Helping People In Need

MY STORY DOESN’T COME WITH VIDEOS OR PICTURES, IT COMES WITH HEART FELT WARMTH. IN DECEMBER OF 2009 I LEFT WORK FOR HOME AND STOPPED AT THE LOCAL STORE AS I APPROACHED THE STORE FRONT I NOTICED A WOMAN AND TWO CHILDREN SITTING BY A PAY PHONE AND THE WOMAN WAS CRYING. AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THEY LIVED APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AWAY AND HAD GOTTEN STRANDED BY SOMEONE AND LEFT WITH NO MONEY I SAID I WOULD DRIVE THEM HOME. AS THE CHILDREN CLIMBED IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY FORD EXPLORER THEY NOTICED I HAD AN OVERHEAD DVD PLAYER AND I PUT ON A MOVIE FOR THEM. THE WOMAN AND CHILDREN HAD NEVER BEEN IN SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AND WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT AFTER EXCHANGING INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER SHE LATER HAD COME INTO BETTER STREAK OF LUCK AND SHOWED UP AT MY HOME WITH THE ALMOST IDENTICAL VEHICLE. SHE HAD MENTIONED TO ME THAT HER CHILDREN LOVED MY VEHICLE SO MUCH THAT THEY WANTED THEIR MOM TO HAVE SOMETHING JUST LIKE IT. JUST SEEING THEM GET HOME SAFE THAT NIGHT WAS ENOUGH SATISFACTION FOR ME. THANKS FOR SHARING MY STORY.

Please....for crying out loud.....bring us a sensible family car with 3 row seating. We don't all want a boat like the Flex or a truck like the Explorer. The european S-Max would be great. I grew up in an all-Ford family, but there's nothing in the current lineup that would suit me. I can't be alone in this. Just look at Mazda5 sales for evidence.
