Ford has introduced a new feature called Intelligent Speed Limiter. In a nutshell, you can activate it as part of your cruise control suite to allow the car to determine and follow posted speed limits. Predictably, many are crying foul. Facebook is being flooded with links breathlessly titled "Ford's New Car Will…

Used car salesman or record company executive?

"Every. Single. F#@&ing. Morning," you think as your right foot moves to the brake and left leg begins to work the clutch as traffic grinds to a halt. You're ten minutes from the office, but it'll take another hour to get there. So, here you are, going 16 mph in a 160 mph car because some drivers decide their commute…

We've been waiting months at my dealership for our first batch of the new Mustangs to drop. In that time, I've read of how soft, how slow, how watered down the new pony has become. I've seen criticism of its fusion-coupe design and softer ride, and had let my expectations come down a few notches.

"Y'all are a bunch of crooks! I'm not playing your games", you scream as you stand and stride for the door, raising your voice so everyone in the showroom hears you. After you leave, an awkward silence hangs in the air before everyone hesitantly goes back to what they were doing. Just another day in the auto business,…

So, Ford invited me down to Boston to experience the new F-150 today. Activities included towing, drag racing, autocross, and technology walkthroughs. I have to say the new F-150 is definitely not a new way to drive a truck, but it is head and shoulders above the competition in just about every category. I got some…

As a car salesman, I can't help but cringe at some of the advice offered to car shoppers. It's mostly harmless overgeneralization, but some of it just makes the process so much more difficult for everyone involved. I'm here to bring some sanity to the discussion.

As I've stated before, I'm relatively biased, and probably a little cynical at this point, but I'm not completely unreasonable. When I posted three sad truths about working at a car dealership, I was greeted with a barrage of responses from all over the spectrum of human experiences. We each have our own expectations…

I read somewhere once that people want to read nuanced, detailed analysis of the conflicts around the world. They want to know the political consequences of Putin's invasions and how Obama should respond. While there is certainly merit to what's and the how's, there's also a certain sterile textbook quality to it.…

Ford recently released ordering information to dealers, including pricing and estimated availability, and the order banks opened on the 20th for the fastback coupe. Convertible availability is "later this summer." Now that the order banks are open, expect delivery in 6-12 weeks. While Ford haven't release exact…

There's a link that I've seen being shared on Facebook chronicling the flood of new cars wasting away on lots all over the world. When I first saw the headline, "Where The World's Unsold Cars Go To Die," I thought I might be in for an interesting, informative read. Unfortunately, I came across the ramblings of a man…

I hate click-bait. I'm not talking interesting, cross-referenced articles. I'm talking about the posts that require you to click through page after page interspersed with ads. If I have to click my mouse more than 2-3 times to read the entirety of your article, you're doing it wrong and I won't read it, no matter how…

A quick Google search involving "Putin" and "WW3" reveals any number of terrifying articles suggesting we are on the brink of WW3 with the recent Ukrainian crisis, but Putin is a shrewd man. He doesn't want war with the west. He wants to show his people that Russia is still relevant and is the biggest player in it's…

Sometimes it feels like I constantly watch, read, or hear about how millennials are in every way inferior and somehow ruining our country. We're too engaged in our phones with our short attention spans and lack of social skills. Well, it turns out, things aren't so different. Cellphones, tablets and news feeds are…
