He likes jazz and Big Band music, but has no hobbies. His close friends tend to come from outside the auto industry, and he has made a point of avoiding the social circles of "Mister Ford," as lacocca and other Ford executives respectfully call their ruler. lacocca once explained, "I don't want to be fired for something I said to Mister...
