How does one define success? Is it the absence of failure? Is it the presence of greatness? Or, rather, can you simply define it by reaching, and hopefully exceeding a goal? This past weekend, on Saturday, November 7th, 2009, Ford of Ocala participated in a local event at the Marion Technical Institute labeled “Drive One 4UR School” that enabled members of local community to view and test drive a large assortment of Ford vehicles.
Hosted by Marion Technical Institute, the “Drive One 4UR School” event saw nearly 1,000 attendees, and 348 people test drove a Ford vehicle! As exciting as that is for Ford of Ocala, we are even more thrilled about what that means for MTI. In case you were not aware, for each person who test drove a Ford product (18 years of age and older, one driver per household) Ford donated $20 to MTI! We are proud to say that we reached our goal of at least 300 test drives, and it was all because of the hard work and dedication of the faculty, staff and students of MTI, and the staff of Ford of Ocala.
People from all walks of life came out to participate in the event, and we heard more positive feedback and comments than we had imagined. Some of which includes “Wow! This Fusion has a lot of room!” or “The acceleration in this vehicle is far more powerful than I anticipated.” and at times “I have got to get me one of these, may I have a business card, please?” Within our community of Marion County, and surrounding counties, Ford of Ocala is committed to provide the finest Ford products and services. We cannot express enough appreciation to the community for making this event, or each day we are in business a satisfying and enjoyable experience.
We hope that as more events transpire, you continue to come to them, and we continue to provide a safe, pleasant atmosphere for you to come to.
