But it still beaks down and there is down time. Two Ford's (spit) will
mean
no down time.

and of course two lots of Road Fund License, Insurance, two parking spaces,
along with two resident's permits (if necessary, and the second permit is
often heavily loaded if there isn't a second person in the household to
register it against), two lots of natural resources and energy required to
make the thing in the first place, two lots of annual servicing bills (and
decent independent BMW, Volvo et al services aren't that much more expensive
than Fords - if you want to see high service & parts bills try buying one of
the higher end Hondas) etc etc.

But then this only applies in the real world...
