Default "Is this a Ford?"

I gotta admit, this was a new one. I was working yesterday with another guy and we decided to take a lunch break. I had the beast with me so we hopped in and headed for the local Chik-fil-A.

As we're driving over, with the Fabspeed ripping along, turbo whistling and his feet ON THE PORSCHE FLOORMAT, he says...

"Is this a Ford?"



I said no it's a PORSCHE, punched it in second and made it all the way to redline...couldn't resist. Only had a little wheelspin....

He wasn't messing with me and he's definitely not an idiot, just waaaay not a car guy. I mean, he's a developer after all...

The only Ford that looks similar was the Probe...

*laughs*

Of course, the way I like these cars, I'd still be buying them if they said "Yugo" on the badge.

My brother-in-law swears that the Contour engine was designed by Porsche and bought and made by Ford. Maybe they're closer than you think

Don't mince words; how do you really feel?

Then someone tried to put the fire out with some salmon-colored ****. That didn't work, so they threw in some frat boy with his hat turned sideways with some Vanilla Ice pumpin' outta da Ford Audio 6X9's to drive it. That killed any fire that was on/in that certain automotive gem of engineering.
