Time for Jeff Bridges to dump Hyundai

But, I think this has your name on it…

This just looks sick (in a good way, i mean)

FLU: I test drove the GT500 when they first came out and it is a beast. The only problem was that dealers were marking them up an insane amount (and they were still selling like hotcakes).

It was in white with the blue racing stripes and it was fast! Great low end gearing (you go through the lower gears real fast and it chirped the tires in 1 – 3).

I just wasn’t prepared to shell out $80k for a Mustang. I really liked that Ford commercial about that guy with the GT500 on the autobahn (because American roads weren’t fast enough).

[quote=KSMountain]paddyoh: obviously this is a really old thread, and there’s no way I can match the Green Eggs and Ham poetry.

But I just want to say I disagree with you completely and you’re on the wrong track.

You sound like you’ve gone beyond political correctness and are now on the slope to McCarthy-ism. Who decides which commericials are American-enough for actors to participate in? You?

Will you next say that certain books shouldn’t be endorsed, or written, or even read?

To explore your scatterbrained idea a bit further: would you be opposed to Americans acting in a Mercedes commercial? How about that guy who does commercials for BMW on the radio? Should we mount a petition against that bastard? Maybe find out where he lives?

What about Danish teak furniture? Do you feel that it is a threat to the Amish? Perhaps we should ban its importation – also Italian furniture while we’re at it I guess. Could you make a website for that please?

Mephisto makes some damn nice shoes – should we put a stop to that?

Perhaps none of us should travel outside the U.S. where we’ll spend tourist dollars aiding some other economy. (Not to mention the environmental damage of our flight overseas – the horror!) Maybe you could chair some committee that would decide which countries we’re allowed to travel to.

Yeah – that sounds really American to me.[/quote]

KSM: Great post. You nailed it exactly (and this is why I was referring to our dear Paddy as Eugene Debs and a Stalinist).

This is what you get when you marry the “virtues” of entitlement to Communism/Socialism: The New America.

Err. Sure..Tell GM chairman to talk to just about every other tech company that is surviving/thriving with both domestic and foreign “labor”. How about bringing something to the table that other people haven’t done, like innovation.[/quote]

Errr….

So….another non-answer.[/quote]

WooHoo… Page 7 on this thread!!!!!!

I do not like Government Motors.
I do not like them sam I am.

I do not like them Pentastar Motors
I could not like them sam I am.

I would not, could not with those box.
I would not, could not with those fox.

I would not, could not with a 300m.
I would not, could not with a Grand Am.

I would not, could not over a hill.
I would not, could not with that repair bill.

You might think I am patriotic weak.
But I just do not like all those oil leaks.

You might think I am a biased masochist.
I just don’t like my cars with all that stuck-on plastic.

I would not drive it over there.
I could not make them go anywhere.

I do not like them because I think they suck.
I do not like them, why do you give a fvck?

I hope GM/Chrysler can learn to read.
That reliability can be found with two T’s…
and great designs are spelled with one big G.

While Obama might want to subsidize for all to see.
Yippee! Another freebie…
Gee, money for the “needy”, why must it be?
Why can’t they talk to Ford to learn how to compete?

I do not like GM, Sam I am.
I do not like Fiat, Sam I am.

Well, you won. It’s official. You should make a banner or something and hold it aloft. [/quote]

Allan: I thought you gave up on this post after the embarrassing verbal lambasting you and flu received from Scarlett/Rt.66 ? Watch out for flu by the way (DNFTT).

While you are here, don’t forget to graciously ask Jeff Bridges to discontinue the Hyundai voice-overs and lead the call to buy American cars during this economic melt-down.

http://nicko62.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3268355

You might just save someone’s job and make a better future for America’s children.[/quote]

Paddy: No, Spanky, as with everything else in this thread, you got it wrong. What I said was I wasn’t going to waste time on YOU.

You’ll note, based on the tenor and substance of ALL other posters than you and Rt.66/Scarlet, a complete repudiation of everything you’re trying to shill. However, in your mind, you’re completely and irrefutably wrong and the rest of us are getting “lambasted”.

So I abandoned even trying. You’re not interested in anything approaching a reasoned discourse (as Cabal correctly pointed out); you’re simply interested in jamming your point of view down everyone’s throat and calling victory.

“Never teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig”.

I do enjoy corresponding with the other posters here, so if you’ll go away now… (maybe read what Cabal and KSM had to say, very good stuff if you can find the time to put down your copy of “Das Kapital”.)
