One might assume that most people know not to use “password” or “123456” for account logins, but unfortunately these overused passcodes keep recurring year after year. However, among them some more creative secret codes are being used more frequently. In fact, on SplashData’s recent list of the 25 most common passwords, one term came up that we’d put at the top of our password list - with our own special spin, of course!

SplashData’s list revealed that “Mustang” is the 16th most common password on the web, beating out others like “superman” at 21st place and “batman” at…

Ford's U.S. design teams went wild with snowmen in a unique holiday challenge this past November. Nine groups had fun constructing one-of-a-kind snowmen using Styrofoam, props and of course lots of creativity. As you can imagine, the brains behind Ford's innovatively designed vehicles came up with some awesome concepts.

The crew responsible for Ford's vehicle animations whipped up a steam-punker snowman with camera-lens eyes, while the designers who create Ford's vehicle interiors produced a trio of snowmen on an open sleigh. Check out the photos below to see these and other designs, all of which…

In keeping with this spirit, the Ford Volunteer Corp organized a nationwide charitable effort on Dec. 12, the company's Accelerated Action Day. Over 50 different volunteer projects took place and more than $91,000 in Ford Fund…

In their inaugural "Best Buy" awards, the trusted experts at Kelley Blue Book bestowed two prestigious prizes on the all-new 2015 Ford F-150, naming it the year's "Overall Best Buy" and "Truck Best Buy." Editors attributed its win to the fact that the truck now offers an "imaginative approach to several age-old problems," providing a significant boost in muscle and efficiency which is sure to come in handy on and off the jobsite.

Right now, Ford is working with utility and electric power companies around the world to develop a technology that would allow the grid to send messages to plug-in electric cars via the cloud, requesting them to stop charging when electricity use is peaking. That means one day you could qualify for a financial incentive by allowing your utility company to "talk" to your Ford Fusion Hybrid, for example. The program would not only offer monetary benefits to green car owners, but would also benefit the grid during times of high power usage.

The technology, which enables two-way communication between plug-in…

We love our motorsports here in Texas, but usually we watch from grandstands or behind fences, where one is a safe distance away from flying debris or in some cases spiraling, airborne cars. At the Jolly Rally al Colle San Carlo in Italy however, rally fans hanging out near the outside of a turn found themselves inches away from an out-of-control car that came hurling right at them. See the heart-stopping video below.

Spectators caught in the trajectory of the car were incredibly lucky that they weren't hurt, though the vehicle didn't fare so well after flipping 360…
