While we were very busy this week bringing you the latest Ford product news from the 2011 LA Auto Show, many of you were busy downloading Ford Social badges, posting Your Stories and submitting Your Ideas. In particular, there were some great stories posted about the experience real customers have had with their Ford trucks and SUVs. Of course all the conversation around the 2013 Escape and Shelby GT500 has been interesting to follow too. We hosted several live chats with leaders from Ford who took questions and talked online about all of these new products.

Check out what your fellow Ford fans posted on Ford Social this week, as well as the articles we created:
