REVIEW: 2015 Ford Expedition Platinum SUV

Tuesday, June 2, 2015 0 comments

The 2015 Ford Expedition SUV - It's smart, capable & comfortable. The Platinum model comes jammed packed with some amazing features and I'm going to jump right in and share them with you.

The Standard 3.5L EcoBoost V6 Engine delivers more power than ever. Higher fuel economy too. I drove around Atlanta for a week and still had a half-a tank of gas left. I was really shocked how well Expedition performed for it to be a full size SUV the drive was very smooth and the handling was impeccable.

Ford shares safe driving tips during National Teen Driver Safety Week

Thursday, October 23, 2014 0 comments


This week (October 19-25) is National Teen Driver Safety Week. In honor of the teens we know and love, it’s important to raise awareness about the topic of teen driver safety. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 14-18 year olds in the U.S., so Ford developed programs like Ford Driving Skills for Life – an award winning teen driver safety program - to educate teen drivers, and developed teen driver tips to share with teen drivers.




1.    Engage in the driving process – As teens get closer to earning/acquiring their learner’s permit, parents should actively engage with them about driving. Talk about safe driving behaviors, practice with them, seek educational opportunities, and be clear that unsafe actions won’t be tolerated.

2.    Buckle up – It’s the law. In a crash, a person not buckled up is much more likely to be injured or killed than someone wearing a safety belt. Always buckle up and require all passengers to buckle up for everyone’s safety.

3.    Never speed – Research done for Ford’s ‘Driving Skills for Life’ shows that if parents speed, their teens are more likely to do the same. Speed-related factors continue to be reported in about one-third of all traffic deaths nationally.

4.    Don’t drive distracted – By setting a tough “no distractions” rule for teens, young drivers will keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

5.    Don’t follow too closely – Keep the proper distance from the car in front of you. Remember that the faster you drive, the longer it takes to stop. Doubling vehicle speed can nearly quadruple the distance required to stop.

6.    Limit the number of passengers – Graduated Driver License laws restrict the number passenger for novice drivers to help reduce the potential for distraction and focus on the driving task.

7.     Never drink and drive – Under-age use of alcohol and illicit drugs is illegal, and combining alcohol or drugs with driving can be deadly at any age.

Take Flight with Ford Experience

Sunday, June 22, 2014 0 comments

When I received the invitation to take part in this experience at the Pilot's Country Club I knew it was going to be nothing less than amazing. I served as one of the blog partners for this event and had the pleasure of attending an exclusive Media Program that included Ford Fusion test drives and vehicle demos and I was able to catch up with my Ford Executive buddies. Ford rolled out the Blue Carpet guests that attended were greeted by Top-flight attendants, rocked out to the AMAZING DJ Mars, observed the talented Monica Tookes create live art, enjoyed premium Ford Cigars, snapped photos in the OMG Booth,  savored complimentary Gentleman Jack Cocktails and hor' dourves. Great times were definitely had!
