Good 'Effin luck with that trick. You can bet everyone that is without a life is shooting for the 5k, and you're gonna try and line 'em up. I was going to go get a haircut, but I may just hang around and watch this.

AMEN to that! I did plenty of shopping around for an SUV when the wifey got pregnant and I honestly realllllly wanted to buy American. I didn't like any of Fords line of SUV's, and we seriously considered a Tahoe or a Yukon, but the price was high, and so was the mpg's we would've gotten. I ended up buying her a Kia Sorento 4x4. It's pretty much the safest SUV out there right now, even above the Mercedes line. It has a total of 8 airbags in it, and the legroom in the back is more then the fullsize Tahoe! It's pretty fun to drive too, I feel very safe when she's driving on the slippery stuff, it has a true 4 wheel drive, not this "all wheel drive" crap that has become so popular.

I bought Julie a Chevy Blazer just becasue of the way it looks and drives, the 4 wheel drive is amazing, I like the auto feature where it will engage if it slips, so I dont have to worry about her. I guess as long as there is at least one nice Ford on your lot your okay.

I have a feeling that Lisa has her sniper rifle out, has the post all set up and is ready to click on send now at just the right time to nab 5k. She's laying in wait.

I have a feeling we'll be a two Ford family soon, too.

She keeps dropping the hint that she REALLY likes the CrewCab F150s. We might have to indulge ourselves if the incentives keep coming. Oh, and yeah, if we both keep our jobs... LMAO!!!!
