    Oh dear god. I just took a look at these custom Fords, and I think I'm going to regret covering the show. Can they get ever more tasteless than these creations?

    Oh well, just got to stand up tall, and report what I see. Maybe they will look better in person. #ford

    Lets see... a bunch of custom FWD cars. Can I hear you say poser? I knew you could. Another example of the triumph of style over substance. #ford

    That Flex hardly "breaks the mold of cookie-cutter project vehicles on oversized chrome rim" in fact, it seems more to me that they actually used the definition of "the mold" as an instruction manual.

    And I just can't get behind this Transit obsession. Sorry, it just doesn't look like a passenger vehicle to me, and no attempt to Westphallicize it will make me think different. #ford

    @weatherman: it could just be that I know who's doing the Flex, but it seems to me that the recent trend is to put really large wheels on a car, and not bother to fix the ride height. Without giving anything away, this car is gonna be slammed, with large wheels. But again, I'm biased. #ford

    @weatherman: I was thinking the same thing...

    "breaks the mold of cookie-cutter project vehicles on oversized chrome rims" followed by "Rolling on 22inch falken tires and wire spoke dayton wheels".

    I get behind the Transit obsession though, but for commercial reasons rather than passenger reasons #ford

    Re. "coolover" - that word must be stricken from the collective vocabulary. I'm almost tempted to carpet bomb the English language so that it is never spoken again.

    I want the FSWERKS Focus though, however they forced in 500hp. The MRT-Direct SHO is pretty nice looking too, maybe how it should have looked from the factory. #ford

    Are we ever going to see one displayed without some faux business graphics all over it? I kinda more in the truck than the Boo-Boo Busters logo.

    As a dead child hooker transport, you're pretty much limiting the market to British sex tourists in Thailand. But these days, no niche is too small.

    Why even bother with the individual shelves? My Dodge van hauls around the bodys just fine.

    Hey it's the "Bad Boys II" special edition Transit van.


    From the brochure:


    "Great for transporting drugs and money in corpses back to your native country."
