As you said your no expert, and its only your opinion. The fact is they do make money and the CJ's do help car sales. Ford Racing makes money with all the programs and parts. Its all about the big picture, not just one line of product or car.

People are the same everywhere when it comes to bad news, and the opinions on this subject prove it. Even if there are no real facts or reliable sources they still would believe a story that was posted on the net.
