Really nice car! Got to sit in one, wish he would have taken me for a ride but no such luck.

Ford did well with this car the design and everything about that car just makes sense.

A big !!

speed limit is 40 mph and there is a traffic signal 300 ft ahead. car had some serious damage on left side. streets were dry before he hit the fire sprinkler main. went back by on way home and couldn't figure how he lot it. skid marks weren't very long before he went up the curb sideways. he hit the water main sideways and it straightened the car up. also hit small poll with front (pic). called dealership and the guy bought the car this morning for $185,000. the owner said that the way he left the dealership he was going to crash it. didn't take him long, took pics at 3 pm.
