Hung out with Wizard for a bit yesterday, and the topic of the idea that Taurus may try to buy the Freedom Group.
Wizard: I’m pissed off that Taurus is buying the Freedom Group
Me: Why?
Wizard: It’s… like Ford buying Jaguar
Me: um… That was probably the best move for Jag since Ford came in and told Jag that their cars needed to, uh, work. Hell, even the Top Gear guys* have admitted that Ford did a good job with that.
Wizard: Ok… bad example.
*The Top Gear guys are well known for hating the American car industry.
Bad example yes. But if it had been jaguar buying Ford, it would be accurate. Every Taurus I’ve touched has been garbage.
I want something that works, a Taurus doesn’t always fit that bill.
