If I wanted to escape, I would do it in a Ford Escape

by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady

I love my life. I write about food and travel all over the world. I get to test drive new cars. And my new yoga site is offering new zen experiences in my life.

I wouldn't change any of it

But if I ever wanted to escape, I would do it in a Ford Escape. It was amazingly roomy considering the mileage it gets. I could pack up all my pack rat stuff and most of it might fit in. And I could get pretty far on a tank of gas.

Actually, during the week I drove the car, I made several trips to Walmart to buy large storage bins. The trunk latch made it easy to load and I knew this was one of the most spacious cars I would drive.

Where would I go in the Escape?

The entertainment center would make it so much fun to travel that I could even enjoy traveling around the block.

Here is my fantasy trip:

1. I pick up all my shopping buddies

2. We turn on some great music and share shopping secrets

3. We drive around to all my favorite stores and then stop by lunch or tea or just pick up some chocolate to eat in the car

We are not just saving money, we are saving the Planet

All the money we save on gas can go for more bargains and shopping treasures. And there is not guilt--because:

The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid was named one of the “Top 10 Green Cars” by the editors of Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com.

Kbb.com editors praised the Ford Escape Hybrid’s fuel economy, capability and versatility.

The Ford Escape Hybrid is the cleanest and most fuel efficient SUV on the planet.

A Great Design. Redesigned

The Ford Escape, one of America’s best-selling small utility vehicles, is completely redesigned inside and out for 2008. Escape now makes a more powerful statement with a bolder, more rugged exterior design that bears a stronger family resemblance to the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition. And those are good family lines.
