How about a reality show where Ford chooses an unwitting participant(s) who gets shut out, shut down or repo-driven to a dealership or junkyard and it’s just a prank, but in the end and for being a good sport, the participating “deadbeat of interest” gets to drive a Ford of their choosing for one year, courtesy of the FoMoCo. Awww, I love a happy ending!
