David Snyder Quotations

Ultimately, consumers benefit in a market that invites as much competition as possible.

We have to grow our dealer body - we are going to need a significant number of dealers to sell our product. We have to really improve what they call the consideration funnel, where customers actually will consider Ford.

What we lack is a coordinated public information system in the event of a major incident. What we need is a system that will function instantaneously and automatically every time. . . . That doesn't exist now.

This raises profound questions for taxpayers as to what their tax dollars go for. If they don't go for essential services, what is their money being spent on?

Make clear to your sales staff that they are expected to sell in all mediums, that it's not enough to sell only one. Set aggressive but realistic sales goals. There has to be a disincentive so that people know that there are consequences to not hitting their online goal, even if they hit the print goal.

China is our number one priority. Their market has opened much more slowly than we had anticipated.

Red light cameras can help communities enforce traffic laws by automatically photographing vehicles whose drivers run red lights. A nationwide study of fatal crashes at traffic signals in 1999 and 2000 estimated that 20 percent of the vehicles involved failed to obey signals. In 2004 alone, more than 900 people were killed, and an estimated 168,000 were injured, in crashes that involved red light running. About half of all deaths in red light running crashes are pedestrians and occupants in other vehicles who are hit by the red light runners.

We prefer United for its service and because it covers most national routes,

The existing insurance rates capture all relevant risks. After the proposed changes, the rates will be less accurate.

We weren't supposed to do it. But everybody is so fed up.

Everyone's looking at this to see if it will really reach significant numbers of people who are otherwise not reachable.

Continuing our export program is just one part of a larger effort to gather momentum for Ford in China.

No one wants to pay taxes, but we understand that in order to have a first-class transportation system ... we've got to pay the price.

A little bit here and a little bit there, we are attempting to address the transportation infrastructure needs. I think the big difference here is the Senate is proposing long-term sustainable structural financing, which is exactly what you need.

The new rates will be more politically and special interest-driven. Current insurance pricing reflects what's really occurring on the highways.

Even with these taxes, adequate revenues would not have been generated to really get us out of the mess we are in.

It's worth it, ... You're going to pay for it over 30 years, and I think it's an important regional improvement.

I want the attorney general to remove Mr. Penn from the council race until such time as he does not possess a conflict of interest as outlined in my complaint.

They weren't doing anything wrong. They were just sitting there,

I mean, at this time, who knows? Maybe it ends up being a collection of shops and offices. Maybe it ends up being residential and offices. Maybe it has a Starbucks.

If he can't fly United, we charge the tickets on his American Express card and transfer the miles to other airlines.
