I just got hired as a temp at Ford… If the new Edge doesn’t make it, then Ford is done for…
they are pulling out all the stops.
still, kinda lame-o
And I’m not a Ford guy at all, actually one of the most dedicated euro car guys out there, but if I can make a difference and help improve an ailing car manufacturer, so be it.

HATE the grille and the taillights on that thing.
I don’t know what Ford is thinking with that “chrome” on the front of all their new cars. I guess they don’t realize that it looks tacky and looks like shit.

Keeping in mind that ford has financed their losses over the next 2 years against their factories and knowledge, that thing really makes me think that Ford is committing suicide. I think they want to die and be reborn so that the can implement a profitible business plan without unions. Why else would they bet the farm on a run of the mill SUV?
But yeah, ball drop \> Ford drop. But I"ll be drunk at a wedding in Rochester so what do I care? Open bar dudes!

this ball drop is at “first night, buffalo’s alcohol-free new year’s celebration”
anyone actually going loses the required coolness points to talk.

Dropping a car is a stupid idea. But the fact that its a Ford shouldn’t make it “bad.” Why don’t they drop an Audi Ultrasport and that shit can burst into flames like Pat’s did. How about a Vette so it can flip like whoa, as they have at the track? No, even better, why not a DSM- they could just attach it to a winch cable from a flatbed so they wouldn’t even have to call a truck after its broke.
Cavaliers = :hang:

They definetly should be dropping the ball still, but if they have to drop a car, a ford is a good choice as long as they actually drop it and not just lower it. If they drop it that would be good, at least entertaining
