Fw: Audi vs. Ford (was Mistaken Identity)

["Daniel Hussey" <dan_hussey@email.msn.com>]

Scott,


Yup!  heard the same thing.  Ford was definately going for that low drag
aerodynamics thing, but could have taken a few more lessons in the syling
department.  I will have to give ford credit (yamaha mostly) on the late
model SHO's though.

Too bad I think they were still FWD and they ended when they went to the
current "egg-head car"!  What an ugly POS.  Sorry, but if you own a newer
Taurus....time to get your pulse checked!  "Is he breathing???"  ;^)
Hahaha.

BTW, I don't think there is ONE car Ford currently makes that I would buy
except the Explorer (which we have one of in our family already)!  I
truly>think they go out of thier way to make cars as ugly as they possibly
can.
The Ford Mustang was a great design up untill they started to mess with it
last year.  Now it looks like a cheap body kit some homeslice would put on
thier supped up, pimped out Mustang....uh, hidious!!!!!

I think for '00 they are adding the "Homeslice package"....includes gold
plated badging, chome wheels that stick out of the fenders, black-out
headlight covers, Flowmaster exhaust, and the new ALL BASS sound system
which comprises of 2 15" subwoofers and 2 "8 mid-bass drivers and a 1000
watt amp!  Sure to please any one next to you in traffic!  8^P

Later,
Dan
