Last weekend I had the privilege of participating in the Suburban Collection (@SubCollection) Social Test Drive program. The brains behind the Social Test Drive program are none other than Charlie Wollborg of Curve Detroit, and Dan Boismier, Internet Director of the Suburban Collection, the 15th largest dealership group in the nation. The program lends out cars from various Suburban dealerships around metro Detroit to social media addicts for a weekend. Letting them cruise around and tweet about the experience, not while driving of course.

I met with the great folks at Suburban Ford of Waterford, and they let me pick out a car to take home with me for the weekend to try out. I chose a 2012 Ford Focus 5 Door Titanium. I normally drive a Ford Edge, but I wanted to see what it was like to drive something smaller and more fuel efficient. I really loved the vehicle, and am contemplating a purchase soon. I thought I was downgrading, but with the My Ford Touch, leather heated seats, moon roof, automatic windshield wipers, and ambient lighting, it was more of an upgrade! What a great experience!

A giant thanks to the folks over at Suburban Ford of Waterford, and to Jim Sardelli from the Suburban Collection for hooking me up!
