Below is a detail of the ticket lovely Rita the Meter Maid stuck
on the
red monster truck Ford is trying to sell to some sucker.
About that time a parade of fuel efficient vehicles went by.
It's funny to me that this 1915 Model T car is more fuel efficient
than
many current Fords, espcially their larger models. It gets 20 MPG.
The poster on the door of this Prius urges us to DECLARE
INDEPENDANCE
FROM OIL.
In addition to the above pictured
cars,
there was also an EV-1, a red
1912 Ford convertable, and a couple of other ones I didn't get a chance
to photograph.
Bernard told me that this is the
best
version of the yellow ribbon sticker he knows about.
The guy in the black t-shirt with the backpack filmed me giving my
little speech at another point in the event. Click here to
see that.
The Grannies sang some songs about
how
bad Ford's policies are. If I was a Ford employee, I would now be
asking "how soon can we get a two seater that gets at least 50 MPG and
has a trunk that can hold six bags of groceries on the market?" To do
any less would be to turn a tin ear to my elders.
