2011 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost AWD Review & Test Drive

“Tastefully blending luxury, performance, and advanced technology”

Lately Ford’s luxury division is not getting as much front-page exposure as the company’s latest redesigned vehicles. Nevertheless, Lincoln should in no way be overlooked.  Ford ingenuity and survival skills have trickled down into vehicles such as the new Lincoln MKS luxury sports sedan.

The new 2011 Lincoln MKS is not just a redone or rebadged Taurus. It is much more and it is ready to battle with any car in its class. If the American car companies have learned anything over the past decade it is that the old rebadging notion will only result in possible bankruptcy. Fortunately for Ford they were able to keep things moving without the assistance from the government.  The reasons why really show in not only the Ford lineup but also in the Lincoln division, especially when it comes to cars such as the new MKS.

“All because of a senseless text message”… those are the unfortunate words shared by the friends and family of ‘texting while driving’ car accident victims. Everyone has a choice in life and as we get older we tend to get wiser, thinking that we are making all of the right choices even when we are behind the wheel of a car.

Epic Fail Video: Leaving Your Car While It Is In Drive

December 28, 2010 by  
Filed under Automotive, BMW, Video

I have to admit I do some stupid things in my car from time to time but never as crazy as this person in the video below. The video below is a recent clip of a person attempting to free a BMW 1-Series from a snow filled driveway. It is somewhat obvious that this REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE vehicle is not equipped with snow tires but it does not give the driver any excuse for leaving the car while it is in gear. It is also safe to support our post reiterating that 80% of BMW 1-Series owners think it is a front-wheel-drive car by the way the driver attempts to clear snow from the FRONT wheels. Enjoy the Epic Failure below!
