When Kela Holmes was in college, she dreamed of a career as an opera singer. Life, however, threw her a curveball. Unable to afford to continue on at school, Kela instead joined the military.
While she regretted the fact that she’d never know what it was like to connect with audiences from a stage, she knew she was serving another important role: that of soldier and protector.
There's nothing quite like a hard-hitting pothole to put a damper on your morning commute. Not only do they make for an unpleasant jolt in your traveling experience, but they can actually cause serious damage to your vehicle--particularly when you don't see them coming, or aren't able to brace yourself in time.
But there's good news for midsize sedan drivers from Ford: on the upcoming 2017 Ford Fusion Sport model, an all-new, class-exclusive pothole mitigation system can help to protect you and your beloved car against pesky potholes.
Indulging in a moment where you're wholly present and completely unburdened by any stress or outside distractions is often hard to come by these days. Our world is persistently presenting us with challenges and responsibilities and sometimes we need a release. The 2016 Ford Fusion was designed to deliver joy to its drivers, simply and without complication.
We've seen sport trims on midsize sedans before, but never like this. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the Blue Oval did more than unveil its refreshed, 2017 Fusion sedan. It also unveiled the Fusion Sport, which clocks in with a metric trunk-load of power and performance chops that's certain to leave competing models in the proverbial dust.
Have you ever been in a parking lot, cleaning your car free of leaves or snow and felt a presence? You could tell that someone was watching you, but as you glanced around, saw no one. Continuing to clean the car, you whistle a tune, stopping now and then to stretch and glance around subtly.
That’s when you see him. Crouched in the shadow of the big, gnarled oak tree nearby. He’s watching you intently, dark eyes shining in the dim early morning light. Not a would-be attacker, not a mugger or predator, but a … squirrel.
Your car isn't the only thing that's designed specifically to weather the storm -- the roads they drive on are too. Most roads are made out of either asphalt or concrete, with the latter providing more rigidity to create the friction your tires need to avoid skidding in rain or snow. When your local Department of Transportation paves the roads, they create specifically measured grooves in the pavement, which also increases friction.

Though neither organization has announced anything official, word on the pedestrian-filled streets is Google and Ford are chatting each other up about a mutually beneficial partnership. For what purpose? Creating autonomous vehicles. For now, the pair are coyly avoiding the speculating public, but we at Richmond Ford Lincoln can't wait to congratulate the happy couple -- if the plans come to fruition, that is.

What would Christmas be without a tree? A nicely decorated, light-covered, star-topped tree helps put everyone in the Christmas spirit.

.If you're considering the popular -- and increasingly populous -- midsize crossover class for your next automotive purchase, you may've found that you need some help. After all, combing through the scores of available options isn't always easy.
With that said, we at Richmond Ford Lincoln are quick to recommend to you ours, the 2015 Ford Edge. And Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, is here to tell you why:
We've got to hand it to our beloved American brand; the Edge's base model -- the SE -- is an absolute beaut.
We at Richmond Ford Lincoln can't quite get over what our esteemed American automaker did with the all-new 2016 Ford Explorer. Nor do we want to. This delightful daily driver is a dream from which we never want to wake up.
Have you had a chance to scope it with your own two? Well, if not, take a moment to do just that right now:
This three-row crossover is offered in five distinctive trim levels. And for most consumers, the generously appointed base model should no doubt do the trick.
