Post by kostby »

Quote »(CBS4) NORTH MIAMI A man unhappy with the deal he got at a South Florida Ford dealership went on a rampage Saturday, setting the dealership and the car he had just purchased on fire, as stunned customers watched. 11 Cars, including the one he had just purchased, were destroyed, and police say damage could approach a million dollars.Sunday, he was released from jail after paying just $1500 on a $15,000 bond. Miami-Dade police estimate that damage to the dealership could exceed $800,000.Link to full story --> http://cbs4.com/watercooler/lo....html

Double ouch, actually: From the dealership home page (www.metroford.com) --> Quote » Ah, the 2006 Ford GT "Heritage" just arrived at Metro Ford. It is a limited edition, of only 250. Every car enthusiast dream and every collector's must. One of the most tantalizing pieces of moving art in the world.In heritage blue paint with epic orange stripes, the 2006 Ford GT "Heritage" is sure to turn heads....I guess that makes each of the other 249 remaining worth just a bit more!
