Hat's Off to Don Carbone! for supporting the Wounded Warrior Project. I'll bet that was fun taking your car back to the dealer that sold it to you. I bet he enjoyed it as much as you too. Have fun on your trip, safe travels and hope to see you again in September.
Way cool!!! Have a safe and fun trip up there! Go Wounded Warriors!!! :D
Nice to see that Ford dealer not only supporting the Pinto he sold so many years ago, but opening his heart and his wallet to help a worthy cause when times are tough. Great job Dave! great job Don! Let's here it for dave, the one man Stampede.
Hats off to Dave AND Don!!! :drunk:

Way to go Sheriff Dave!!!
I guess my local Ford dealership didn't care enough to return my
calls about some support for our Wounded Warriors. Evidently
nothing has hit close home for them.

Thank you Dave, well done. Dick
Don't feel bad Postal, my dealer put me off as well and the three Ford delaers in Denver didn't want anything to do with the Stampede, I hope they watched Fox News on Saturday night the 28th of June! :lol:
Dave's dealer had the right stuff, the stuff that brought us to Ford in the first place.

Hats Off! to Don and Dave!
I got home last night at 11:30 . 2,400 miles , Zero problems ! I have put almost 10,000 miles on my Pinto since March !
good to hear you made it home safe, sound and the Pinto is running strong!
here are some more pics of my visit with Don
a condensed story about my visit was in the print version of the Utica Observer Dispatch. I really liked the headline "CARBONE SUPPORTS FORD PINTOS AND MILITARY"
