There has been quite a bit of interest in the new 3.5L Ecoboost V6. One day last week this guy comes in asking about a new truck and we end up talking about the Ecoboost in the new F-150. He thinks I might be overstating the engine's capabilities and decides he wants to take it for a test drive. The truck also had Sync Voice Activated systems on it, but we hadn't talked about that too much yet. So he takes the truck for a ride and decides to see how it'll accelerate. He steps on it, pulls out and passes a couple of cars that had been in front of him. He looks down and sees he's doing 90 and then the truck talks to him! It asked him if he had an emergency?!! He didn't know what the heck to make of that, so he came back to the dealership, tells me what happened and asked me what the h#&% that was all about!! I couldn't help but laugh as I'm trying to explain about the Sync systems and I still laugh every time I think of it.
Everyone I've told the story to has found it amusing and I hope you do, too.
Catch you later,
Don Tibbetts
