[DMCForum] Re: Decadent pleasures denied Martin G

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would definitely agree with you about our engines say 10 years ago 
but we are putting smaller, more powerful engines in our cars now.

The standard (desireable) engine for a Mustang -was- a 302 or 351, 
later we just started calling it a Mustang 5.0. 

Now, they're down to 4.6 and putting out more horsepower than either 
of those engines ever did. I'd say we've seen the light. It wasn't 
taxes that did it to us over here tho..it was consumer advocate 
groups and enviromental groups.

You can say all you want about "Yank Tanks". Mercedes may have 
invented the automobile but Henry Ford made it something we could all 
have and that we all would want.
