Ford sounds like they are in the "protect ourselves against idiots that put on the spare, then never get it changed" mode. Much like the never to be sufficiently damned "TEMPORARY SPARE" baloney skin that cars came with in the '80's. And yet, you would see idiots driving around on those things for days... Bruce |
