Padre’s Smart New Wheels

Ok, this is about the wildest thing to ever show up in my inbox. My red-state father-in-law—one of the individuals I’ve alienated with my overly-ambitious harebrained green schemes, the fellow who loves sports cars and who has a framed picture of George Bush Sr. in his office and who thinks global warming is a “swindle?” Well, check out his new wheels!
Sorry about the blurred face; I’ve promised my wife, Elle, that I’ll keep her dad out of the public eye, to preserve what remains of our fragile family relationship. But trust me, that’s him!
This is very exciting news. Who knew the old man had it in him?!
Wow! That’s a major accomplishment - just think of the trickle down impact as well - who knows how many other people will switch after seeing him drive around the the R state in that little number.
Minor clarification… Padre’s not actually living in a red state, but he votes like he does.
Woooo!!! SWWEEEET RIDE, Padre!!
thats a sporty number. I’ve seen quite a few showing up in SF also.
