FORD BACK WITH FIRESTONE?
In other news, Ford said his company is working to rebuild its long-time
relationship with tire supplier Bridgestone/Firestone, though that may
take a good time to resolve the differences that rose up as the result of
two recalls involving millions of Firestone Wilderness AT tires. The
latest callback cost the automaker $3 billion and Ford said the automaker
will "explore creative ways" by which Firestone may help cover some of
those costs.

Since the Ford and Firestone families are intermarried it is only a matter of time till they get back together.

I'm sure that grandmom was talking about it at the family Christmas dinner table.

FORD HEALING FIRESTONE WITH TURF
According to some reports, Ford and Firestone are trying to put their
troubles behind them. How about under them, too? Ward's Auto, a trade
publication, reports that the new Detroit Lions football stadium will
sport an artificial turf made up in part by ground-up, recalled Firestone
tires. The new stadium - to be named Ford Field after the team's owner,
William Clay Ford Sr., the father of Ford Motor Company chief Bill Ford
Jr. - is expected to open in August and will host the 2006 Super Bowl.
