Goodbye Mercury, We will miss thee.

[Frank The Plumber]

A sad farewell to our fallen friend, lost in the board room battles. No more Mercury. This explains why we have not seen many commercials for you as of late, with the cute brunette. A moment of silence for our fallen Marque.
Mercury, son of Ford, 1939-2010, RIP, amen.

Pretty soon we will have just Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Datsun, Toyadda, and Humduh. Sad, but not shocking, since we have waved goodbye to Plymouth, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac.

I really miss Nash , Hudson and Packard. Where was their bail out. It won't be long before China enters the auto race and then we'll be bailing out Toyota. During the WWii we built 8 Battleships,22 aircraft carriers. 600 support ships. Along with 10, of thousands of aircraft, tanks, trucks, etc. Don't fixata the blame, Fixata problems.

My mother had a 1956 Mercury when she met my father; maybe that's why he began dating her. I can't believe that Pontiac is gone. They should have kept a special Hi-performance model to sell at GMC.
