Agreed on the UAW. I grew up in Michigan and worked in the plants as a shop sweeper in high school. That was all I needed to see.

The Boss only buys used automobiles gifting the initial depreciation expense to some other lucky buyer.

He does favor classic cars, made well before the bailout and other preferential treatment as you have so correctly noted.

In that regard, I suspect that if pressed to buy a new car, it would likely be a Ford.

The Boss thinks that the UAW is a scourge upon the land.

BRC – Does the boss still buy American autos given the bailouts and the preferential treatment shown to the UAW at the expense of the senior bondholders? I know the boss is a staunch capitalist and patriot. Somewhat conflicting in this day and age.

Points n Figures —

Do you want me to tell The Boss he is likely aggressive and reckless?

We already knew that.

We did not need a study to tell us that. The guy will bite the ass off a bear before dawn.

What color is your car?

People who drive red cars are more aggressive and reckless, shows a study from CW Marketing Research. The Oregon-based firm also found people with green cars have the most positive outlook on life, dark blue or silver-car owners are upbeat, and black car owners lack self-confidence. Why? A growing body of research shows certain visual cues–such as colors–are tied to emotional and behavioral cues in your brain. These cues can influence the colors you find appealing depending on your personality type, according to a University of Cambridge study. (And while you’re in the car, make sure to eat smart.
