What Ford to test drive??
Got an ad in the mail today...a free $50 gift card from "Chey Tar-jay" if I test drive a Ford.
Cindy wants the gift card. So, what should I test drive? I'm thinking Fusion...aren't those the same cars they race in NASCAR???

Its too bad we don't get the Mondeo that they test drove on Top Gear, that would be a cool little car. Like the old Contour SVT.

Cobra. May as well get your kicks while getting abused by a salesman.
Actually, I've heard very good things about the Cobra. Incidentally, isn't the Target NASCAR car a Chevrolet? I dunno, but it'd be weird if it is, and the $50 gift card is co-sponsored by Ford.

How abouts you test drive a large truck to your house.
Drain the gas and return it. Big truck, bigger gas tank.

Go to Target and buy Cindy a gift card. Dealing with the salesman ain't worth the 50 bones. Life is waaaaay too short.

I need to take my '93 F150 in for a recall and am thinking about test driving a F350 4X4, crewcab, diesel, manual tranny truck.

Actually, MikeSid may have the better idea...but hey, I'm retired, got nothing better to do. Also, when I drive by the local dealership, those salesman look very lonely.

SVT focus. Someone had to say it. Supposed to be a pretty sweet little car.

Too bad the GT is out of production, that was a great machine. Mustang is a fun ride too, make sure you get a V8. otherwise, whats the point?
