In 2000, a bean counter was replaced by a patriotic American (an innovator). We all saw the results. Ford Motor started making profits and record profits 8 and ten years because car guys started designing. Meanwhile disasters, such as a hybrid (Chevy's Volt) cannot even recharge its own battery. A bean counter trophy. Similar to what was designed in Ford before 2000.

Only a fool today buys a car with an obsolete technology (shit) V-8 engine. That same fool loves (just like George Jr) to destroy American jobs. Meanwhile the NY Times discusses the luggage of Craig Daitch. On 8 Mar 2013 at Packing 123 Horsepower Into 3 Cylinders:
Quote:
Typically, that cylinder block would be crated and shipped as cargo, with loading handled by forklift drivers. But this time Mr. Daitch stuffed the engine block into his suitcase and checked it onto the flight after passing through airport security.

At 52 pounds, the cast-iron block of Ford's new 1-liter EcoBoost engine is a bantamweight among automobile power plants. (Mr. Daitch didn't even incur an overweight bag fee.) With the total capacity of its three cylinders equal to the volume of a large soft-drink bottle, it's also tiny: placed upright on a desk, the block fits easily within the edges of a file folder.
That's a 123 horsepower engine. Doing what the Honda S-2000 was doing a decade ago. IOW what Americans could have done if Ford Motor and American workers not been under attack by business school trained managers. Who hate innovation; who do not even drive cars.

So what happens when a car guy has a fight with a bean counter so violent that security was called to separate the men? Eventually a good man replaced a turd who did more to destroy America than Nikita Krushchev. Mr Daitch carried in his luggage what happens when Americans are allowed to innovate. 123 horsepower per liter.
