civic section
i.e. Dont like the heat here

I think this club is more about car enthusiasts coming together, and the common theme is ultimately to celebrate the Bonneville. Sure, MyLittleBlackBird doesn't own a Bonnie, but he has developed a lot of respect for the 3800 Series 2, and has invested a lot of time and sweat into my Bonneville. It would be one thing if there were Ford guys here who hated the Bonneville, but the fact is everyone who continues to be active in this community has some kind of respect and attachment to the Bonneville or 3800 V6.
If we started limiting membership to those who only own a Bonneville, we would be missing out on a TON of pertinent technical information and helpful personalities. And we would have to kick out one of our Administrators, among other things. As long as you respect the Bonneville and participate in positive conversations about the car, you're more than welcome in my book.
