Time for some good news, I have a 30 mile a day commute to work and back. With the "ECO" cruise control set between 55-60mph I am averaging 46.5 mpg.

In 2006 I was homeless and living in a Walmart parking lot with my Rottweiler and housecat in Denver, Colorado in a 1975 Chevy van. By 2009 I was speaking at Oxford University in the UK at TED Global, courtesy of author, speaker and former speech writer for Al Gore, Dan Pink. A lot can happen in a f

Mother's Day 2013 turned into the most memorable mother's day for our family to date. My parents were in their F-150 truck pulling a trailer with all of my belongings (I was moving home from school). As they went to pass a semi-truck near Drummond, Montana, the trailer began to wobble. Driving beh

Growing up there were a couple of Mustangs on our block. I always thought they were the coolest vehicles. I shared this with my Dad. Apparently he thought they were pretty cool too. One day he said that he knew someone selling a 1965 Mustang. I was ready to buy. We traveled two hours to Cedar Rapids

I have a 2004 f-150 Heritage, and I have two of the original tires that came on the truck when I bought it, in April 2004! They currently have over 113,000 miles on them, and still have about 30% of tread wear left! My tire guys shake their heads every time I go in and say, "Still got them?"

My dad bought his first car, a 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe, fresh off the lot in his early 20’s. Of course I had no idea of this fact until I started dating (and later married) a guy who had grown up restoring classic mustangs with his dad. My dad talked about the day he went down to the dealership an

I accidently left my cell phone on the running board of my Escape and drove aprox 8 miles on an interstate highway then on a back road and up a bumpy driveway . My cell phone never fell off the running board. I left my sons house and wanted to make a call when I realized I had left the phone on the

First of all I have to say I love my Ford and I am sure my wife and dog love my Ford I take them for a ride every day.....I will admit that there are quite a few things that I have not figured out yet and it has been eight months that I have had it...I am an old man of 75 years and techagie has pa

We were hit by the largest tornado ever recorded on Friday 31 May 2013 in my truck. The EF-5 tornado had winds measured as high as 296 mph. My 2011 F-150 was picked up, thrown, and rolled about four times before coming to rest in a wheat field 100 yards away from where we started. We all walked a

My Dad passed on in 2003 and left a small insurance policy for my three siblings and me to divide evenly. My sibs took vacations and I placed a down payment on my Zinc Yellow Mustang GT premium convertible with leather and 5 speed stick. I always wanted a Boss 302 but could not afford to aquir

To the Ford Motor Company, 5-23-2013 I wanted to pass along my story to you about how grateful I am to have owned a Ford! Back in 2000, not long after my mother passed from cancer, I went back to school at age 40 and became a licensed massage therapist. I bought my mom’s car from my si

We left for vacation from Marietta, GA headed due east, to the beach. Our 2003 Ford Windstar, 10 years old, had been rock solid. We'd even taken it to our mechanic to make sure everything was alright. About 1/3 of the way there, the van started to hiccup while accelerating. With two kids in the car
