(Full disclosure, and I hope Jubal enjoys this...Ford Motor Company is a client of my firm. Nonetheless, this is a cool event that Ford is doing next week and we've been authorized to invite some friends, and heck, all my fellow OC Blog readers are friends, right?)

This is a special event with the lead engineers who design the Ford F-Series trucks, which remain the most popular trucks on the road. Attendees will be able to see a part-by-part comparison of an F-150 truck with its competitors and understand at the design and structural level why Ford Trucks are still the toughest on the road.
Additionally, attendees will get a chance to drive one of the most powerful factory built F-150s -- the new supercharged 2007 F-150 Harley Davidson pickup -- and the new for 2008 F-150 Lariat Limited, and see some of the cool new features on the 2008 model year F-150s.
You know you love your trucks, people. How else are you supposed to haul stuff to the beach, to the mountains, or to your house?

When I was in high school, my parents made me drive a Pinto- I think this is the cause of many of my anger issues. Do you think Ford would reach an out of court settlement for me on the mental damaged caused by be seen in a Pinto in 1980.

Phil:
For you, maybe. But blaming your parents for your anger issues? Hmmm...I'm not buying it.

Phil with a Pinto. I need to see a picture of this now. We're your parents trying to punish you?

Phil - we had a Pinto, too; and only a Pinto. Soooooo embarrassing! I'm with you on the anger issue thing. How about a class action suit?

Thats OK Phil, I had to drive a 1964 Falcon when I was in high school. Now that will certainly warp someone's mind.

If Allan Bartlett and Phil can become friends post Gilchrist v. Campbell, maybe there is hope for Phil and Karl post Blais v. Miller?
