As much as I hate to admit it, dodge had a run for a while where their commercials made me kind of want one.

Like the one with George Washington driving a challenger. “There’s a couple things America got right: cars and freedom.”

Saw this on FB earlier and thought it was super cringy. Ford marketing team has been shit for years.
Yep, it has been shit for years. Last good Ford marketing program was for the 2013 Boss 302. Like this commercial.
Everyone has an inner Mustang!

If you made a good product that offered a feasible solution to a real problem you wouldn't have to try and jam it down peoples throats, incentivize it, insult people into buying it, or legislate it into law. ICE isn't going any where.

Thinking more about this thread, you know, my opinion is that when Covid-19 affected personal business to customer connectivity, replacing it with impersonal virtual connectivity, customer service and marketing did a nose dive across the industry. It's like Ford, to name just one, has lost touch with its customers. This embarrassment of a marketing campaign is an example of that. By the way, Facebook's Meta platform is perpetuating impersonal communication. If you think Facebook has damaged our society communication wise, wait until you see the greater damage Meta brings to the table.

Meta did pump Decentraland though! ;)

BMW will get the message when people vote with their wallets.
I test drove a BMW X2. My mom was interested in getting it. I am not a fan of the bottom plastic skirt. And the windows are tiny. It feels like you're in a Camaro and the limited visibility is a negative IMO as far as safety goes. I guess it drove all right and had some acceleration. We drove a X3 right after that and it was a lot quicker and overall a better car. My mom ended up going with an Audi Q5.

Bicycles!! That's the future ...I'm telling ya!
Ford may as well start selling (taking pre orders) for bicycles.

You can work on them, do wheels and different tires, change gear ratios, brake jobs, mod them , different fenders, horns, seats etc...
No chips required

Bicycles are gonna make great muscle car replacements!

Oh you know they're gonna race them too
