You mean, why was I drinking and posting at the same time?

Bad habit, I guess.

THIS was the story I mean to post >> Ford Talks Smack in the Casino Royale Garage

"Toyota offered the Broccoli family, owners of the Bond franchise, a multimillion-dollar deal to put Bond behind the wheel of Lexus's supercar," said the domestic automaker in a statement on its Web site on Friday.

The Mondeo was very cool looking. My wife said "What kind of Ford is that and why can't we get them here?" Are you listening Mulally?

Heh, my buddy said the opposite. He was like "Why the F is Bond driving a Ford." I told him to shutup and watch for the Aston.

Ironically, even when Bond gets in his Aston, he'll STILL be driving a Ford. Pretty cool huh??

It sounds like your buddy needs to broaden his horizons when it comes to cars.

Agreed...after the movie, many of my friends were asking me which car that was and why isn't it in north america

It was product placement and a great way to get a buzz about a new car... but it could be frustrating especially for someone who would want to buy it here.

Edit... I changed the thread title as well
