in praise of the ford motor company...




yes, this is not a typo.

the 2008 ford escape hybrid suv gets 30mpg, which might not not sound like it's saving the planet, but is in the top 10% of all cars manufactured in this country.

so instead of me beating up on ford, i'm going to do the opposite and actually say well done, because the more vehicles detroit sells that get better mileage, the better off we'll all be, and american car manufacturers can turn a page toward a brighter, more responsible future.

...now if only they could make a ford GT that does 30mpg...
