Another interesting twist I just learned about is that Ford is paying
it's employees a bonus for every vehicle they get someone to buy under
the program. This from yesterday's Wall Street Journal:

"Separately, Ford said on Friday that it will offer its U.S. workers and
retirees up to $1,000 if they can get friends and family to buy vehicles
using special employee discount deals."

WSJ, June 17, 2005, Article titled "GM's 'Employee Discount Offer
Helps Boost Auto Maker's Sales", by Lee Hawkins Jr.
