"Bruce Willis Goes Green, Buys Electric Car"
Bruce Willis Goes Green, Buys Electric Car
by Bang Media
Jun 29, 2006


Bruce Willis is buying an electric car. The actor was so affected by his role as a racoon in family movie 'Over The Hedge' that he is trading in his gas-guzzler and going green.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I live in Los Angeles and spend about five hours a day in a car. I do know a lot of people who used to own those big cars but are changing over. "I'm getting one of those electric cars because it makes sense to use an alternative to digging up oil."

2. Let's hope he gets stuck in the rain somewhere and
electrocutes himself.

5. Why? Did he even have a car?
Didn't he go everywhere on horseback?

4. i saw "Over the hedge" and it was a pretty cheeky look at us humans
and our consumption, his screed in one particular scene was very funny and oh so true, one character says to him while looking at a giant suv "How many people does that hold" and his snarky reply was "Usually one"

6. And, it was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. Pic
Now, this is Bruce Willis' kind of green vehicle.

This one is actually a conventional diesel tank from WWII designed by Dr. Porsche. During WWI he designed a gun carrier with hybrid drive (gas engine powering electric motors in the hubs of the driving wheels)
