Earlier this month in England, a woman was driving her first-generation Ford Focus when she went to light a cigarette, and it exploded.

Though the compact car was over a decade old, the terrifying blast that blew her windshield off had nothing to do with malfunctions in the vehicle. It was the "Smoke Away" air freshener she had just picked up from the store, and was bringing home in the back seat.

Ironically, while the product advertises itself as a way to eliminate odors…

Has the search for your next vehicular purchase led you to the midsize sedan class? Well, if so, we here at Don Wood Ford Lincoln Inc. think you might like to have a good, long look at ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Why, though?

Tag along with AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai to find out; her review of the Fusion is available in the clip below:

Outstandingly appointed, the base S model is one worth every moment of your time.

Standard equipment on this trim includes 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED taillamps, a rearview camera, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel…

In the conversation of some of the world's most spectacular sports cars, the 2017 Mustang is without a doubt a centerpiece. It is, in our humble opinion here at Don Wood Ford Lincoln Inc, the gold standard of this segment.

And since we recognize that such a statement likely warrants some context, we'd now like to link the following video. Team up with carwow personality Mat Watson, as he takes this spunky speedster for a spin:

True driving enthusiasts are sure to find a whole heck of a lot to love about the Mustang's top-tier trim, the…

Smoking tires has always been a badge of motorsport-enthusiast pride. It takes know-how and finesse to do it right without wrecking your transmission. Unless you have an electronic line-lock system, like professional drag racers do.

Line lock very simply freezes up the brakes on the front axle, allowing the rear wheels (of a rear-wheel drive vehicle) to spin freely, creating billowing plumes of white smoke as the car stays safely in place. No fussing with the brakes, just a simple button push.

Electronic line-lock has previously been available on the high-performance V8 Mustang GT...

What are some road trip tips for the safety conscious? Road trips can be amazing. We all have memories of our favorite ones. The ones where cars broke down weren't usually among the best. Here are some tips to make sure your road trip goes smoothly.

You should always have some type of emergency kit. You need to have a flashlight in case you need to see at night. You'll need jumper cables in case your battery dies. You need to make sure your cell phones are charged before you leave the door. You also need to have…

All drivers want to save at the gas pump. However, most drivers do not know the simple steps that they can take to improve their vehicle's fuel economy. One of the best ways to do this is by limiting the excess weight that is in or on their vehicle.

Excess weight in the form of items like canoes or luggage, can weight your vehicle down and cause the engine to work harder to maintain speed. When this happens, gas is burned at a greater rate and you will be trying to find a gas station more often. This in…

This is right in line with a lot of things Ford does.

It does a lot of charity work with the Ford Volunteer Corps division. It donates money to charity, too, and has always made employees' rights a priority.

These details demonstrate that Ford has put some serious money, drive and research behind its sustainability initiatives, as well. That’s great to see.

It’s so important for car companies to care…

The 2017 Ford Super Duty is one of the toughest heavy-duty pickups on the market. You're sure to love how it's 350 pounds lighter than the previous generation -- and this truck can go the distance, towing easily, and making sure to get those heavy payloads out of the way for you. You also have access to new suspension and steering, which make the Super Duty easy to manage on tricky roads.

If you're looking for sturdy, the fully-boxed high-strength steel frame makes it 24-times stiffer, so you'll love it even more. You'll be able to…

Recently manufacturing exhibitors at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas selected the top-trending vehicles in five classes, and Ford received three of the five category awards: the Ford Mustang was named the Hottest Coupe, Ford Focus was named Hottest Hatch and the Ford F-Series won Hottest Truck.

With a lineup this hot, it’s hard to look away. #SEMA2016 #FordSEMA pic.twitter.com/igBiij8SKY
