Awesome, way to go Ford. 

Is this Canada's first supercar since the Bricklin?

Oh, and SCREW YOU GM!

  A stunning car. If it sounds like the Ganassi DP car with the same engine it won't be much to listen to unfortunately.

some of my clients that work for manufacturing companies are telling me orders have now been picking up, in the last month.   

Today manufacturing data came out ahead of expectations and that's for December.... which I still don't think will really show the impact the dollar is starting to have.   

January / Febuary reports should the real indicator.

I think it is decades ago.    Looking up Katz road on Google maps does not show anywhere with an intersection..
