So, Ford is loaning me a car…

Still not really sure why. Have to admire their strategy though. First car company I’ve ever seen loan out cars to non celebrities or car people.

So, what would you do if you had a loaner car for a week? Would you take it down to Grigio Tempe and see how many bikini-clad coeds can fit in it? Would you drive to the Grand Canyon? Would you try to enter it in street races with @strebel?

I hear the new dashboard readout looks Star Trek-ish. I hope the sounds are included.

    I think this is great and further proof that Ford really gets it. I give a lot of credit to @ScottMonty and his twitter efforts. A person no longer has to be the editor of “Car and Driver” to influence people and Ford has identified you as an influencer and they are right.

    Drive it to San Diego! Take the 10 and see how fast you can go and if there is a governor and report back. Go to Mission Beach and relax. Then drive it up PHC all the way to Santa Monica. Chill at the 3rd Street Promenade before heading back.

    I think that is awesome that they are continuing to do this. Have fun and be safe.

    I think we all know why JodyG gets to keep the car for six months.

    You aren’t getting a GT-40 or even a Mustang, you are getting a Mercury Milan. The only attention you will attract will be from people in their seventies wondering if you stole their car.

    Bryan – On Saturday we will be seeing how many bikini-clad asu girls we can fit in the car and then will be filming drunk people doing drunk things in the back afterward. I take it you do not want to see these images.

    If you had a bunch of bikini-clad chicks in that car then that Mercury just became more appealing to me, especially if they are sitting on each other’s laps. Road trip.
