So, I'm driving the new 2015 Ford Escape from my friends at Bill Colwell Ford in Hudson. This vehicle has turned my ordinary days in the Cedar Valley into extraordinary ones!

I spent the entire weekend calling everyone in my phonebook while driving around Waterloo and Cedar Falls.......because I could! Ford Sync (which is powered by Microsoft) allows you to engage the navigation system and adjust the music settings, among other things, with a button on the steering wheel and by voice activation! It's completely safe, so safe the car will read your text messages to you, so there's no texting and driving!

Now nobody can say I don't keep in touch with them! And I don't care if you think this is weird, but the female voice saying certain people's names in my contact list as I was calling them just made me smile!

Driving the 2015 Ford Escape will make you smile, and I'd love to tell you more, so join me at 238 Waterloo Road in Hudson on Saturday between noon and 2pm and Bill Colwell Ford and myself can turn your ordinary day into an extraordinary one with their Extraordinary Escape Sale! Lease a brand-new Ford Escape for as low as $189 a month.

Sunroof's coming down on the way home today; got to go shopping tonight so I'll tell you how that goes tomorrow. (3/9/15)

Went shopping yesterday. You may not believe this, but when you factor in how much I cook I love grocery shopping. And grocery shopping turns into an extraordinary experience while driving this new 2015 Ford Escape from Bill Colwell Ford.

The rear-view camera is a must-have nowadays in the parking lots; it's one of the many safety features you can find with the Escape.

I particularly loved the ability to open the back hatch with just a swipe of my feet under the bumper, which is perfect for when your hands and arms are full. The hands-free liftgate is one of the many extraordinary features on the brand-new 2015 Ford Escape, and you can get one for as low as $19,990 as part of Bill Colwell Ford's Extraordinary Escape Sale. Lease a new Ford Escape for only $189 a month.

I'm going to be in Hudson at Bill Colwell Ford between noon and 2 on Saturday. Hopefully you can join me for the Extraordinary Escape Sale!

By the way, all week on Twitter and Facebook, tell us something that turns you from ordinary to extraordinary. Use the hashtag #ExtraordinaryEscapeSale, and you could win a $50 gift card from Bill Colwell Ford and Q92.3! (3/10/15)

I've got a friend moving. I know he's going to ask me even though he knows I had my back removed after the war; he doesn't care. I don't think he believes me anyway.

You know what's more extraordinary than the tales I tell to people I know to get out of doing things? The new 2015 Ford Escape which you can get at Bill Colwell Ford as part of their Extraordinary Escape Sale. Hopefully he needs to move Saturday between noon and 2pm, because I'll be at 238 Waterloo Road in Hudson meeting Q92.3 listeners and singing the praises of the extraordinary people at Bill Colwell Ford.

And the car. I'm really digging this new Ford Escape. It looks small but it really does have an extraordinary amount of space; I found this out when I did one of my grocery shopping binges. 67.8 cubic feet of cargo room in the Escape, which is more than the Chevy Equinox or Jeep Cherokee (I've seen both of those vehicles before and they look so much bigger on the outside) so you know they've got it engineered to use the most of its space. I know I'm going to have to fold the seats down when I help my friend move, and they fold down easy giving you so much more room.

I will probably be a jerk and only tell him about the hands-free liftgate (where you can open the back hatch by swiping your foot under the bumper) after we're done. Unless he buys me dinner. I'll show him one of the coolest features of the Ford Escape then.

The brand-new 2015 Ford Escape starts at only $19,990, or you could lease one for $189 a month, as part of the Extraordinary Escape Sale at Bill Colwell Ford in Hudson. Tell them you read about this from the guy on the New Q Morning Show. (3/11/15)

Something I've always noticed -- but just really noticed -- about the 2015 Ford Escape that I'm driving from Bill Colwell Ford in Hudson? There's little blind spot mirrors on the side rearview mirrors. There are some drivers out there who really need this, and I'm not even talking about bad drivers. I'm talking about unlucky drivers. Maybe you've been one. You getting along just fine on the road, and then something happens.

Well, let me tell you. The new 2015 Ford Escape will change your luck. The blind spot mirrors, the backup camera, and the airbags -- there's 7 of them, and they can be adjusted based on a passenger's size (!) -- are just a few of the extraordinary features on the Escape. Safety is always extraordinary.

Make sure to stop by Bill Colwell Ford at 238 Waterloo Road in Hudson on Saturday between noon and 2pm. I'll be there as part of the Extraordinary Escape Sale, where you can get your own 2015 Ford Escape for as low as $19,990 or lease one for only $189 a month.

Don't forget to tell us on Facebook or Twitter what turns you from ordinary to extraordinary. You could win a $50 gas card from Bill Colwell Ford and Q92.3! (3/12/15)
