Well since I’m a car guy, I ask myself if Ford Motor Company is designing cars that people will want. You look at Toyota with all the recalls, GM with the money and un-employment issues, and Chrysler with quality and also money problems. But Ford, the only American big 3 Auto maker that is driving America to top quality and low prices, along with Ford’s two luxury divisions, Lincoln and Mercury. You also think a Lincoln is an old looking Towncar designed for old people, not anymore!
Ford has really re-designed the Lincoln brand with fresh new designs that are now sporty. After 2006 when Lincoln discontinued its rear wheel drive sport sedan LS, Lincoln’s sales slowly depreciated. So Ford comes out with 2 cars that are even more powerful. Now the LS was a small car, but when Lincoln brought out the MKZ, it was even smaller. (The MKZ is a Ford Fusion underneath.) The MKZ became available in 2007; 1 year after the LS was cut from the Lincoln lineup.
Another sport sedan Lincoln introduced was the MKS. A sedan that is bigger that a Towncar, but is faster and lighter. (MKS is based off the new Ford Taurus.) MKS also has an engine that gives the power of a V8 with the gas mileage of a V6. Called Ecoboost… (Also available on the Ford Taurus.) Ecoboost is only available in All Wheel Drive.
Ford’s hybrid line is small but you get really good gas mileage in both. The newest is the Fusion Hybrid that gives you 41MPG highway. And for all you go green people, all material on the Fusion Hybrid is eco friendly.
The oldest Hybrid on Ford’s Hybrid line is the Escape. A small SUV that gets really good gas mileage and can tow up to 2,500 pounds.

Happy Valentime's Day!!!
Yes it’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day! Now I’m not too wild and crazy about Valentine’s Day, most likely because I don’t understand it! I mean just one day devoted to the people that you love and care for but that is how it should be every day. Yes I do have a list about who the people I care for but not LOVE!!!!!
1. My Parents…
They are the ones who keep a roof over my head and show me right from wrong. Mom keeping the house clean and Dad with his strict disciplinary action.
2. My Friends…
Although I might despise them at times, they are the people who see what kind of person I really am. Especially in High School!
3. My Brother…
Matthew, well that’s a story itself! At times I wish he would just crawl into a hole and not come out for a long time. But he is my brother and without him I would be a lonely depressed person who would also be a brat! We get ourselves into some big predicaments but if Matthew was not my brother I don’t even want to think how I would be. I’m just glad and thankful that I have a brother that cares so much for me!
Now for my Valentine’s Day story I should tell you about how I did have a girlfriend that did not turn out as I planned………
I met Brianna at catechism in 2006, and that then it started. By December 2008 we went to youth group together and church meetings together, which was fun, but we never CLICKED. By late 2008 we had started to grow apart because we both went to different schools and since we were always so busy with the transition from Middle School to High School we never really talked much. Yeah I called her a few times, but she had some kind of trip to Washington D.C. for some kind of class. She had been in D.C. for about 3 months and we had only talked maybe 3 to 4 times. I think we both knew we were growing apart. In November 2009 we were going to make our Confirmation. (It was a good day.) I had to arrive early so my Mom could get a good seat in church. Since my Dad was my sponsor, we both had to wait with all the other sponsor’s.
I had only been at church for no less than 30 min and she had worn this light pink to almost white dress. I had a suit with a sport coat. We talked until the Mass started, and after we left the church, I talked to her. She said something about not going to this church anymore and she might not see me again. I told her I understand and that was it. We said goodbye and that was the last time I saw her. I still have her number but I don’t bother calling. Long distance relationships don’t work out. In this case it didn’t.
And once my other friend Sarah found out she laughed for DAYS!!!! She kept telling me “You are the type that any girl would run when they saw you!” I just tune her out. And Yes Sarah is SINGLE, but she is a ROYAL PAIN!!!!! But also a good friend of mine. But all that matters is that I have my friends at school that think and say I’m a good person and a good friend. The one that talkes to me every morning. :-)
