Christmas Gift Idea…Better than a Beer Fetching Dog?

Here’s a bright idea from CarCrazyGifts via Jalopnik.

While this little ’57 is cool, it’s not quite “Motorhead” enough for me.  I suggest we mod a Traxxas Nitro TMax with a cup holder for 50mph campsite beer delivery.  Since this is also a Nitro powered vehicle, it would provide that ‘fresh from the garage’ exhaust smell…

Not Quite Mad Props for Ford

Since I’ve been bashing Ford lately (call me a discontent fan) I’ve decided to share a few blue oval high points I’ve come across.

1. Ford sales were up in November, after a long period of declines. I’m not going to research all the details and quote percentages and crap…that’s not what we do here. If you’re interested, here’s some data from Ford and CNN.

2. The Edge is cool. No really…I’ve been in one.

3. The new ad campaigns, involving the Dirty Jobs guy and Korn tunes, is a refreshing change.

3.5 KITT is a GT500KR Mustang in the New Knight Rider. This is either marketing genius or a tragic mistake. Time will tell.

3. The Mustang is still awesome. Check out the new Boss and Bullitt Limited Editions.

4. The Sport Trac can be made into a capable vehicle (with enough money and the desire to start with vehicle that is not a great off-road platform to start with).

Th moral of the story is that I’m not giving up yet…just waiting impatiently for a new Bronco or Crew Cab Ranger to fill the gaping hole in the product line.

A Tribute to the Natch?

According to this fine piece of editorial content from Jalopnik, Natural Light may be the de-facto beer choice for Ford owners (and College Students). Hard to argue with this logic.

This connection may also explain the the Sport-Trac, given the propensity for bad hangovers and poor decision making that results from the consumption of Natty…
