			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want something spectacular to go with the already awesome savings you’re getting when your purchase a four pack oil change?</p>
<p>Well, you’re in luck, because now you can get such a spectacular item in the form of a Collector’s Series Glass from Capital Ford Lincoln, your <a href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com" target="_blank">Regina Ford Dealer</a>!</p>
<p>Each glass in the series of four retails for $16.95 each, but when any customer purchases a Four Pack Oil Change, they get a collector’s glass for free. You’re already saving a bundle with the bulk oil changes, so getting a free item thrown in is just that much better.</p>
<p>First off in the series, and already available, is the Model T Collector’s Glass. Next, 2 of 4, is the 1948 Ford. After that, 3 of 4, is the 1955 Thunderbird, and last but not least, (especially because this is the one everyone will be waiting for) is, 4 of 4, the 1965 Mustang Collector’s Glass. In this quick video, Russ introduces the glasses and gives us all the details!<br />
<object width="510" height="310"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RdxYpCKtsGE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RdxYpCKtsGE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="510" height="310"></embed></object></p>
<p>Each individual collector’s glass is only up for grabs for two months before it&#8217;s shelved forever!</p>
<p>Wanting something a little extra isn’t a crime, nor is it selfish. Get that little bit extra you’re wanting by collecting these glasses. They’re sure to make a great collectors item, perfect for the motor-head and average Joe alike!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s game on for the <a title="Check out the Ford Taurus Inventory @ Capital Ford" href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com/new-inventory/index.htm?SByear=2010&amp;SBmake=Ford&amp;SBmodel=Taurus&amp;SBbodystyle=clear&amp;SBprice=clear" target="_blank">2010 Ford Taurus.</a> At the tail end of last week the Taurus took on a staring role in a new online interactive game. I tried the game out and was absolutely blow away within a few seconds. It&#8217;s definitely taking gaming to the next level by fully integrating the vehicle and its technology and features into the gaming experience. I mean&#8230; you can really use the Ford Taurus&#8217;s gadgets and du-dads from Microsoft&#8217;s SYNC to the radio volume to the park assist &#8211; self parking system.<span id="more-590"></span></p>
<div id="attachment_592" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://capitaltailgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/taurusSecondary.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-592" title="taurusSecondary" src="http://capitaltailgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/taurusSecondary-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">“What we really liked about creating the online game with USA is that it not only introduces Taurus to millions of consumers through the popularity of online gaming but provides them with a very engaging way to experience the innovative technology and features in the new Taurus.” – Jeff Eggen, Ford Car Experiential Marketing Manager</p></div>
<p>The game, “<a href="http://chasingtheshadow.usanetwork.com/ " target="_blank">White Collar: Chasing the Shadow</a>,” is an extension of the critically acclaimed USA NETWORK drama “White Collar,” which follows a con artist and FBI agent who team up to catch bad guys. The Taurus is not only featured prominently in the television series but now in a new online game that allows players – acting as FBI trainees – to drive the Taurus and use its features to catch a notorious villain dubbed “The White Shadow.”</p>
<p>What makes this initiative unique is that the <a href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com/new-inventory/index.htm?SByear=2010&amp;SBmake=Ford&amp;SBmodel=Taurus&amp;SBbodystyle=clear&amp;SBprice=clear" target="_blank">2010 Taurus</a> isn’t just along for the ride. The new and class-exclusive technologies in the Taurus are used to interpret clues and collect evidence.</p>
<p>For example, players use the Ford SYNC technology to access text messages that contain important crime-solving tips.</p>
<p><strong>Online game product placement: Kicking it up a notch</strong><br />
Product placement in online games is not new for Ford, but the depth of the <a href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com/new-inventory/index.htm?SByear=2010&amp;SBmake=Ford&amp;SBmodel=Taurus&amp;SBbodystyle=clear&amp;SBprice=clear" target="_blank">Taurus</a> integration in “White Collar: Chasing the Shadow” is.</p>
<p>Ford is continually looking for ways to extend partnerships – like the one with USA NETWORK – in meaningful ways.</p>
<p>If you would like to experience the Taurus in the new online game, please visit <a href="http://chasingtheshadow.usanetwork.com/">http://chasingtheshadow.usanetwork.com/</a> and click on the “games” tab at the top of the page. If you&#8217;d like to see the real Taurus in person or have any questions about it come down to <a href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.com">Capital Ford</a> leave and questions in the comment field!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again &#8211; when the snow starts to fall, many drivers and their vehicles may not be prepared to drive on wet or icy winter roads. To stay safe, there are several things to remember.</p>
<p><a title="Visit the Capital Ford Lincoln Website" href="http://www.capitalfordlincoln.ca" target="_blank">Capital Ford Lincoln</a> and <a title="Visit Ford.ca" href="http://www.ford.ca" target="_blank">Ford Canada</a> are pleased to provide the following tips on how to be ready for winter conditions to avoid getting stuck out in the cold.<span id="more-288"></span></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Vehicle maintenance:  Vehicles that have been regularly maintained according to their manufacturers required maintenance schedule should be ready for winter weather.  If not, a visit to the local dealership to “catch up” on your required maintenance will ensure the vehicle is ready for the season.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Read your owner&#8217;s manual: All vehicles have different characteristics that will react to winter weather differently.  This is a good time to check the manual for your particular vehicle&#8217;s winter driving tips.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Monitor tire wear:  There are three important aspects when it comes to tires: pressure, tread wear and age.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tire pressure:  Cold weather causes tires to lose pressure and become underinflated; meaning your safety on the road is compromised.  Check your tire pressure regularly, especially when the temperature changes.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tire tread depth:  Proper tread depth can be key to slipping less and gripping the road better.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tire age:  Old tires can be unsafe tires, especially in the winter.  It is recommended that tires over six years old be replaced.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>All season and summer tires begin to lose their grip around 7 degrees Celsius.  Consider switching to winter tires for better handling and braking performance.<br />

<p><strong>4.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Drive safely and be alert:  Safe driving is always important.  Remember to slow down and leave extra space between you and the vehicle in front of you.  Also, avoid abrupt moves &#8211; don&#8217;t stop, start, or change direction suddenly and you&#8217;ll maintain better control of your vehicle in inclement conditions.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Goodbye cruise control:  Never use the speed control in slippery conditions.  If the weather suddenly becomes hazardous while cruise control is engaged, simply disengage it manually or lightly tap the brakes.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get to know the safety feature alphabet:  Become more familiar with vehicle safety features such as ABS, TC, ESC and RSC, to understand how they can help.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking system do not require the driver to pump the brakes in slippery conditions when hard braking is required.  Apply firm, continuous pressure on the brake pedal and ABS may activate to help you maintain control of the vehicle.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Traction Control (TC):  This feature most often engages at low speeds.  In the majority of winter driving conditions, it is best to keep the traction control feature ON.  However, in extreme conditions – for instance, deep snow or sheer ice – it may be better to turn OFF your traction control to get moving.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Electronic Stability Control (ESC):  ESC helps prevent your vehicle from skidding out or sliding laterally in slippery conditions.</p>
<p>•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®):  AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ helps to avoid a rollover in a collision situation.</p>

<h3>How You Can Get With The Program</h3>
<p>If your still driving a 1995 vehicle or older we want to get that vehicle recycled! On average by doing so we&#8217;re going to improve the emissions you&#8217;re daily driver sends out into the air by a <strong>WHOPPING X19. </strong>To give that some perspective, think of the environment as a weight lifter who can only handle so many pounds. Let&#8217;s start with a new Ford, let&#8217;s say it&#8217;s putting 150lbs on that weight lifter and he&#8217;s squatting with no problem at all. Now, the average 95&#8242; (or older) is gonna kill the environment (weight lifter) with its 2850 lbs, or the equivalent of trying to put a Ford Focus on the poor weight lifters back. I don&#8217;t know about you but I would rather have our environment lifting a string been hundred and fifty pounds rather than a compact car that weighs almost 3000lbs.</p>
