Cornhuskers Love Ford!

This week the Ford Driving Across America tour brought us to Omaha, Nebraska. We were greeted by 10,000 Omaha residents ready to test out some new cars. Mayor Jim Suttle presented Ford CEO Pedro Rivera and Oscar Mayer CEO Justin Grant with the key to the city of Omaha.

"Both these men have made great strives for the City of Omaha and America with this tour" said Suttle, who in fact drives a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid," I love my Ford Fusion and I actually tried the new Spanish hot dog by Oscar Mayer."
 Oscar Mayer unleashed their brand new Spanish Hot Dogs!! The highly anticipated hot dog was revealed in Omaha and was a smash hit. The hot dog is wrapped in flour tortilla and filled with three cheeses, Jalapeno peppers, and salsa dip.

 The Spanish hot dog was not the only futuristic idea released. Ford Motor Company released their plans for the 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid. The new hybrid includes Eco friendly seat clothes, new Hybrid performance, and energy flow display. Externally the 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid includes futuristic amenities including alloy wheels and space age design. To come speak on the space age technology featured in the new vehicle, NASA Astronaut Christopher J Ferguson stopped by the tour.

"I have been in space several times and have been around many shuttles, but this vehicle is the what I want to drive on earth" Ferguson said.

The new 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid is being sold for $28,500 but for attending the Ford Driving Across America Tour the Vehicle is being sold for $27,000, a savings of $1,500.

Next week our Ford Driving Across America series will be taking us Seattle, Washington and we will be greeted by a Mariners Superstar!!

FORD MOTOR TIP OF THE DAY:
Don’t fill up if you see the tanker If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.


FORD FACT OF THE DAY:
Phil Clark is the original designer of the galloping horse logo.
