Dwayne Johnson Surprises Injured Veteran With A 2018 Mustang
In this heart-warming video, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson surprises a fan with the gift of a 2018 Ford Mustang in recognition of her brave military service
Marlene Rodriquez is a very special person. A combat veteran with three tours of Iraq to her name, the Purple Heart recipient survived a firefight and two IED hits, before being forced to retire from the Army in 2009 due to traumatic brain injury.
She’s also a Dwayne Johnson fan, so the man himself decided to surprise her with a special gift: the 2018 Ford Mustang, which has only just been revealed.
She insisted she didn’t deserve it, to which Johnson replied: “You deserve more”.
Right in the feels.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Damn, the feels are real man, they are real.
The Rock doesnt have a stone cold heart after all!!!
Teehee
I just can’t handle with these depressed headlights. What have you done Ford?
I mean, I’m getting over it, I’m a huge Ford fan, but still.
The feelings train got me here.
But the 1965 had depressed headlights, so wouldn’t it make sense to bring that back now that they’re back to making it look as close to that as it ever has? (With regards to grille/headlight shape and overall outline, that is)
To the people who don’t like the mustang, it’s not a terrible car just because of its headlights. It can still make people happy, just like this video shows.
yeah but the headlights thooo….. lol yeah i agree though it is still a mustang
Nvm this comment
Really man? Was that necessary? No. Take your mMustang jokes somewhere else. The joke is dead. Move on.
Props to Ford for giving her the 5.0 and not the Ecoboost
Yes!
Most companies in this case would give the sh!ttiest spec car they have, possibly not even quite new, after it was used as a demo or something
Well done, Ford
I’ve decided to dub the color of orange, (which is currently the only color ive seen it shown in) “Grand Tour Orange”. Somebody get me a patent on that.
I came here to spout freedom, not to feel
Even the great mascot of Freedom needs to be hit in the feels from time to time
feel train incoming
More like Ford promotes the ugly Mustang but i am not even mad.
It’s even a GT model. No Ecoboost 4 banger for this veteran
Well, as nice and heartwarming as it is, it’s still sort of an advertisement.
So that’s (at least) one reason why they picked the top-of-the-range model.
Also, who knows, maybe she configures hers (I don’t think she gets the pp-car they showed) with a small engine.
yeah well if they gave her an ecoboost that wouldn’t be showing respect to her… haha
Dwayne. You Rock.
What you did there, I see it. Have a winking Miata.
made me smile
