Excuse me, but I couldn't help notice the POLSKAAA!

What is this? A storage compartment for ants!?

I'd still rock one.

AWESOME. Thank you for this delightful information.

So they're only getting sold in China? It would be awesome if they sold them at least somewhere import-able. I can't see myself strolling over to China and telling them, "hey, I'm just sneaking off with this China-market Escort because I want to make a bagged daily driver with whitewalls and 1930s Ford hubcaps".

We've seen how strange things can get at night

Yikes! Hope everyone was A-OK.

Greetings from a 16-year-old in Poland. This isn't a question, but I wanted to congratulate you on the EXP 9 F (I presume you were heavily involved in the design). I know a lot of people didn't like it, but honestly I think it's the best-looking SUV ever created off paper. I've long wanted to bring the SUV as an idea
