A bad guy, is a bad guy, is a bad guy -- -- without regard to what kind of car he drives. I think the problem is with the TV station. If the thief was driving a yellow Ford Mustang, they wouldn't have mentioned the car.
By luck, I just happened to see the following article on line:
"POINCIANA, Fla. (AP) — A 4-year-old boy was thrown from his living-room couch into the kitchen when a sport utility vehicle driven by an 11-year-old neighbor hit his house.
Joseph Gillett was not injured Monday when he was thrown into the kitchen, where his parents were making dinner. His mother, Gina Gillett, said she was folding laundry on the living room floor until moments before the crash.
"I hear like a big bang," said Gina Gillett. "I thought, 'Is the world exploding?'"
She suffered the only injury of the night when she stepped barefoot onto broken glass.
The driver's mother said her daughter was trying to close the electric windows in the SUV when it started."
No mention of the type of car. This is more typical of a news report because the station doesn't want to give "free plugs" to brands. As a broadcasting policy, they do this to protect the advertisers who are paying for air spots.
AZ Hummerboy's article (thanks for posting it) illustrates something I believe: The leftist press "has it in for us" and we'll just have to live with it. I counter them by taking my friends for rides in my H2 (they all love it), by being a courteous driver, and by not bad-mouthing clearly inferior rigs (i.e., everything else). It works.
Best regards,

Don't wrestle in the mud with a pig. You get dirty and the pig enjoys it.
