This strategy does not pass "the car test" - we would not accept Ford to tell us to "just buy another car and let insurance figure out how to reimburse you for the busted one".

I doubt there are nearly as many people on HN making even one entry level Ford Focus a month in salary. Along a similar line of reasoning, I totally understand if Coca-Cola bans soft drinks from Pepsi on campus. But I would be much less understanding of Ford banning non-Ford cars in their employee parking lots.
