New Or Used 2008 Ford Edge
Reader’s Question:
I have plans on buying a Ford vehicle and have seen some photos of the Ford Edge in an automotive Magazine based here in Houston, Texas. Can you give some walk around attributes for this newest Ford model?

I was able to take a closer look at the 2008 Ford Edge during the last car show held in Houston, Texas. It quite looked bigger than it looks on photos, probably because it has a long wheelbase and wide track. It is also about 8inch shorter than the Ford Explorer while its base wheel is almost 2 inches shorter. With this specification, the Ford Edge appears to be more solid. Its 4 wheels are close to each corner which makes it look more firmly planted on the ground. It has a very aggressive stance that makes it outstanding as compared to traditional SUVs. The Ford Edge bears Ford’s prestige on bold American designs. The big chrome grille is perfectly positioned forward and its wide chrome slats merges into quite small headlights on each side. The windshield inclines forward like a sports car or modern minivan while the high hood is short.
With all these features, I say that the Ford Edge is a perfect match for people who are more into SUVs. It is a practical choice especially that it is a combination of a sporty vehicle with wide space inside. It may look like a go-kart for some, yet it resembles an aggressive stance. I was really fascinated by this fabulous SUV that I am already raising money to buy one. I was already set with a reliable car insurance which I found on this page. Enough preparation once I drive home this baby.
2008 Mustang Bullitt
Reader’s Question:
My family owns a series of Mustangs, I’m about to check on the latest Mustang Bullitt, but I am wondering what makes the Mustang Bullitt excel over other Ford Coupes?

This is the latest addition to the herd of Ford mustang cars, which was faithfully styled to celebrate the hero car in the famous chase scene which starred Steve McQueen. This car is tuned to a higher level than the standard GT. Some writers hailed it as no more than a hopped up Mustang. However, Ford proved something else. Instead of simply bolting on some modifications and re-tuning the setup, Ford re-engineered and painstakingly massaged the Bullitt to attain its additional performance. In other words, they did it the hard way which happens to be the the right way as well.
Ford claims that the current Mustang’s body/frame is 31% stiffer and I have no doubt about it. This Mustang is more rigid and rattle-free than its predecessor. A firm and tough foundation provides basis for good things, like improved ride quality, sharper handling, and less interior vibration.
The convertible (folding) top is simple and easy to operate. Release the hook from the windshield header and it powers back behind the rear seat with the touch of a button. The ultimate in posing requires that you manually install the optional boot cover, but the folded, exposed top and frame don’t look bad without it.
I only drove this coupe for just merely 30 minutes, along a not so busy freeway in Houston. I was quite impressed with its swift moves and drifts. It proves that Mustang has not only held its integrity in producing quality yet stylish cars, but reigned as well for several decades for producing compact quality coupes.
