Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 05, 2011

Golf season again. How are Kemper and Torrie these days?Will we hear a HRONK out of Carl?

She seems to be impressed by that rack. I’m betting that Gil will be the next one who is impressed. I think Gil is a 3 handicap, with a wicked short game. Very strong at the 19th hole.

Hey, if the Dodge’s good enough for Al Bundy it’s good enough for the kid.

Good one Flanders, beat me to it. Gil looks like he’s driving a chopped off Ford Explorer. Time for Pedro to report to his summer job at the Thorp cabana.

Ah, the sun rises on a new day, with all the wide-open promise of a new storyline. Anything can happen — the potential is limitless!

Ford Motor Company getting a free plug by the Thorp strip today . . . looks like Gil is driving an Escape.

The Thorp children are now an afterthought. Note that Gil’s car is a 2-door. What practical parents have kids and drive a two door vehicle. Such a pain to get the booster seats in and out in a 2-door.

Yeah, right, Ford sells a lot of Dodges & BMWs.

I agree with Decten. Gil is a Ford Escape man.

Now we know what Humbert was so p.o.d about: a high school coach driving a BMW 745i? Need to cut his salary to share the sacrifice.

@Cliff . . . that sure does look like the Ford oval on the front of Gil’s ride. And the front end of the vehicle screams of the Escape / Explorer models.

SPOILED rich kid.

Could be a Kia. They have an oval badge, too. Would they be having this conversation if Mercedes-Benz still owned Chrysler?

How about a Range Rover with the Rhino Package?

Not on a Teachers salary, who works at a country club, and coaches every sport known to man. Cricket anyone?

I think the Dodge and whatever Thorpe is driving will have a close encounter of the third kind.
