Thank You!

On May 9th, 2011 at 4:30pm, my husband and 2 small sons were driving to my 4 yr old’s t-ball game. While stopped at a red light my husband’s 2008 Ford F-150 was rear-ended at 65mph. The impact was so significant that my son’s shoes flew off and the car that hit my husband had it’s engine completely ripped out. Suprisingly, the F-150 only had “cosmetic damage”. This was because, according to the dealership, the vehicles’s safety features worked as designed: both of the bumpers folded under to protect all of the vital parts beneath the truck. What was amazing, though, was that neither my husband or either of my boys were hurt. The police officer said that they were lucky to have been in the F-150, or (due to such a significant impact) my boys might not be here….I credit Ford for saving my sons’ lives. I currently drive a different make of vehicle and have had no issues. However, after this incedence, I am looking to buy a Ford Edge. I want to thank you for making a vehicle that lives up the the highest quality and standards…..your products truly are “Ford Tough”.

In 1955 the Thunderbird was produced in order to satisfy the needs of Ford enthusiasts who didn't want the 55' Corvette. A legend was born and a very dynamic one at that. Today in this world of social media and a increasing track performance competition we have the Focus ST vs. Mazdaspeed3, Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger. Only thing missing is a competitor to the Corvette. Reinvent the Thunderbird, front and rear independent suspension, aerodynamic, 600 HP+, carbon fiber brakes, track stability, and a price tag comparable to the Corvette and Viper. You already have the engine, just put in a chassis and body to make it more efficient. I am a Ford man for life I just can't keep defending the Mustang against everything that the Europeans, Chevy, and Chrysler are doing in this emerging track performance market. Thank you.
