    New Ford GT Merchandise

    I was thinking this morning that it would be great if there was a good central source for ordering merchandise items related to new GT logo, images, etc. like shirts, hats, coffee mugs, etc. These would be great to have for all who submitted an application, whether they were selected or not. If...

    Kudos to Ford for their "Process"

    I know that there will be some sour grapes among those who were not selected in the initial round of builds for the new FGT. And for those loyal customers and fans who really wanted a new FGT, I hope that some day you will have your opportunity to buy one some day. Receiving my notification...
