The lady who was in the drivethru at Wendy’s was quite frustrated to see us photographing her car (we stalked her for a few blocks to find a “compromising” position) and she jetted without even ordering.

Is Ford creating free coverage of a minor upgrade that would otherwise be of no interest to enthusiasts? New trim package with some extra chrome strips plus an upgraded compartment for your purse!
