Strange Ford owned web site

Check out http://www.boredomhurts.com/. A whois indicates it's owned by Ford. Any ideas?

If you click the "CURE" Beaker it has a countdown clock that corresponds closely to the NYAS. So It's either Flex or another production car that hasn't been leaked yet (this type of site usually isn't put up for concepts, just production or near-production cars).

For some reason Ford web sites no longer display on my computers. All I get are blank pages. But the Lincoln & Mercury web sites work just fine as does the myplan website.

You need the Adobe Flash player installed for the Ford sites (not sure about Mercury and Lincoln). If you have it installed, try reinstalling it.

Adobe flash is installed. It is needed for the Lincoln, Jaguar, Mazda, Volvo, Caddy, Lexus, Infinity, etc., etc., web sites, all of which run just fine on all my computers. The main Ford.com web site works, but fordvehicles.com does not work. I tried checking for the lastest flash version and reloading several times. I guess I'll have to go buy an Infinity or Nissan.

Hmm... I found I can get to the build your Ford sites (Build your Mustang, Build Your Edge, etc.) buy clicking on the "Find a Vehicle" tabs in the lower right corner of the main Ford.com page. It's the "fordvehicles.com main page that doesn't run. All I get is a blank light blue background, no errors but nothing besides the background loads. Same thing happens with an XP machine running IE7 as well as an old Win98 box running IE6
