The Little Car That Could

This winter Columbia, Missouri got 24 inches of snow. My mother’s SUV got stuck in the snow yet my little Ford Escort got me to school and back everyday. It drove on ice and snow for about three months. It started when it was -20 degrees without hesitation.

Recently, there was a dead deer in the road. My little escort hit it at 60 miles an hour. Did it stop? No! That little car kept going, not a speck of blood on it.

My little Ford is showing everyone who is the boss of the road- the Escort!

Thanks Ford for making my car “Built Ford Tough!”

Gas is so expensive. I cant see it getting any cheaper.......ever..... which makes me look at at the ecoboost 3.5TT. but to get it I have to own an explorer sport(which I do own, nice suv) or a F150. ( I don't like the Taurus. Are the cars these days getting bigger?). I would love to own a $37000 mustang Gt with Brembo brakes but $37k is crazy. gas is crazy. for someone with kids, wife, Home, wife. Why can't there be a bare bones sports car. keep the leather keep all the electronics, all the Extra bling, sound deadening, anything to keep the cost down and the car lite. the 3.5 motor is capapble of putting out some big HP with a little bit more boost. All of these cars have gotten bigger but they still put 245 tires on these Sports cars. How about 275's all around to give the car a closer 50/50 corner weight front to back. Atleast bigger in the back and fill up that Wheelwell. You could put a slight flare in the fender and roll any lip of the fender so it doesn't interfere with the tire. Just design it with a purpose. Ok I think i'm done. lol
