Ford rolled out a new treat for Mustang fans today - cell phone ringtones. I'm not sure if this is part of the "Way Forward," but it's definitely in sync with the "America's car company" theme - one of the available ringtones is "The Star Spangled Banner," played with Mustang exhaust tones.
Another downloadable ringtone is the sound of the car's exhaust as it runs through the gears.
Both ringtones can be previewed and downloaded for free at fordvehicles.com, with your choice of Mustang wallpapers.

No Verizon support? idk who's shorting me here, but I feel like for once it isn't Ford.

Cool, they would go nicely with my Grimlock Mustang:

... except for the sucky part where you can't actually download them. I don't understand why they insist on sending you the ringtone directly. Ever heard of Bluetooth?
(My guess is that they're signing you up to receive mobile spam...)

P.S. What's with Weblogs, Inc's URL parsing lately? TUAW, Autoblog, Engadget... they're all botching web links.

Xenedar:
A workaround is to use any other character after the URL, but before the line break. You could use a blank space, I use parenthesis, it looks OK.

Q: Is my carrier one that you support?
A: We currently support AT&T Wireless Services, Cingular, Sprint, and T-Mobile USA. If you're a Verizon customer, ringtones are only available through the GET IT NOW feature

Xenedar - you will not receive spam for downloading any of the ringtones or wallpapers - no personal information is collected or retained by Ford for participation.
As for Verizon - yes, it's missing, and being looked at being added at a later date; an issue with the vendor, not Ford.

What about Nextel?? They are Sprint now, will they be added?
