LOL. Mine definitely is!

Ditto. And COVID made it worse with almost nothing else to look forward to - no real vacations, and almost no sports on TV.

see, I slow walked this. Told the GF last year I had reserved a Mustang. She promptly forgot.

Told her again I had done so in June. She kind of missed it again. But then one of her friends a couple of weeks ago goes "did you see the new Mustang? it's terrible blah blah blah" and that's when I finally was like "you mean like the one I have on order?"

All sorts of golf and tennis but ya rubbing up against each other has slowed down for sure. Would hate to be 18-20 right now.

Idris Elba has so far I believe only been used for Mach-E specific stuff. Bryan Cranston has been the main Ford commercial voice for a few years now, like Will Arnett has been for GMC.

all three factual statements in there are things that no normal human should know or care about.

I always think of Mike Rowe as the voice of Ford, but I guess they ended that a few years back.

It's bad. I don't even think she acknowledges that I say anything about it now.

Me: oh wow, the Mach-e can do blah blah blah...

Her: uh, huh or crickets

I may not let her drive it at all. ?Although she loved the power of Chrysler 300C with the hemi. Not my fault the car is taking 13 months to show up and she has to hear about how great it will be.

Funny, the situation is reversed for me when my wife talks about whatever it is she goes on about.. something about facebook.. or something.. not sure..

I think there may have been some kind of scandal around him there or something but I don't remember the details, and don't care enough to look it up.

For mine it’s TikTok videos and right now a series on Britbox that is British animal Doctors. I make her wear her headphones.

It's their new "built for america" ad campaign - not specifically for the mach E. They show clips of the Mach E, f 150, and bronco. narrated by bryan cranston, not idris elba

Ooh, the first one is impressive coverage. Less than a second of the Mach E during a statement about building their most iconic models electric:


This one is better. They talk about electrifying the Mustang:


Of course, we've seen the Idris Elba commercials:
30 sec

60 sec

80 sec

@ChasingCoral : It wasn't featured but these are the first broadcast mentions of it since the NFL playoffs back in January - I saw this several times last weekend on one of my wife's channels (HGTV or something). I like the tone of the second one very much, and hopefully Farley gets to hang around long enough to keep the push to electrification going. I would also like to see the next electric mustang built here, and hopefully it has a roof that opens like a mustang should.

Mustang Convertibles are great. Aerodynamics suffer, though.

When I think of Ford, the only voice I think of is Dennis Leary and those F-150 commercials.

Might have been one or two. Wife skipped by the second one as your car popped up on the screen. I think she's tired of me talking about the car.

My wife just wants me to make a damn decision already - Model Y or Mach-E...get on with it!

I have told so many people now I feel like I have a crowd around me waiting on this car! I am getting questions back from them. Where's your car? Where's that Mustang? Then there's my brother who just bought a 2008 Porsche. You want to hear a guy talk about a car? Just have a guy buy his midlife crisis car...
