Re: THE END OF MERCURY
I was thinking of those little dastardly mercury tip switches the IRA used to like to attach to some semtex and stick under our cars in the old days...

Re: THE END OF MERCURY
Thank God...another corporate soulless piece of junk. Ride like a whaler in high seas and used oil like a WWII Destroyer.
Just a hobby for Ford.
Quote............ "The automaker's board of directors approved ending the brand Wednesday morning. Ford Americas President Mark Fields said the decision was made this spring as part of an annual business review. He said Mercury's sales make up such a small percentage of North American market share — less than 1 percent, compared with Ford brand's 16 percent — and that the profile of Ford and Mercury shoppers is so similar, it makes more sense to focus on Ford and Lincoln." ................Unquote.
