Daily Ford Quotes
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Henry Ford
Waldorf Ford wants to remind all of you, as the above quote greatly states, that to go against the grain is to define yourself. We encourage individuality both at the office and at home. It may seem a slight counter intuitive to tell you to be an individual by telling you to be like Henry Ford, but such is a false dichotomy. For the plane not only defines itself as a plane by going against the wind, but also soars. Come back for more quotes by Henry Ford and others about the Ford Motor Company.
Daily Ford Quote & Star Trek

“I don’t believe in no-win scenarios”
Captain James T, Kirk
This quote is obviously not from Henry Ford, It was said a few hundred years from now, by the future captain of the star-ship Enterprise.
In honor of the new trailer being released for the next Star Trek Movie, Waldorf Ford thought we would switch it up today. But this quote does describe the Ford philosophy pretty well. Waldorf Ford does not believe in no win scenarios either, and that is evident in our employees and our customers who seem to portray the same drive.
Some Star Trek Trivia for you, Zefram Cochrane, the fictional inventor of Warp Drive, was the distant relative of Henry Ford, Further The Star-Ship Enterprise will be manufactured by Ford Motor Corporation… Some have even said that Gene Rodenberry, Star Trek creator was inspired by Henry Ford.
Tell us what you think of the new Star Trek trailer, we might just take a test drive to the theater when this comes out.

David Correy Signs At Waldorf Ford
Thursday, November 15, 2012, at Waldorf Ford starting at 5pm, global recording artist David Correy made his return to Maryland to sign autographs at Waldorf Ford. The up and coming artist took time out of his busy schedule, to support the local food bank, as did many Southern Maryland residents.
Born in Brazil and raised in Maryland, his musical talents took him all over the world. Beyond the X-factor, David has received a full scholarship Berklee College of Music in Boston, and has started his own record company, Urban Rock Records.
“From one dreamer to another” captions a picture of David Correy signing an autograph for a fan on the star’s facebook. David would end up signing a plethora of autographs, for members of the general public, and Waldorf Ford employees, as well. Below David can be seen wearing a plush heart attached to a jacket, standing next to Waldorf Ford Dealer Operations Manager, Lisa Stephens. The autograph would be displayed in her office window.
After the event, everyone, Waldorf Ford, the general public and David Correy, agreed that the event was successful. Most importantly, the large number of attendees generated funds for the local food bank. We would like to thank all that attended and hope that you will join us for future events.
2013 FORD C.MAX and 2013 FORD FUSION
Two new powerful and fuel efficient cars have arrived at Waldorf Ford. The winner of the Hybrid Awards, the Ford C.Max and the stunning Ford Fusion.
Each car boast a wonderful 47 mpg, but some readers are wondering which one is right for them?
The Fusion, starting at $21,700 places you in the right merge of style and technology. The sleek design, focuses on a mature class, while the fuel economy allows for longer trips, more often, at lower prices. Unlike certain flashy sports cars, pulling into your neighborhood in a new Ford Fusion will not scream “mid-life crisis” instead this car will articulate refinery, and a lot of fun.
The 5 seat C.MAX boasts an improved aerodynamic design, giving it a unique appearance that will fit in at Chandra’s soccer game and concerts or nightclubs. Such a diverse audience the C.MAX has. Some have questioned what the C.Max actually is, calling it a Frankenstein car, created from pieces of Volkswagen, Vans, and Sports cars. Ignite the engine, and create the fire, the New Prometheus has given man.
Whatever car you choose, you will be able to go further with Ford.
Brand promoter – are you one?
Yesterday, when I was out and about in a 2013 Explorer, I happened to stop at a local grocery store to pickup some things. As I was walking into the grocery store a woman I didn’t know stopped me to ask how I liked my Explorer.
Have you ever had this happen? Seems like I am always being asked about whatever vehicle I am driving – whether it is an Explorer, Edge, Fusion or Super Duty. My answers are always honest about what I like and don’t like, but they do always end up promoting what I am driving. I guess its because I won’t drive it if I don’t like it….but that is probably the case with most of us.
So what did I tell her you ask? Well simply that I really liked the Explorer. It handles well, is roomy and gets decent gas mileage for it’s size. I encouraged her to take it for a test drive at a local event sponsored by our dealership. Hopefully she will and we can add another promoter to the Ford family.
It’s fast, it’s beautiful AND it’s STREET LEGAL.
There is a lot of talk recently about the 2013 Shelby GT500. This car puts out a ridiculous 650 horsepower and 631 foot pounds of torque. It’s fast, it’s beautiful AND it’s STREET LEGAL.
Fast. The force behind the speed is the 5.8L V8 Supercharged engine built here in North America. In fact, it is the most powerful engine ever built in North America. Almost every part of the power train has been tweaked to help maximize horsepower and to convert that horsepower to speed. Built with an all aluminum block, a new supercharger, upgraded cooling system, redesigned connecting rods, higher cooling fan capacity and much more… To help the driver harness all of this power and translate it to sheer speed, Ford developed Launch Control. Launch control combines brake and engine management to help keep the tires from slipping. The unique part of Ford’s system is that the driver can adjust engine speed settings to suit their driving style. Plus they are in control of other settings to help further define their preferences. All of these things (and more) packaged in the restyled exterior help Shelby GT500 achieve speeds in excess of 200 MPH.
Beautiful. Now don’t think for one second that just because the car is fast that you need to drive around town with a paper bag over your head so people don’t recognize you, because the car is ugly. This car is GORGEOUS! 7 different colors, three stripe options, window louvers, side scoops, two wheel choices and more that you can add or take off to suit your taste.
The Recaro seats are a must, in our opinion, if you are going to add the Track package. 2013 brings some modern touches to the Mustang look. HID headlamps with LED lighting are book ends for the updated billet grille which looks great above the thinner, neater lower air dams. The rear deck is updated with LED lamps that have a dark, almost tinted look to them. I swear, the Mustang looks meaner and tougher than it ever has!
Street legal. The question is can something this mean looking and fast really be street legal? YOU BET IT CAN – and it is! This car will turn heads with its looks and its roar. It is proof positive that Mustang’s do lead the pack of muscle cars. In the 1970’s many drag racers were looking for a car like this, something that could run a ¼ mile in 10 – 12 seconds. Now you can get it right off the showroom floor and take it to MIR and post those times…or quicker!
There will be a limited supply of the Shelby GT500 here at Waldorf Ford, in Southern Maryland and nationally. Don’t let that stop you from coming in to see what we have. If we don’t have one available, we might just have another Mustang that will fill that need for speed for you.

Ford hit the trifecta with the 2013 Fusion
So, what do we mean by “Ford hit trifecta with the 2013 Fusion”? The 2013 Fusion has great looks, its fuel efficient and its affordable, with fuel efficiency being the winner.
The exterior has an all new look. Sleek and sporty, with lines influenced by European designs. Many of the comments about the design compare the new look to that of an Aston Martin. The interior is also all new. You have more room and the quality of the materials used has been upgraded. Ford also won big with the amount of technology they have incorporated in the Fusion. MyFord touch controls have been made larger and have been made easier to use. They have added Active Park Assistance which will automatically parallel park the Fusion with the driver controlling the brake and throttle. Other additions are Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot and lane monitoring systems that help keep you out of harm’s way and finally a driver monitoring system which if it senses you are tired, it will light up a “coffee” icon on the instrument panel. Pretty cool, huh?
When it comes down to what powers the new Fusion, here is where you will see some other big changes. You will be able to choose from a 2.0L 4 cylinder, a 1.6L Ecoboost, a 2.0L Ecoboost, a hybrid and the plug-in hybrid. In fact, Fusion is the first sedan available with a choice of gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid power. Additionally, Fusion will be available with an automatic start-stop system, which shuts off the engine when the vehicle is not in motion to conserve fuel, and then restarts automatically when the gas pedal is pushed.
This is what one reviewer had to say, “The 2012 Fusion will be the first mid-size Ford sedan in recent memory to incorporate a global design/platform with a range of fuel efficient conventional and alternative power choices matched by state-of-the-art driver assist and infotainment systems. All of it goes into a package intended to raise the bar in the medium-priced mid-sized sedan segment with breakout style and dynamics.”
