Ford linked to RoboCop??
So I am driving back from my girlfriends house, and got to wondering why I was getting about 5 MPG, and then my plastic oil pressure line burst, leaving me stranded. so when I pop the hood, i see that there is a crack in the fuel pump housing leaking gas like the Exxon Valdez, and all 5 quarts of oil are now sprayed down the side of my truck, so i get a ride home and fix it the next day. My gal has always given me a hard time about my truck, and this just adds fuel to the fire. But then she went to statesboro with her family for the weekend, and their 99 Chevy Venture van blows up. Thats what she gets for pickin on a Ford!!
Any way, we were watching Robocop I, and I noticed that all the cop cars are taurus's. Then they had a street or something named "Henry Ford ....." and Robocop visits "Lee Iacocca Memorial Middle school" and I am sure there were other blue oval references, but i was..ummm.. distracted... Has anyone else seen this kind of thing??

i haven't noticed that before about RoboCop...but different products and brands will pay a obscene amount of money to holleywood to be the "seen"brand in diffent movies. I don't know about now...but Coke and Pepsi were going thru this for a while...I'm sure its the same for autos and airline industries and the rest of it all....its all about the might dollar and who is willing to pay. Of course in this case it could just be because they wanted dependable, reliable, good quality...but able to take a beatin kind of vehicle
