    The best junk mail I ever got!!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Today I got what I figured was an ad from Ford in the mail. It was a glossy piece with the Ironman log all over it. So I popped it open and what do you know... Yes indeed it was a coupon for 1500.00 off a IM edition Explorer, but it also said "DENISE AMOS, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!! FORD IRONMAN TEMPE, AZ 4/9/06" and had my time above it!!! It says on it that it doubles as a picture frame! How cool is that?? Boy howdy the marketing folks at Ford have it nailed!! Now I ALMOST want to go out and buy a ford!

    That's so cool! You're right, those folks at Ford are smart.

    Aw, heck, you neeeed a new vehicle, right? To match the BMW? One that you can put stickers on? And with $1,500 off, they're practically giving them away!

    Yea, that's some IMPRESSIVE marketing.

    So, what makes this car so special? What did they do in reference to the Ironman? Just curious how it's different.

    Very cool (not the thought of purchasing another car, but that they sent that to you). Wow- they're really tugging at the ol' IM heartstrings. Pretty neat-o! You'll have to take a picture of your "junk mail" and post it so we can see (never thought I'd say that).

    Now, does that new Ford IM edition come with the perfect iron body? If so, I'm going to get one tomorrow. I need an iron body before my IM next month.
