Bizarre Roadside Sighting: The (I Can’t) Escape Edition

Driving around my neighborhood in Los Angeles, I see a lot of nice cars everyday. From Exotics to 4×4′s, from a yellow  Phantom Drophead Coupe to Fabio, rolling around in his SL65. As you can imagine, after a while one becomes jaded. I find myself ho-humming at the sound of a Gallardo bouncing off the rev limiter and I no longer have flashbacks to my alien abduction when I see an R8 in my rear view mirror. However, sometimes something will grab my attention, unfortunately it’s usually something like this hideous Ford Escape. It’s about as visually pleasing as being shaken awake by a Lowland Gorilla while wearing a banana suit.

Verdict on the Fast & Furious Escape Hybrid with Robo-Orca-Tail-Shopping-Cart Handle: FAIL.
