Default Gotta say pretty impressed with this F150

Ok first an foremost I'm a GM fan all the way, but I have to say this video impressed me. It's a new F150 that got caught I. A hurricane or fire or something and drove off. It was pretty much destroyed as well as everything else in the area but still ran and drove on its own power. Oh and this is 100% real!

There was a guy around here that works at a local auto salvage yard, who had a new EcoBoost catch on fire on him and essentially burn to the ground during a test drive. It didn't drive away on it's own power.


That's impressive, though. I just had to mention that other story because I'm somewhat of a Ford "hater".

Very cool! Doesn't really give Ford trucks any clout. They still suck, they are built like ****, and run like *** after about 70,000 miles.

Kinda like watching a midget kick a normal height person's ***, I still wouldn't want to be a midget!

A "hand-out" has absolutely NOTHING to do with build quality. That's just like saying a company that sells less product, and is in more of a press for money, makes an inferior product. No? The only reason Ford probably had extra cash to spare is because of the absurd sticker prices and the constant maintenance performed by Ford dealerships, in order to just keep the vehicles they produced running.

When the buyer crunch came Ford sold all the plants and land and leased the buildings back and sold a lot of the shares in other companies to stay a float and make them look good!
