Special Person, Special Car.............

A few years ago when G M was stopping production of the Pontiac and the Saturn I had a 2006 G6 convertible and a 07 DTS at the same time. I wanted to lease a 2010 GMC SUV. GM decided they didn’t want me to be leasing two of their cars and buying a third one. At this point ,I am retired and my wife is a retired RN. I owned my house outright and we were both receiving S.S and retirements checks. I guess GM didn’t think we were a good risk ,even though we had a credit rating at near 8. We checked out a few SUV’s and decided to try a Ford ESCAPE. It had all the toys we wanted and fit our needs very well. Today I leased our third Escape ,3/7/13. My wife wanted to have one more car that she had grown to love. I really loaded this one up with all the toys. You see . four weeks ago she was told she has stage four lung cancer and she wanted to enjoy one more Escape while she was still able to drive. When I brought home this beautiful white Ford Escape and parked it in our drive,she had no idea I had our dealership find this car for her over the last few days. No matter what the car set us back it was all worth it ,just to see how happy it made her and now she can’t wait to drive it tomorrow. Thank you Ford Co. and Donnell Ford of Boardman, Ohio.

What we need is a new Police Vehicle from Ford. The old Taurus left a bad tast in lawenforcement. The new Crown Vic should be powered by the 5.0 in the Mustang or 5.4 or 6.0 v-8 with at least 450 hp, rear wheel drive or AWD as a V6 model offer the Ford Falcon twin turbo. I was a Police Officer for over 25 years. I have seen the Crown Vic run with no engine or trans oil, jump curbs, ditches. Take hits that other vehicles including trucks stop dead in it\'s track. The reverse back doors would be a good idea, plus bullit proof doors and firewall. I would take the Crown Vic over just about any other Police car on the road. The only short coming I ever had was the brakes. They needed to be upgraded to bigger slotted an drilled rotters and 4 or 6 piston front brakes and 2 piston rear sloted disc on rear. Limited slip rear, solid or independent axle, a little wider tire run flat high performance. A roll bar for a cage an plastic rear seats, special front seats made for holster. Special veh could be built for only one person up front with no passanger, and a upgraded suspenion as this could be a chase vehicle only. Remove all the extra weight thats not needed. Light bar built inside veh like the carbon motors vehicle with at least 200 watts sirene, yhis is a must at high speed. Please bring this vehicle back. I think you can make money off of it and be proude. I know the cops will love Ford again. A lot of my friends no longer like the Dodge an Chevs front wheel drive an V8 just dont hold up. Carbon motors might give you a run for your money if they ever get a car on the road. But no one I spoke to likes the Engine and doughts its performance. When gas is cheeper to buy again an yheir vehicle will not start in cold weather we will see how long they last. Best of luck ! Ford we need you really bad. Just ask thw working cops not their boses who sets behind desk all day.
