    The first blade of the Fusion grill neatly shears the bison's hair. The second blade removes the skin and unwanted appendages. And the third blade slices the meat into bite-sized morsels.

    @nosirrahg: But as you can see, the conditioning strip on this Fusion has been worn down to the metal, indicating it's time for a replacement.

    What a fucking moron. I don't care if it was a blizzard, if you can't see a HERD OF FUCKING BUFFALO on the road, stop driving.

    @Number_six: An excellent point. Driving 65 in a blizzard where your visibility is so poor you can't see a herd of very large mammals probably indicates her judgment was impaired.

    Day-um. She hit bison, plural, not bison singular? That's a pretty good testament to the integrity of the Fusion, I guess. If you hit a large land-dwelling mammal in one of those Chinese cars from the Shanghai show, I bet it'd fold faster than Superman on laundry day.

    This would make a great Ford commercial:


    **Fade in to picture of wrecked Fusion**


    Mike Rowe (voiceover): The new Ford Fusion is the safest vehicle in America. Just ask Maureen Edgerton.


    **Cue dramatic reenactment**


    Mike Rowe: Ms. Edgerton ran into several buffalo while driving through a blizzard on a lonely Montana highway. She was still able to drive it home.


    **Cue picture of rusted frame rail**


    Mike Rowe: Try doing that in your Toyota.


    **Cue picture of government cheese**


    Mike Rowe: Or your GM.


    **Cue Ford logo**


    Mike Rowe: This is the real Ford Advantage.


    Announcer: No buffalo were hurt in the making of this commercial.

    I played Oregon Trail on a Mac, it had a shoot-the-bison minigame that used the mouse.


    Graphics were way better, too.


    Though they were still cheesy. But in full color.


    My favorite was pace. You could set your pace to "GRUELING".

    I like the aerodynamic modifications. Makes it look like the Phantom Corsair.


    It's amazing she didn't wind up with a buffalo in her lap. That's the hard way to get a buffalo skin blanket.
