VIDEO: Behind The Wheel - Episode 2 and 3 of blind man's adventure with 2010 Ford Mustang
Normally, we try not to cover one story too much, especially one that is a marketing tool, but this one is just too good to pass up. We've previously told you about Roger Keeney, the man from Athens, GA that lost his sight twenty years ago and hasn't been able to drive since. As part of their 10 Unleashed program, Ford fulfilled Roger's dream to drive a new Mustang GT Convertible with Trans-Am champion Tommy Kendall, and documented the event with a series of videos.
We received a preview last month, and now Ford has released the second and third episodes showing Keeney actually getting behind the wheel. Keeney even dishes out some kindness of his own by convincing Ford to let some of his friends at the Arizona Center for the Blind drive the Mustang as well. Check out both episodes in the embedded videos after the jump.

That's beautiful. To man the gift of something he thought he wouldn't be able to experience for the rest of his life...

"a smile on my face"
Me too! I think it's because we all want to make other people happy! And no one is more deserving than those that have had something taken away, without reason!

What a bad ass ad campaign. And the perfect car to drive in. The vert gives you a better sense of speed if you can't see things moving.
Way to go Ford.
