2009 Ford Flex Limited: You Write the Caption

ford_flex_brown_1600.jpg

Happy New Year, captioners!

Dan Edmunds sent me this shot of the Ford Flex from his vacation.

We offer you: Been Driving All Night. I'm Pooped.

I know you can do better.

This is our first caption contest of the new decade. So, I want to ring the bell.

We'll post our favorite this afternoon.

Donna DeRosa, Managing Editor

The Flex left a few skid marks!

ergsum says:

04:38 AM, 01/ 8/10

Yes it leads to the Hershey Highway.

ergsum says:

04:38 AM, 01/ 8/10

Okay kids, the public pool is just to the left.

ergsum says:

04:39 AM, 01/ 8/10

What’s the Flex’s brown clearance?!

ergsum says:

04:39 AM, 01/ 8/10

Forget GPS, this is seat-of-your-pants navigation!

ergsum says:

04:50 AM, 01/ 8/10

Not surprisingly, the motel that night was a dump!

ergsum says:

04:50 AM, 01/ 8/10

We decided to pass on the best fudge shop around these parts.

I don't care what they say, that road is da sh**!!!

I'm not going down that crappy road again.

Meanwhile, after my colonoscopy...

Ha! Just like D.C.. Nothing but brown material on the left!!!

ergsum says:

05:53 AM, 01/ 8/10

Must be an old logging road.

lowmilelude says:

05:54 AM, 01/ 8/10

"Take Holloway, the other route always gets backed up."

ergsum says:

05:57 AM, 01/ 8/10

Dan’s kids begged him to stop calling the speed bumps "hemorrhoids"!

sammin says:

"Crap! That was our turn!"

ergsum says:

08:48 AM, 01/ 8/10

vwthing1 says:

08:55 AM, 01/ 8/10

Does anyone smell something?

vwthing1 says:

08:56 AM, 01/ 8/10

This must be the way to Turdsville, Oregon.

vwthing1 says:

08:57 AM, 01/ 8/10

I found the UPS store.

vwthing1 says:

09:02 AM, 01/ 8/10

Unfortunately, our Flex is equipped with intermittent wipers.

vwthing1 says:

09:03 AM, 01/ 8/10

Damn, our Flex does not have a rear wiper.

vwthing1 says:

09:04 AM, 01/ 8/10

We figured it was the perfect place to test the Flex's Launch Control.

actualsize says:

09:10 AM, 01/ 8/10

Q: "OK kids, should we go left or right?" A: "Depends."

vwthing1 says:

09:13 AM, 01/ 8/10

So this is the way to the proctologist's office.

"No Dumping"

vwthing1 says:

Only Hybrids go down that road.

Hollow road to the right

ergsum says:

01:27 PM, 01/ 8/10

How many bags of manure will fit in a Flex?

ergsum says:

01:29 PM, 01/ 8/10

Dan is such a brown noser.

ergsum says:

01:30 PM, 01/ 8/10

What's the differnce between a butt kisser and a brown noser? Depth perception!

sherief says:

01:31 PM, 01/ 8/10

The Flex and the Flatulent

sherief says:

01:44 PM, 01/ 8/10

Hope this won't diminish my Flex appeal.
