So I'm seeing a trend here Porsche vs Ford (wait for it before taking a shot at me):
Both started building a peoples car that ended up making life better for many
both used inovative manufacturing to reduce the cost so people could afford the lower lines and making a quality product for the day.
Both went on to produce sports cars that were the dreams of their makers
Both used this knowledge to build tractors that have stood the test of time.
Ok, I'm done, fire at will.
