Escape

1976 GMC Suburban

Friday, May 17, 2019 

When I was a young child, my dad bought a brand new 1976 GMC Suburban. Yellow. No extras at all – no head liner, plastic seats, manual everything, 305 V8.

It became my car in high school, survived that. Came out to California with me; ended up in the service of SRL, survived that too.

Eventually, it escaped.

Ford Escape

Monday, June 22, 2009 

After the while OJ thing tainted Ford with the low speed Bronco chase, they dropped the Bronco from their line and replaced it with something to help shed the whole fleeing fugitive image: the Escape.

Rumor has it there will be an Arrested Development movie!

It’s a pretty mediocre SUV. Squishy, soft, fairly comfortable. It’s a little loud inside. These small SUV’s seem to combine the disadvantages of a truck (noisy, gas consumptive, big, slow) with the disadvantages of a car (fragile, not off-road worthy). This one was even two wheel drive only, what’s the point of that?
