    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

    I just want a SHO with a very selective pick-and-choose list of stuff which adds mass. #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

    It's as lame as I expected, unfortunately, and there is -0- respect for lane "lines", which is encountered in everyday life.

    As much as he's a car nut, show-business wise, he's a complete hack. Jaywalking was a total rip off of Stern. This Ford Focus thing is just sad.

    When I heard that Jay was doing this, I was excited - I thought if he could make a segment that was similar to TG's SIARPC it might actually give me a reason to watch the show every now and again. But instead what we're given is the most ridiculous, over sponsored, circus-like simulacrum of that. What a disaster. It makes me think less highly of Jay as a car guy, which is a shame because it's one of the only things I liked about him in the first place.

    I'm appalled. And part of the reason for the electric car probably is because they can hear the drivers without a mike.

    Stuff like this is why I don't watch to much TV any longer. Star struck fanatics in the background being the good little sheep they are. A car plastered with "look at me" all over it. A race track that looks like a carnival ride.

    Rush Limbaugh is next week's star in a car thing. This assumes the show will still be around.

    @Blue387: I almost believed you, but the only way that would work is if he did a reverse NASCAR course, since he wouldn't be caught dead going to the left.

    This is dumber than that one time I decided to buy a 1990 Firebird. With a V6.

    @TexanIdiot25- needs moar horse powah: I have to promote this, just so more people can see you bought a 1990 Firebird with a V f'ing 6.

    Hopefully the shame and humiliation will be enough to keep you from going on Leno...

    @something_unique_and_descripti...: That never stopped me from bandit-esque behavior. You can ask the residents in the back of my neighborhood how much time a red firebird was seen in the dirt
