Pirates In New Orleans

September 29, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

jean-lafitteThe history of piracy in New Orleans goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. This can be traced to Jean Lafitte, a French-American who hailed as the Louisiana purchase was becoming official. However, Lafitte created his own intricate method of piracy. While he hailed from New Orleans and spent his younger years exploring the wetlands and bayou country south of New Orleans, he would soon use the city to house a port that facilitated the trading and exchanging of smuggled goods. The pirates were men he employed to be enforcers and a sales force. Lafitte is a legend in his own rite, as 1825 (only 2 years after his death), piracy along the Gulf of Mexico had essentially been eradicated to this day, as well as legends about his life story leave him compared to the likes of King Arthur and Robin Hood.

Bigfoot – BIG NEWS

September 29, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

DB383049_1-w900Those who witnessed Bigfoot in our commercial featuring our very own Ronnie Lamarque can breathe a sigh of relief- the monster would never live in New Orleans. The humid and hot climate that one can only grow to tolerate would be way too difficult for the beast to bare, as its fur coating would certainly make it prone to heat exhaustion. In fact, Bigfoot would likely only be found in the Pacific Northwest region (Washington and Oregon for example) and in mountainous areas that provide caves as shelters. Bigfoot would also never survive the water boil advisories in New Orleans, because it dehydrates rather easily. You can now enjoy sleeping with both of your eyes closed.

Which New Orleans Saint Is Your Ford?

September 24, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

fiesta

Fiesta Mark Ingram-Running Back

The Ford Fiesta often feels bigger than it actually is when you’re inside of it, and the

upscale interior makes you feel like you bought a luxury car at a steal price. Once

former Heisman-winner Mark Ingram found his groove with the Saints, he became a

force despite his relatively short 5”10 stature.

 

focus

Focus Marques Colston- Wide Receiver

The Ford Focus has been around for a while. While it’s not the quickest make there

is, it’s well respected and one of the more utilized cars by Ford owners. It’s a

“sleeper” car, known less for its flashiness and more for its reliability, which

captures veteran wide receiver Marques Colston in a nutshell. It’s also known for

being a “quiet ride”, a good fit for a player nicknamed the “quiet storm”.

 

fusion

Fusion Jairus Byrd- Safety

By no means is longtime make the Ford Fusion one of the bigger cars out there, but

it’s continually praised for its maneuverability and precision. It can also be quite

eye-catching (when it’s not injured).

 

mustang

Mustang Brandin Cooks- Wide Receiver

This all-American classic is known for its flashiness and acceleration. It’s used by

multiple racecar drivers in speed-racing and drag-racing. Cooks can outrun anyone

in the league and does so every game, as he quickly became the Who Dat Nation’s

top wide receiver in only his 2nd year.

 

super duty

Super Duty Zach Strief- Offensive Tackle

This may be amongst the easiest comparisons to make. The Super Duty

pickup is a large and durable presence that commands respect

wherever it goes, which is precisely what offensive line captain Zach

Strief brings on and off the field.

September 17, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Auto sales are making a comeback in Europe. This past August, the industry

reported sales growth at 10.9% relative to past monthly numbers, and 8.9% growth

since the beginning of the year.

Even with the auto industy’s market size expanding, Ford’s bringing in the biggest

piece of that pie.

As demand in Europe increases for larger and commercial vehicles, Ford is cashing

in, and actively taking market share. Ford has gained an additional 2.3% share of

commercial vehicles in August (to 14.3%) and an additional 1.7% share of

commercial vehicles to date (to 12.5%). Ford has outperformed the auto industry in

terms of its own sales growth as well, as the company experienced 11.7% relative

growth in the month of August and 10% this year thus far.

Ford is now the second most popular car brand in Europe behind Volkswagen.
