    Nobody is buying cars right now anyway. Soon there will be nowhere to go in them anyway with everything shut down. Just take it a few miles once in a while so the pads don't bond to the rotors...

    Most of the dealerships I visit have kept most of their staff depending on size of dealership and ownership. No Ford reps are on the road.

    Looks like the decision is at the very least helping their stock price.
