And I took up their offer on it. I test drove a Mustang with the Ecoboost engine and my friend went with a Fusion SE.

I just went looking on my phone to see if I had any pictures of the Mustang and I forgot to take one. Sorry guys. It was red with GT Premium wheels LOL

I was determined to try two cars and I asked if they had a Raptor or a Explorer Sport on the lot and they said they didn’t have any test drive models. I followed up by asking if he had any interesting used cars. Guess what he said.

Someone traded in a M5 for an Explorer just earlier.

Heck. Yes.

It ended up being a 2010 M3 with the Automatic. The weird part is I liked the Mustang Ecoboost more than the M3. Probably because I didn’t take the M3 onto the freeway cause we were strapped on time since both me and my friend wanted to drive it. And I can’t manual so I wasn’t confident in putting the M3 into manual. (Also I wasn’t sure about the tire pressures -beats joke to death-.)

But I felt like I had more of an opportunity to use all of he Ecoboost’s power compared to all of the M3’s power, so I understand those people’s argument now.

Any of you in the Tulsa area, his name is Tim DeMyer I think. Super cool guy. And it was Joe Cooper Ford. Ask him if he remembers the four University of Tulsa kids that he had to put up with for a solid hour and a half.

Ironically I did the same offer 10 days earlier which I got from the OKC auto show ( shameless plug ). They had a Raptor but weren’t letting anyone drive it.

The first time I did it a friend and I went to Joe Cooper in Midwest City (Just east of OKC), we drove a SHO and Focus ST. We had an awesome salesman, he let us hoon them out on the highway. Unfortunately, we could only go up their during the beginning of rush hour so there was a bit of potential hoonage left on the table. Still I was pleasantly surprised they let two obviously poor college students test drive. I know a few others who got shafted by Ford dealers who just took the paperwork, filled it out, and kicked them off the lot without a drive.
