Ford Auto Nights: A SEMA Show Special

[jhalkias]

I am going to ramble here, sorry!

Yea no kidding, I was actually getting annoyed reading the chats as it worries me how we as future owners will get treated while out and about. I wanted to say look at some of the older Mustangs, should they have called those a Mustang? The future is not the past and if Ford doesn't adapt to changing times, they will fold like a cheap suit. Using a well known brandname to slingshot a new car / SUV is brilliant, especially if you are years behind the pack. Now what do I know, I never owned a prior Mustang, but always loved some of them but not all of them. Why not embrace and support keeping the name alive, it's all about selling cars, not about protecting the brandname that has been dying off for years. It's not like the Mustang name is what it was many years ago. Time to reinvent the wheel and get things on track, this is a great way to enter the market with putting all of the cards on the table. Using the name to me means they are serious and this is not just another attempt at an electric car from Ford.

Some people are just jackasses. That's why some people refer to looking at Twitter as "Doom Scrolling". When we had the auto show before the shutdown in Cleveland and I was admiring the Mach E, I got that comment from one of those jackasses - "not a Mustang". I told him I had one on order and loved it - he slithered away.

Here is a funny tidbit about the name. When team Edison started with developing the mache. The boss man himself Mr. Ford said it had to be called a mustang. There was no going back and forth on the name. He was very animated about that fact.

Now ford is really leaning in the EV market and yesterday General motors stepped up and are expanding their development of Ev's.

Also got to see a new F-150 yesterday. Amazing truck, can't wait till the EV hits the market.

I think that has to do with the first ones to register for the event. They said first 500 can ask questions, after would just be able to participate. After the event I will snapshot that wording.

I believe only certain people who got e-mail invites can take part in the Q&A. Everyone else can only view.
