It is well known that certain types of cars are blue, green and red.
The bluest of the blue is the Volvo station wagon. The sedans, however, are quite popular in Georgetown, where you find the ocassional conservative. Locally, however, Bush supporters and Volvos are rarer than Amy Klobuchar apologists at, say, Grace Church.
The poster child of green cars is the Subaru station wagon. It also serves as a moving billboard for civil union amendments. I could easily see myself in such a car provided it was the English STI 306 HP version of the Forrester wagon — a car worthy of Martina Navritilova and Billie Jean combined.
The reddest vehicle on the planet is not the Hummer (Neil Young drives a bio-diesel variant) but the Suburban XL, the “national car of Texas.” Before you Prius prissies diss this behemoth realize that a flex fuel version currently exists that can run on 85 percent ethanol. That makes the Suburban more politically correct in the corn growing states like Minnesota but still red meat for liberals in Texas.
Do they have corn in Texas?
