"Dad, could you drop me off a block before the theater?"

Does anyone else absolutely LOATHE this new Ford ad (the one about the hybrid Escape)? Okay, let me get this straight -- if some enviro SNOBS are going to stare down their noses because I'm not driving a hybrid, I'm supposed to cower and kowtow? That's not to say that I don't want to see things like plug-ins, hybrids, or H2 cars, but good grief! That ad is just obnoxious!

What can I say...I don't react well to peer pressure. That ad makes me want to make my T-Bird truly obnoxious to the enviros.

the same People that drive Hybirds for a status are the one with all the Christmas lights on all night to keep up with the Jones'.

i love the looks i get for my stereo now, and i turn it way down at stoplights or when im around older people but wait til i get my new tires and my tail pipes have to come off and I'm running dumps can't turn those down.

When they start payin for it they can tell me how to use it.

Man those enviro-snobs must have hated my Bird last summer since it seemed to smoke at idle every time I stopped at a light...doh

Don't watch so much TV, problem solved :hick:

Also I have no respect for anyone that drives an SUV in the first place, much less a hybrid SUV in an attempt to feel better about driving an oversized station wagon with no aerodynamics.

WOW see that ad could have been done SOOOOO much better. I actually liked the last part VERY much. "I never thought I needed to talk about it". At least the way I see it a stab at the people who are way too in-your-face about hybrids.

But yeah the girl is awful.
