Tailgating Tips from Lamarque Ford

September 20, 2019 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again, football season! And with football season comes another staple, tailgating. Tailgating is a fun way for people to come together and support their favorite teams. No invitation needed! No matter the weather or the opponent, Louisianians never need an excuse to come together, have a ball, and celebrate our favorite football teams.

Menu Matters

It’s no secret that Louisianians know how to cook. Anything we can cook in the kitchen; we can definitely whip up in the parking lot before the big game. Stick with local favorites that you can create large pans of, such as jambalaya or boudin. Simple dishes, like hot dogs and hamburgers, work well too and are often a crowd favorite.

Just like your favorite team, make sure to have a game plan when it comes to your tailgating menu. Do all your prep work at home!

Show Your Colors

A festive atmosphere always puts people in a gameday mood. Only setting up one plain table and throwing some chips and dip out is not going to cut it. From a table cloth decorated with your team colors and logo to setting up a pop-up man cave full of team memorabilia, your tailgating atmosphere is essential for keeping everyone pumped for the game.

To go the extra mile, tailgate with Louisiana’s favorite tailgating accessory, a Ford F-150. It’s large bed and cab are perfect for storage, setting up food, or lounging before the game. With the right set up, the opportunities are endless!

Clean Up After Yourself

Bring plenty of trash bags, paper towels, and even disinfectant wipes. Industrial grade trash bags are definitely recommended. People will be running through food, cups, utensils, napkins, you name it. You don’t want your trash bag exploding mid-tailgate. Make sure your group follows your example and leaves the tailgating space cleaner than when you arrived.

From everyone at Lamarque Ford, we hope everyone has a safe and happy tailgating season!

A Ford Halloween

October 18, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Who is ready for a Ford Halloween? For over 30 years, Michigan Central Station sat vacant, eerily standing guard overlooking Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood. Ford officially bought the train station this past summer, for the recently disclosed price of $90 million, Detroiters were excited at the possibility that the building’s beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture would finally see new life.

Upon opening its doors in 1913, the classic Beaux-Arts-style building became an immediate fixture of downtown Detroit. It was an opulent, 18-story building and the tallest train station in the world at the time.

Since 1988, the Detroit station has been abandoned. It fell into a dilapidated state and has starred as a gritty and derelict backdrop to films such as Eminem’s 8 Mile, Transformers and Batman v. Superman.

Before Ford plans to redevelop the area for its new headquarters, it’s going to haunt Detroiters to a haunted house. For only one day this Halloween season, Ford will turn the depot’s first floor into a haunted house. The Ford Motor Company Fund is to provide community services and they will fund the entire haunted experience.

After the Haunted House, Ford plans to redevelop the space as an innovation hub and to revitalize the Grand Hall with local retail and restaurants. Before the ambitious project gets underway, it’s opening its doors for one night only this Halloween as a Haunted House.

Priority access will be given to local residents and will be free to the public. Tickets will go fast! In this Halloween season, we also have a special promotion running at Lamarque Ford featuring scary low prices. Click here to see what savings are in store for you. No matter what you are looking for, whether it be a new or used car, auto financing options, car service appointments, test drive, or help to figure out what auto part you might need.

It’s no trick. Come treat yourself at Lamarque Ford.

Ronnie Lamarque Shoots for the Stars on America’s Got Talent

August 15, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

You read that headline right, Ronnie Lamarque was on America’s Got Talent! By now, you already know that Ronnie Lamarque can get your amazing deals on Ford automobiles. However, did you know that Ronnie Lamarque can also sing? Last year on November 17th, Ronnie Lamarque gave a performance that made an impression on everyone that attended.

Not only was his voice seasoned perfectly, Ronnie made the show personal. The jumbo screen behind the stage showed photos of him and his family all the way through his life. In addition, Ronnie Lamarque has produced an album called 17-71.

The album name comes from his current age, and the age where he got his first big break. A Chicago producer offered to record and promote a pair of songs sung by Ronnie Lamarque, but it wasn’t meant to be. From the moment on, Ronnie Lamarque sang whenever he had an opportunity. He led a bar band called Ronnie and The Jolly Rogers and he’s incorporated his singing in Lamarque commercials the whole way through.

Now, Mr. Lamarque has done something even bigger: he auditioned for America’s Got Talent. Despite the remarks from Simon Cowell, the other judges were a huge fan of Ronnie’s raw talent.

As faith is a huge part of Ronnie’s life, he knew that God had a plan for his audition at AGT. Due to his wife’s current battle with breast cancer, Ronnie knows in his heart that his time should be spent here at home so that he can take care of his wife. We are all rooting for you Ronnie! You’re a natural born star at home, on the stage, and at Lamarque Ford.

HOT WHEELS: Tire Fire Sale Happening NOW!

November 20, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

When considering car safety, most motorists ignore their tires. Tires are more than just rubber, as they directly interact with the surface and transmit power from your car into the ground. Tires also play a vital role in breaking, stability and fuel economy. It should come as no surprise then, that tire technology as been consistently improving over the years. Here are some tips that will help you and your car drive better.

tires-ronnielogues

 

Monitor Your Tire Pressure

Most new vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which is a sensor that alerts the driver when tire pressure is low. However, some systems are more sensitive than others, so it is recommended to regularly check the pressure with a pressure gauge. Always consult your owner’s manual to ensure your tires have the optimal amount of air. Remember that improper tire pressure can compromise stability and breaking, so take this seriously!

Rotate Your Tires

Rotating the tires to opposite corners of your car will extend their life. Although this step is not crucial for safety, it can save you a few bucks in the long run. Most cars have traction on only one or two wheels, so there’s always more wear on a certain pair of tires (front ones or rear ones). Hence, rotating them evens out the damage to the tread evenly.

Keep Them Balanced

Tires only need to be balanced when they’re first put on your wheels. Each tire is balanced to its own wheel, so rotating the tires does not necessarily mean you have to get them balanced. However, if you’ve damaged the sidewall or hit a big pot hole, you could be better off with a balancing. Any time a tire and rim are separated, they need to be balanced.

Inspect Tires For Wear

This might not be part of your daily routine, but it could even save your life. Your tire can be visually damaged and still not be detected by the pressure monitoring system. Don’t wait until is too late and your tire blows up at highway speeds! Some people recommend to inspect your tires daily before leaving for work, and is as simple as walking around your car looking for signs of damage like worn sidewalls or foreign objects in the tires.

Watch Your Weight

All tires are built to withstand a certain weight. Do not overload them as it could cause them to blow up or get damaged. Consult your owner’s manual or your tire warranty to learn more about your tires’ weight rating. Overloading your tires usually means you’re overloading your vehicle’s suspension, which is never a good idea. If it feels too heavy, it probably is.

Replace Accordingly

As you perform your scheduled car maintenance, ask your mechanic to look at your tires and see if they need to be replaced. The rule of thumb is the penny test, and consists on sticking a penny into your tire’s tread with Lincoln’s head upside down. If the tread covers the top of his head, you should be good to go. If there’s any concern over wet roads or hot weather, don’t hesitate to take your car to your local mechanic.

Ford: To Protect and Serve- the Police Interceptor

October 25, 2015 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Ford is keeping you safe, and not just with seat belts and airbags.

As of 2015, the Ford Police Interceptor became the best selling police vehicle in America. Since its introduction to the market in 2012, the Police Interceptor saw its market share climb from 40% to 61% among law enforcement vehicles in the US, and it’s still forecasted to increase.

It comes as both a sedan and utility vehicle. While the sedan has generated more sales nationally, the utility edition is the only utility-sized vehicle currently available to the police, which is perfect for when more space is needed (especially for canines).

So whenever you’re inside the car or outside of it, Ford’s always got you protected.

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.

Hit The Road, Jack! | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans, LA

road trip

 

Don’t you just LOVE hearing all about everyone else’s Memorial Day plans?
We have that in common.
Not.

There’s nothing more depressing and even stressful than not having plans over a long weekend, especially when everyone else has their act together.

It’s cool, we’ve got the solution. ROAD TRIP.
Pack an ice chest, make a playlist, throw some sunscreen, sandals and a bathing suit in a tote, and GO.
JUST DRIVE (in a Lamarque Ford car or truck…)!

Take an adventure!
Remember those times when you actually HAD a planned destination and as you passed billboards for random roadside attractions, would OOoooOO and AAhhh over how you just wish you had the time to stop? GOOD NEWS, THE TIME IS NOW.

Here’s a list of the types of attractions and oddities to consider checking out on your Expedition (which we are selling, notice how we slipped that in there):

Boat Charters
Casinos (the seedier the better)
Golf Courses
Trails to hike
Museums
Lakes and Swimming Holes
Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants
County Fairs or Amusement Parks
Quaint B&B’s and/or Bates Motel-esque 1-nighters. There’s something thrilling and sickening about braving a night in a sinister dwelling with “that special someone.”

HAPPY TRAILS!!
