Many drivers out there are suffering and they don’t even know it. Driving vehicles they thought they wanted because they were made to think it was the right choice for them. You’ve heard me say it before, come to O'Brien Ford of Shelbyville and let us show you the vehicles you actually want. more Trucks Obviously we have the right truck for you. The Ford F-150 is an American tradition and you see way more of them on the road than any other, especially older models. Reason for that is simple, when you buy a Ford truck you are joining a tradition of keeping your truck alive. We love our trucks, and they love us back. Cars This is where you can have a lot of fun. There have been some incredible breakthroughs with Ford vehicles over the years. We’ve made muscle cars, family cars, and cars that fit anyone that wanted to drive them because we’re not here to make a car and sell it to you. Our job is to make the car you want so you have a place to get it. Where To Get It If you’re going to own a Ford, then come talk to us at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville and let us be the ones to usher you into our family. In Lawrenceburg, F150 models are all over the road getting jobs done and looking great. We’re proud to help Lawrenceburg. Ford Fusion is the other jewel in our 2013 cap. More new Fusion vehicles are on the road than I can hardly believe. Want to see what all the fuss is about?

That’s right, get a new Ford. I know I’m always saying the time is now, but you really have to listen to me when I tell you these things. Ford is moving so fast towards the future that it almost feels like a cliché just to talk about it. With our new designs and the stuff you don’t even know about that is coming, you need to act before we improve beyond what we’ve done so far. more So Far Right now we have pickup trucks that are getting ever closer to 30mpg. Can you imagine that? I can remember being enamored about 18 mpg and here we are pushing double that. Our trucks have always been top of the line, but after what I’ve been showing you on the Atlas that we’re going to integrate into the F series, they’re only going to get better. What’s Next Well again, obviously you’ve seen the innovation coming in the truck line, but you should see what we’re going with the cars. Today I talked to a guy who was raving about the go fast engine you can get in the new Fusion. He knew what I was talking about, do you? Join Us Listen Frankfort, Ford is going to continue to push the limits of what we can do with our vehicles. When we reach the limit of what we can do with our current models or technology, we’ll create new ones. It is just how we do things Frankfort. Ford Fusion is only one of our latest marvels, come see the rest.

My friends I want you all to officially meet the myth, the legend, the Atlas! If you haven’t seen the newest member of the Ford truck family, then you have missed the best thing to come from Ford since the assembly line. more It’s A Monster If you want to know what the future meaning of Built Ford Tough is, then you need to follow me through this. Much like the Canyonero of the Simpsons, this thing is near 65 tons of American pride. The advanced technology that this thing presents is beyond what even we at the dealership expected to see this soon. Aerodynamics Depending on how you’re using the truck the Atlas will adjust its shape and design to suit. How amazing is that? There are shutters in the grill that depending on the temperature of the air verses the engine and the speed that you’re traveling, the shutters will open and close and a front spoiler will lower beneath the bumper to further improve its air flow. The Future I can promise you that there are so many advancements in this one vehicle that I will be telling you about it for months to come. The Atlas isn’t going to show up on the lot just yet so there are still other options to keep you enticed and driving like the 2013 Ford Taurus. Lawrenceburg police are certainly wishing they had the new interceptor mod for it and you’re going to love it too. If you’re not ready to step up yet Lawrenceburg, Ford Fusion is still the best thing on the lot. Check us out, we’re O'brien Ford of Shelbyville!

So I’ve been talking with other folks in the car selling business lately, and there is a lot of talk that some of the brands on top are about to see a drastic change. The tsunami had a major impact on the rise and fall of some of our competitors. Those that fell are planning their 2013 comeback, but one thing will not change this year. My friends, Ford is still shooting for the moon. more Hit The Target Ford takes advantage of every opportunity that we are given, and the one thing that has yielded us is that we keep rising. Opportunity isn’t just every few years, it is every day. Each time one of you visits our lot and allows us to help you pick the perfect car or truck, that is how we keep our rise going. Every Day 2012 was one of the best years ever for Ford, and personally from where I’m sitting I don’t see why 2013 can’t match or beat it. Nobody wants to shoot for the status quo. Successful people and businesses always shoot for setting new records and finding new success. Time Is Always Now Check out the new models! If you’re looking for the hot new ticket, you will love the new Fusion. Maybe you want something a little smaller in a 2013 Ford Focus. Shelbyville is just one part of the whole but just as important as the rest of the world when it comes to the Ford company's goals. If you live in Shelbyville, used cars or new cars in your future, Ford will help you achieve your own goals.

Well now my friends it is official. 2012 models are old, 2013 models are what’s hot, and before you know it the 2014 car show will come around telling us all how amazing it will be next year. That may seem like a long span of time, but not really when you’re this busy. more Let’s Get To Work 2012 was a great year for Ford. No doubt about that, but the best thing is always looking to the future. Sure this is the time of year where you leave your earned successes behind and begin again with new goals and challenges. Ford has been doing this and doing it better for over a century. Sure a lot of companies boast long histories, but how many technology companies can do it? What’s Your Goal What are you looking for in 2013? If you missed the year end clearance sales that doesn’t mean you can’t get the Ford you want. If you like the way the F-Series look, my hint to you is to get one while you can. Gas prices are slowly coming down while we quickly raise the truck mileage. If you want a new Fusion, well you should really hurry because so does the rest of the free world. Don’t Wait So you’ve got the whole year ahead of you.

I know that the next few days actually bring the happy holiday, but since I’ve already touched base on that, there is no reason to repeat myself. Time to move on. more How Will You Start You only get this chance once per year. To fool yourself into thinking you’re actually going to do anything different next year than you did this year.

Well my friends, Turkey day is nearly upon us and we all know what that means. Well you should all know what that means, but just in case you don’t. Turkey day is the time of year where we begin eating and don’t really stop for about a month and a half. God Bless America! more Danger Unfortunately Thanksgiving is also the most dangerous time of year to be on the road. Everybody gets out on the road at once and forgets how to drive. Accidents become common place and we all need to be extra careful on our way to the in-laws. Please be safe out there. Pay Off If you can be careful and not be one of those people who forget how to drive, then you will hopefully be treated to a well cooked turkey and all the sides to go along. Plus, if you get really lucky, then after the whole big dinner party, you’ll have loads of leftovers to take home and keep the car smelling like turkey and stuffing for a couple of days. New Car For Thanksgiving I know it usually isn’t tradition to give gifts on Thanksgiving, but this year is special. My sister’s birthday happens to be on Thursday, so she gets one. The rest of you will have to settle for taking a trip from Louisville, Ford being your destination. While you’re taking a break from Louisville, 2013 Ford Edge should be high on the list of things to see before the new year.

Recently Ford pledged $1 Million to the Red Cross for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. Ford doesn’t just go around saying they are a company who cares, they prove it with actions over words. more Next Step I’ve spent the last year on this blog talking to you all about how great Ford has been doing with our growth, product upgrades and much much more. My fear at this point going into a new year is that you’ll become bored with nothing but positive results. After all, bad news and dirty laundry usually hold people’s interest longer, but Ford keeps running down the positive trail. Join Us In a world that is shrouded in constant bad news, I urge you to take a break and join me in the celebration of the positive. Ford not only helps those in need when they have no obligation to it, but they also keep making strides to innovate the industry when other companies simply let someone else pave the way. Ford says, this is our road, follow if you want. Get On Board If you’re looking for one of our newest innovations, then check out the Ford Escape 2013. Louisville will be full of them I promise. When you’re ready Louisville, Ford will be here waiting to help you upgrade into the nicest vehicle I guarantee you’ve ever owned.

Ok folks, that magical time of year is here. You’re wondering or planning what amazing things will be done to the turkey to make your bird the talk of the town.

Of course, it is also the time of year where you can drive off in a new car or truck for cheap. more Get It While You Can The super new 2013’s are arriving all the time, and if you want to grab one of the few 2012’s left on the lot, you’re going to have to hurry. Obviously I’m not going to go into too many details right now, but if you want a brand new car then you are going to be in luck, but not for long. The Time is Now If you’re thinking that you’re going to wait until December, or after Thanksgiving, then I have some different news for you. That is probably not going to be the case.

Enjoy it while you can friends, because we all know it will not last. This week was kind of lame in the weather department, but it looks like the weekend has given us possibly our last glimpse of good weather before it all falls apart until spring. Sad I know, but it doesn’t mean you can’t still get a great deal on a truck to fight the winter with. more Cold War Every year it gets cold and icy and we all watch the other cars careen up and down the hills. This year I encourage you to check out the new technology and benefits of having a Ford Pickup Truck. Four wheel drive doesn’t make you impervious to the effects of snow and ice, but it certainly gives you a leg up. In fact, you’re way safer in a truck than anything else when you think about it. Heating Up Ford is quickly approaching the time when we have crazy prices on the old as we bring in the new. Now is your chance to score the truck you’ve wanted for the price you’ve been dreaming of. Don’t wait until the weather is already here to learn your new vehicle. Act early and be an expert when it happens. Good Luck Winter will happen whether you’re ready or not, so you might as well be ready. In an iced over Shelbyville, used Ford Superduty would be like an arctic cat.
