Ford to Stop Making ‘Boring Cars’

Maker of Mass Market Model T to Focus on Fun Sports & Luxury Vehicles Only

Ford, the company that brought us the revolutionary Model T and literally made cars affordable for the masses, is now stepping away from the very mass-market models that built its empire.

From Uncool to Iconic!

These are the Cars That Went from Zero to Hero

Cars can be weird, can’t they? One minute, they’re the laughing stock of the motor world, and the next, everyone’s fighting to get their hands on them. It’s like the fashion world: one day you’re wearing double denim and getting strange looks, the next, you’re a style icon (now apparently). That’s what’s happened to these cars – they were once the butt of jokes, but now they’re rolling down the street with their heads held high, basking in the glow of admiration and nostalgia.

However, over time, a few start to lose the lustre and begin to fade. They don’t hold up as well as first thought, and before you know it, those would-be automotive legends become the has-been also-rans that are best left forgotten. Unfortunately for you, I’m about to dredge them back up. Yup, let’s talk about the cars that went from cool to cringe – the motors that lost their spark as the miles piled on.

The Cruel Tyranny of the Mind

Despair is more than an absence of hope – it’s a mental labyrinth of self-sabotage and futility. Is there a way out, or are we destined to sink deeper?

Despair and desperation; a beckoning whirlpool void of emptiness that entertains no hope, no redemption, and certainly no mercy. Allow yourself to slide down that funnel and life leaves you even as you go on living a nightmarish nothingness.
