1. CLICK!!!!11!!!1

Why do you hate America and Baby Jesus? You must be Senator Shelby posting in disguise.

[taterguy]

2. Ignoring you for fucking up the planet by using an internal combustion engine

Does that make you mad?

[JVS]

5. Dude. I saw where they made your bike. You know, the orphanage/ toxic metals processing plant!

Oh how those little orphans would cry when the caustic acids used to treat the frame would eat into their flesh :cry:

[taterguy]

32. Factory tours are suckers

Why should you pay a corporation to subject yourself to an ad for their product?

I went on the Boeing tour and they didn't even give out free samples.

:wtf:

They gave me a pen that lights up with some special fluid inside.

TSA confiscated it when I was on my way back from Seattle.

[JVS]

33. I wasn't on tour, I was part of a UN inspection team

[taterguy]

34. What the fuck is the UN doing in Wisconnsin?

[madinmaryland]

35. Border patrols. Making sure both sides (national and internation) stay on their own

sides. Don't want a war to start between teh us and canada!

[JVS]

37. Gotta keep out the FIBS!

[madinmaryland]

38. Lee Mercer is a FIB?

:wtf:

[taterguy]

40. What the fuck is a FIB?

[madinmaryland]

41. National and international (all three)???

:shrug:

[JVS]

42. FIB= Fucking Illinois Bastard

[madinmaryland]

43. Nice post, Blago!

:hi:

[taterguy]

47. Was Muddy Waters a FIB?

Welcome to deplore asshole

[AngryAmish]

3. click - it is that easy

[gristy]

4. What an odd request. Why would I put you on ignore?

I know lots of folks who drive foreign cars. I drive one myself.

[JVS]

6. COMMUNIST!

[libnnc]

7. Put me on double ignore

I own a 2008 Honda Fit

The spousal unit just bought a 2009 Fit last week.

[Selatius]

8. I drive an old 1995 camry with peeling paint and dents.

I get about 28-30mpg in the city, while it's more like 33-35mpg on interstates. It's not that I'm anti-labor. I'm a freaking socialist. It's just that I am too poor to afford anything else.

[RaleighNCDUer]

22. That's the same answer for me, with my 96 Nissan Sentra. nt

[MadinMo]

26. Ditto with my 1991 Toyota Camry.

[emilyg]

44. Camry here, too.

[Hekate]

49. 1990 Camry that I hope will run forever. The Tercel almost did, but had to be put down at 24 y.o.

We went Honda Accord to replace the Tercel.

Dammit, the management of the Big 3 in the US has been making bad decisions for a long, long time. :-(

9. 1999 GMC Jimmy & 1991 Volvo 740 Wagon

I'm going to use the Volvo today. It has a better heater. It was 0 degrees when I got up this morning.

I recently spent what I paid for the Volvo putting a new fuel pump in the Jimmy. Hmm...

[snooper2]

10. Is the Focus having transmission problems yet?

I hope you got the manual - because the automatic is crap

:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

11. No. But the 96 Pontiac Sunfire we had (new), bit the dust at 46K. Tranny went

[snooper2]

13. My friend had an 04' Focus

Transmission started slipping at 18,000-fixed

broke again at 22,000- totally went out-replaced

started slipping again at like 33-35,000

Good thing it was a three year lease

[tech3149]

30. If you actually learn to drive, manual is the only way to go

I haven't bought an auto trans since '77. That Chevette handled well and was fun to drive but the trans failed 1K past warranty. If I had to buy something new the Focus would be just my speed, but it would have to be El Cheapo Delux manual everything. I don't want creature comforts and driver aids. The best auto I ever owned was the Power Glide in my '67 El Camino. That was the essence of the KISS principal. Just change the fluid and it'll go forever.

[ogneopasno]

39. I got 200K out of my 2001 Focus. It was excellent, and we've bought another one.

[guardian]

12. Me too

I drive a 2002 Subaru Forester AWD and it's OMG a SUV. I must hate the planet.

[MrCoffee]

14. Can someone tell me what this post says?

:shrug:

[SlicerDicer-]

16. They are not gung ho american buy buy american cars

And helping kill the big three! Like me! I do not own american.. I think this is in regards to some of the hostility towards foreign car owners lately.

[MrCoffee]

21. Huh. I could have sworn it said something about

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[SlicerDicer-]

23. LOL what?! Rumsfeld? HAHA

[RedCappedBandit]

15. I refuse to buy new cars

what does that make me?

[MelissaB]

19. Smart

:hi:

[AndrewP]

20. I never have. Something about losing $1000 the second you drive off of the lot that I don't like

[SlicerDicer-]

24. Errm its more than that...

My car depreciated in value by 79,500$ since it was purchased by the original owner then me.

Hmm I think used is the ticket here :) This is 10 year drop in price... However most cars I would hazard to guess based on tax etc lose at least 5000$ if not more depending on cost the day its driven off the lot

[AndrewP]

28. You have a good point

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. I filled the gas tank in July.

Still 3/4 full.

'93 car, now has 141 K miles on it. Drove coast to coast twice.
5 speed, gets 40 mpg hwy ( measure it myself)
have put less than $2500 in it ( rebuilt A/C 3 years ago, 1 timing belt, usual oil changes and twice tires)

We vote with our wallets. It's the American way.

right now those wallets are either snapping shut or have nothing in them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Okay.

Nice car, Romo.

[Blaze Diem]

25. I drive a 1998 Chrysler....runs like a dream..(except the touchy transmission)

[Romulox]

27. HEY! LOOKIT ME! I NEED ATTENSHUN!!!! nt

What we have is too damn important godamnit, it transcends this messages board! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?!?!? :cry:

[tammywammy]

48. I drive a Volkswagen. I work at a VW dealership.

I completely support the bailout for the Big 3. :)
