 | Thanks to a donation from Auto Alliance in Flat Rock, the Ford-Mazda joint venture which builds the Mustang and the Mazda 6, students at the Downriver Career Technical Consortium, Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn and schools in Taylor and Monroe all are gaining hands-on experience in auto repair using the Mustang. |
 | Auto Alliance President Philip Spender said the donation was a nice way to keep the school shop programs up to date while extending the useful life of the cars. |
 | The consortium is housed rent-free in unused space at Auto Alliance's training center in Flat Rock, and the group also uses the parking lot there as a bus hub for transporting students between the consortium's participating schools. |
