Tyson Beckford should of got a Benz
Just saw this on Access Hollywood. Ralph Lauren model Tyson Beckford lost control of his Ford truck and hit a light pole, his truck catches fire on impact. He was traped inside while the Ford is blazing in flames because the seat belts jamed and won't release, he finally got out by cutting the belts with his knife. Luckly he was not seriously injured.
WOW...all I can say is he should of gotten a Benz instead of risking his life in a Ford truck. Fords are still exploding on impact...guess they haven't improved much since the Pinto.

I will not ride in a Ford product if I have any say in it anymore. I even turn down Lincoln town cars. When I have a limo take me someplace, I request a Cadillac, or other brand. I never ride in Ford Taxi's either.. damn things are death traps. We had a Phoenix cop burn to death, and another loose his body (and barely hang on to his life) in a Ford cop car out here.

Hate to disagree with an infallible authority like Access Hollywood, but the June 7 newswire story says that it was a Dodge Ram, not a Ford. Say, isn't Dodge somehow connected with a company called Daiimler-Chrysler?

Just like Ford and Volvo have very little in common, especially in the Truck segment, Dodge and MB have little... But I'm sure the higher up corporate types will eventually make some cultural changes that will either improve the one, or hurt the other... (lets hope it's the former).
I still will not ride in a Ford. Though the new 500 has a lot of Volvo technology so maybe I will give that one a chance.

I've learned (the hard way) to pass on mistakes in spelling and grammar and just concentrate on the substance of what's being said. There are lots of possible reasons for mistakes, from haste in typing to foreign origin to (arguably) a gneral decline in composition drill in the schools. Sometimes the mistakes do obscure the intended meaning, but it's seldom helpful to point them out.
Addendum: Posting from a Treo 650, with its tiny keyboard and display, gnerally doesn't help spelling accuracy, either.

Well Jocko, I didn't have you pegged for one of "those" type....
Perhaps your comments would've been more appropriate on a "proper english" forum. Regardless of the grammer used, its obvious he got is message across and we all understood it. Not sure what the S. Calif comment was about either, but "what ever"...... Yeeall.

I am not one of "those" types. But, that was atrocious.

I see you are in GA, so you guys still speak red necks over there huh? Do you guys still pronounce "Heart" as "Hat"?
Ok take it easy, it's just a joke.
