      It looks like they're scraper bots.  They don't seem to be doing anything except crawling the whole site.

      Ford has seemed to really drop the ball in recent years.  trinacriabob's post on Saturday about 20 years on C&G got me thinking, had to look...I joined August 21, 2005 so it's been 20 years this year for me also.  That date was coincidentally, my late brother's 56th birthday--an age I'm 7 months from now.   Life moves in mysterious ways at times.

      Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing

      If there was no tariff on Chinese cars, I think by 2050 GM and Ford would be done.  It would take the Chinese companies 10 years to build factories and dealer network, but once they had that and cars were flowing in, the domestics would be screwed.  GM has a few winners at least like the Trax and the Yukon/Suburban that are segment leaders, a decent EV line up.  But not offering car play, having some hit or miss quality vehicles, some lackluster stuff like the Equinox and Blazer, etc, there is enough for the Chinese to exploit.  Ford would be easy to put away, they rely on fleet and commercial sales, if Chinese come in with low prices, business buyers who care about the bottom line will buy them.

      Interesting read, seems ford is looking for another cheap way to make money without actually investing in engineering. Ford gave up on beating China on batteries and cut a deal instead Ford clearly is giving up on EVs as it looks to commercial battery packs for storage to make money. They are giving up on being a leader in the Auto sector. Wonder how Henry Ford would have felt about this, also it does rais the question, how long till Ford as an Auto company is dead. Trucks, a few SUVs and falling farther behind in all auto fronts tells me Ford is not a stock work investing in.
