have you ever bought a nice new expensive car because it seemed like a good idea, then found out your house needed a new roof so you had to sell the new car to pay for the roof?

The museum is fine. I took my son to it's IMAX the other weekend.

What cracks me up is Ford is bleeding and rather treat the wound appropriately, they just put a band-aid on it. It was like when they sold Hertz, even though every analyst told them "not to sell Hertz, because it will not make a difference". They have a chitty front office, and will be bought out eventually due to ineptness and stubbornness.
