Is General Motors Worth Saving?

[*Robert* 2]

This is what I'm talking about!!!

Hey BTW, does Toyota have a muscle car that can get 26 mpg?

those two words don't belong in the same sentence.

Indeed. That's like saying "does Hummer have a hybrid that gets over 30MPG?".

I don't think partaking to Aficionado's ilk (only in real life, not on the internet) is Toyota's MO. Some of us simply use cars to drive from A to B, and want to spend the least amount of money getting there, while, in some fashion, not tearing up people's lungs sitting next to them. For others, it's a bit of a competition in a department related to insecurity.

overall, it sounds like you're cheap/broke, can't afford much other than a shoebox on wheels, and suffer from chrome envy.

Sounds like you're way off in left field again.

nah, i believe that's spot on. you're probably peeved that everyone is looking down on you in traffic jams, ain't you?

ok I have to stop looking at this thread

Yeah, as you know, I'm always comparing my degree to everyone else's, or suggesting how I'm gonna kick some ### and buy people a ticket.

No. I suggested I would buy you a ticket so you can fly here and we can chat in person. I would like to see whether you as much of a dickhead in person as you are on here.

You have made numerous references about your intelligence and the stupidity of others.

Ahh, so people can't actually make a stupid suggestion. You're a-ok comparing degrees, but out of line by suggesting someone's argument sucks. Are you Aficionado's "friend" by any chance?

When have I ever made a comparison of degrees? So you are admitting to making stupid suggestions? Like losing GM won't hurt the economy?

GM in Aus is working on a V6 G8 which will have be as efficient as a 4cyl camry.

This isn't it, is it?

Yeah, I suggested that losing GM won't hurt the economy. And you wonder why you're treated like a retard?

Try actually addressing the arguments made rather than making stupid ####### up.

People will do what they please when given the option.

So... if you could buy a NON-gas-guzzling muscle car. At an affordable price... would you buy it?

Sure. That Tesla Roadster thing is pretty cool, though I hate the idea of having to plug it in to charge.

SVRT's knowledge of cars was thrown out the window when he stated that a 3spd neon gets 45mpg.

The only one that I see here considered a retard is you. You change the subject and don't answer the questions when asked. You must be a douce bag in reality too.

Strange, because if I were one to have a problem with it, I'd probably be the one IN one of those. Instead, they're wasting money sitting in a traffic jam and I'm just fine. The only one with a problem here is you.

His knowledge of cars was out the window when he opened his mouth.

Hey, if you want to actually go back to the argument that's fine with me. Or you can follow ma, charles, and Aficionado's lead. They seem to be quite happy with personal attacks and not arguing the topic at hand. Wonder why..

maybe with a 70 mph tailwind.

There goes the e-####### again. Are you afraid someone in one of those big bad trucks will look down and see what you are doing while you are driving? Only one hand on he wheel?

They are also close to $100K.

How would Hal use it in Chicago? Unfortunately Lithium batteries don't work well in cold weather and downright fail and explode in hot weather.
