Ten cars out… fourth on our [...]

So, I always wondered what it must be like to work for a company that evangelical action groups target for a boycott or some other demonstration. Now I know!
This is ludicrous… Not only does Ford NOT sponsor the show in question, Pontiac did in fact sponsor the episode… funny how that was not [...]
