    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

    Why is Ford changing the styling for the North American market again? What's wrong with it? I know it'll be a minor change, mostly a bumper job. But this kind of crap makes me more angry than say, a totally new sheetmetal.


    The last car to do that to me was... Saab 9-3 SportCombi. I went to the auto show thinking it'll have the crushed ice-effect taillamps that the European versions had, but noooooo. For some lameass reason, they had to have the clear red reflectors. Out of blinding rage, I slammed the taillamp of the US spec 9-3 SportCombi, prompting a poor Saab booth professional to rush to the car asking if everything was okay. Then I gave a long rant about how the 9-3 doesn't have the awesome crushed ice taillamps, which must have confused the dear girl. Sigh... I think that was the same year a Mitsubishi sales manager told me to get bigger aftermarket turbos on an Evo since we don't get FQ-400s here.


    Well. I was vindicated though, since the later 9-3s all get crushed ice taillamps anyway.
