Oh, I totally get that. It's super emotional. When I bought my car, I was super pumped going to get it and the whole buying process got me so angry. I walked out twice, and yelled at a guy at the dealership, and I never yell at anyone.

Thanks man, I smile every time I get in it... but no joke, it fits me and that's about it. ha ha.

Hey man, I didn't even think to ask for an autograph, we did get to hang out on set and Rut is the coolest guy ever. I have a lot more respect for how hard it is to just be a "personality" on camera and keep everyone going. He was really nice and fun.

This is tough, because a lot of this boils down to opinion.

Thanks buddy. No it's fun. As far as I'm concerned it's all a good time facilitated by Jalopnik and Ford. It's actually pretty cool engaging people. I'm a much more of a lurker most of the time. ha ha.

I'll just leave this here:

Oh, totally.

Oh, Awesome. I had a 2009 Civic Si Sedan (manual), but when I was shopping it, I looked at a Mazdaspeed 3 and a Mkvi GTI. I loved the GTI, but I didn't want the DSG and there were no sticks to be found... ha ha.

Hey man, it's an quote from Mallrats. (my favorite movie)

Ha ha, ya, forgot I wrung it out down the freeway. Good times.

Just throwing this out there, I gotta go to work, but I'll jump back on later if anyone has more questions or want's to discuss anything.

Thanks DIGE - It was actually really fun.

For reals - so much fun hanging out with that guy.

Hey Mark,

Ya, what was cool about the whole thing is they understood that wasn't exactly the car we may have been in the market for, but it wasn't about getting us "on board" or anything, just truly checking out our opinions.

Ya brother. Thanks again for the surprise. Turned out to be an awesome experience all around.

Right? I think the new Fords just look tough all around.

Ha ha, everything else is opinion... But no style? Did you not see the flannel?

Nope, It might be hard to convey on video, but it was really fun relaxed atmosphere and all around an awesome day.

I'm going to jump in here and say a "solid" 11.
