As she supervised the more than 200 stu- dents who attended last week (the church hosts regular Friday night dances), Wellwood said women at the dances she went to were never outwardly nervous during the dances. It was the male students who backed out of the chance to have fun as they shyly watched the event from the sidelines, she said. “All the girls danced in the middle,” Wellwood said. Now, however, students are just as happy to sit and talk as they listen to the blaring music on an audio system, or just playfully fight to blow off the day’s steam. Most of the children who attended last week’s dance spent much of their time in small groups talking to each other, instead of dancing.

Ford chose Manhattan (as well as five other cities across the U.S.) to show how well the Transit Connect handled itself in an urban setting but I see this van being a big hit in the suburbs and smaller cities, too. The primary reason is going to be its cargo capacity.This little truck can swallow up a lot of items. The Transit Connect has 135.3 cubic feet of cargo space and can hold a payload capacity up to 1,600 pounds – a Ford continues to win high marks for its larger payload than the full size Dodge Ram clean, simple dashboard designs with all 1500 standard-cab short-box pickup truck, the knobs and switches easy to under- according to Ford.
