Those 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.

Ford Gains Ground In Europe
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.

Just Truckin Around
Is your ride a coupe or sedan? Is your view constantly obstructed by a truck, making traffic the most oppressive nightmare of all time?
Well like the bumper sticker says, “If You Can’t Beat Um, JOIN UM.”
Not only are trucks the perfect weapon against the pothole tyranny that has befallen the New-Metro area, driving a truck is like the South’s secret handshake. It’s like, “Who’s this joker? Wait is that an F-150? I thought that was you, how’ve you been brother?!”
Not convinced?
Well perhaps try these scenarios on for size, after which we DEFY YOU to not jump into your lame 4-door and fly to Lamarque Ford for a Truck-grade.
(See what we did there? It’s like upgrade, but with “Truck.” This is both a dealership and a comedy club.)
These are luxury vehicles plus your list of assets now includes “built-in pool.” Your stock just went up.

CAR WARS: The Internet Strikes Back
The future is here!! Well… almost. The race is on to develop the first commercially-available autonomous car. Cruise control? More like LOSE CONTROL!
Who, you might ask, is in the race to launch this person-free driving machine? Ford? Chrysler? GM? Surprisingly, NONE of the the “Big Three” manufacturers have decided to join the competition, and have decided to leave this new technology to Silicon Valley. As of now, Google and Apple are leading the charge to take the wheel away from us all.
REVENGE OF THE COMPUTER NERDS has descended upon the Auto Universe, taking the designs, functionality and features to another dimension.
Supposing ALL of Silicon Valley get’s in the race, how would their respective cars perform?
Google
-A car that, much like Google Chrome, crashes immediately upon starting up.
-They call it “Google Plus Car,” which everyone uses it for a week and then immediately go back to driving their Ford.
-It keeps mistakenly driving you to strip clubs and adult novelty stores.
Facebook
-You don’t have to steer the car, but you have to “like” and “share” everything that it does in order to keep it going.
-Every time you get in, one of your annoying relatives is already in your back seat and wants to show you some dumb meme that you already hated a month ago.
-Every time you pass another car it asks you, “do you recognize this person?”
Twitter
-Get’s you there in 140 seconds, while the facebook car takes a month to get to the same point.
-If you ever state an opinion while driving it, every other car on the road immediately tries to run you over and kill you.
Microsoft
-It takes 30 minutes to start up if you didn’t clean its Windows after it’s last drive.
-Pulls over to the side of the road every 5 minutes until you update your Anti-Virus software
Apple
-Cost twice as much as the Microsoft car and only hipsters and college kids want to drive it.
-Drives great for a while, then freezes, starts to spin, and dies.
Tinder
-Keeps veering off the road to either the left or the right.
-Pretty sure all of the places that it’s going to take you to don’t look anything like their pictures.
Instagram
-Car only comes in “Valencia,” “X Pro II,” “Mayfair” and “Lo-Fi.”
-Only aspiring models, compulsive over-eaters (food pornography is an addiction) and anyone who has ever walked around outside, are the only people who get financing. The more unemployed, the better.
Craigslist
-Trying to buy the car, but instead you just wire some money to a Nigerian prince.
Tumblr
-Just a car full of teenagers that don’t know what they are doing.
Ford Rangers “Now Playing” in Nigeria
Ford Motor Company has just made known to the public their plans to release the Ford Ranger to Nigerian markets. Outside of South Africa, It is actually the first country to produce Ford vehicles on the continent The assembly plant in Ikeja, Nigeria is set to create 180 new jobs, while also having the ability to produce 5,000 units a year.
As many may recall, the Ford Ranger used to sell in the United States but is now being sold in foreign countries that don’t have access to the Ranger or similar vehicles like the Ford F-150. Even though the assembly plant for the Ranger pick-up is stationed in Nigeria, the production team stationed there has been churning out vehicles for over 130 markets in Europe, the Middle East and other parts of Africa. That kind of productivity is really benefiting Africa’s livelihood, as Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa. The plant’s efficiency can be seen in the fact that the Ranger was the best-selling vehicle in South Africa for the first half of the year.
“Today’s announcement will allow us to better serve our customers both from a retail point of view, and in terms of vehicle and parts availability,” said Jeff Nemeth, president and CEO of Ford Motor Company of Sub-Saharan Africa region. “We are committed to supporting Nigeria’s developing automotive industry and economy. “
