LINK I doubt this was the first time. Makes one wonder how much made it over before finally being noticed.

Excerpt:
quote:
Ford dealers, a rental lot, and one customer in the Midwest were surprised by 40-60 pound bags of marijuana in the trunks of their Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs. At least 22 cars manufactured in Ford's Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly plant in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico were carrying about 1,100 lbs of ganja (worth about $1.4 million) into Minnesota.

The drugs were first found in February during a routine inspection at the Dayton’s Bluff vehicle holding lot in St. Paul, MN, while moving them from rail cars to trailers to be taken to dealerships. The giant bags of weed were found hidden in the spare tire well of the trunks.

Champion Safe had somebody at their "Mexican Production Facility" (Prison) loading up gun safes with pot and shipping them to the US.

Mexican weed sux. Build the damn wall.

This thread reminded me of a old boss of mine who found a bag of weed on his sidewalk and called the cops. In front of my boss, two other managers as well as at least 20 peons like myself Damien (my coworker) said "next time you find a bag of the skunk on the sidewalk you DONT call the cops you call me!". I'll never forget the awkward silence after he said that. Big Grin

Been to that plant many times.... Not a big surprise. If you yawn too long they will steal the filings out of your teeth. Most are decent folks, but incredible poverty makes them do crazy things. You take your eyes off your tools for a second and they are gone



Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day

How does a car plant explain a missing spare tire?

You know what I want to find? Bales of US currency off the Jersey shore. Even a small duffle.

I never heard of it being called the "devil's lettuce" before.

Most new cars are not shipping with spare tires today. In its place is a can of fix-a-flat. If you want a spare it's typically an upcharge. For my wife's vehicle, they wanted an extra $400.

How about the Escapes.
Are there any non factory rebates in them like in the Fusions?

Nah, we just didn't catch the ones with the coke.



"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Well, you gotta give them something to go with all the marketing hype surrounding EcoBoost, don't'cha?
