A Louisiana education reform ad showcases just that, as a man gets into a tiny toy Ford Mustang GT convertible — with the license plate “GIDDYUP” — waving to coworkers looking on in disbelief or perhaps with pity.
The video ad is part of the education reform campaign — “A school that fits” — by Pelican Institute in New Orleans. You can watch the video below.

The video ad concludes with the man in the toy car attempting to turn onto the freeway – obviously a move that warrants a visit from officers on patrol after a short anticlimactic chase.
As Louisiana continues to revamp its school districts, parents of 1.1 million children living in the state can pick from public schools, charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online classes, and homeschooling.
