Ford Race to the Dream -More new Pictures, Post #101

[Karen]

Oh how cool! If Ralph cannot go, I know tons of folks who'd jump at the chance! And can drive stick, so could coach you, too!

[anna_66]

As I told you earlier...COOL

I think it's awesome that someone I know is a winner...lol!

Like Karen said, I know someone who'd go if Ralph can't

Oh, Mark said his truck isn't a stick but you could use it...it's big!

I may take him up on that! I am hoping the regular truck stuff will be in automatics!!

And you didn't have to eat pork and beans.

A hint on the manual tranny.
Think of a seesaw. Pretend you have to balance the pedals.
As you let out the clutch, give the car gas.

Well, I guess you haven't come down yet for that high you're on. How cool that you won this trip etc. If Rob was still around, he would be trying to convince you that a brother is better to take along than a husband. Didn't you go to your first truck race with him?

I can't think of anyone more deserving of this trip than you. I hope you find a truck to practice on - hey, why don't you go to a Ford dealer and tell them about your win - maybe they would let you practice on one so they could use you in some way for a commercial or something. Never hurts to ask!

WW! ~~~ GOOD Idea, Mom!!

Must be why God made you a "MOM"!

Give that a shot, Amy ...
Ford may have some "strings" written into the Rules ... but ask anyhow.
A Local Dealer may *like* Mom's Idea!

Be sure to mention you come with a well-established and HUGE "Phann Klub"!

I actually mentioned that idea to Ralph last night! I just don't know how it would look to have me, the wife of a Chrysler employee, begging from Ford! Still, may be worth a shot!

I did talk to a friend here at work, and she said I can practice on her Saturn stick anytime I want, so at least that will help. I was also thinking maybe I should borrow little sis's big ol' Chevy truck to at least get used to a bigger vechile. Whatcha think Christy? I could give you the Firebird for a few days....

Will part of the "skills tests" be 4-Wheel Driving (like they showed in the Ford videos)?

Look up "Truck Parts & Accessories" and similar headings in the Yeller Pages ...
pick out the "fancy" 4-Wheel Drive Shops and pay a quick visit ...
A 4WD SHOP may be interested in "Sponsoring" you;
and they certainly know who the Bigger & Better 4WD CLUBS are ...
contact a 4WD Club or two to see if they'd like to help the cause.
(Attend a couple weekend 4WD Rallies - do some Durt Runnin!)

We're gonna need a Team Name and Logo ...
* Truckin Fur Amy (Logo = Girl in 4WD cab, three Pooches in bed, mud flying)
* Amy Rocks ... (Logo = 4WD Truck perched atop huge boulder)
* ??

Who's handling "support donations"?

YEE-HAW!!
