I hope you've changed your socks more than seven times in the last quarter century. Advertising writers change jobs frequently. That's the only way to get large increases. In my 25 years in the ad biz, I've worked at seven different agencies on the business of at least ten car companies, so I'm really beholding to no one. I'm now working on a Japanese brand. Before I was an ad writer, I was an automotive journalist. I did freelance work for many magazines. I had a permanent arrangement with Popular Mechanics for many years. I never worked for Popular Science, but I knew most of their writers. They may well have wrongly attributed blame for the tire problems to Ford. Like all truck-based SUVs, the Explorer was a compromise. Any vehicle with a lot of ground clearance can be rolled if you try hard enough. Unfortunately, Explorer had the crappiest tires of any truck-based SUVs, and it was sold in the most volume. Thus, it had the most rollovers. If Ford is at all to blame, it would be for using Firestone tires. Paul On Jan 16, 2008, at 12:14 AM, William Robb wrote:
