I did say there would be laughs. I guess I'm just sad because I don't have a team. I could pick one, but that isn't ever really as much fun.

I agree with regards to GM. As for the rest, carry on.

FANBOY ALERT:

In the "let's prop up our automakers world" Ford has done alright. Nearly every government subsidizes it's automakers to some degree. It doesn't make it right, but it also makes it unfair to single one out.

The Ford Falcon XR8 and Holden Commodore HSV exist primarily because of V8 Supercars. That gives the world two badass sedans that otherwise we would not have without racing. The Commodore HSV arrived on US shores as the Pontiac G8 GXP. In my book that means that V8 supercars have made a much bigger impact on the US…

Up above I made a longish NASCAR post, so you can check that out if you like. As far as the car not relating, the S in NASCAR stands for stock. I don't think that it's an unfair criticism. We have just been conditioned to accept NASCAR's bullshit.

Have you ever watched Australian Supercars on Speed? Check it out and you'll see why many people are down on NASCAR. The Aussie cars are far more "stock" than NASCAR. The tracks are far more interesting than the cookie cutter ovals that just happened to be owned by people with connections to the NASCAR governing…

Next time you are in the line, bust out a clipboard and collect signatures in favor of reform to send to your senator. If the nuts in congress think that it's a voters issue, there might actually be a change. As long as we just bitch about it on a blog things are going to stay the same.

HEMTT Tanker. I figure gas will be at a premium. It would be best to carry a good amount with you.

I heard the armrest saved his life. The armrest on those F-bodies is magnificent, but very heavy. Now, if he had turned that F-body into a racecar, would the pizza have saved him?

Mack is going to freak the fuck out. $16k for a car that any decent Jalop will see drive by and say "holy shit, was that what I thought it was?" That's a nice price.

Depends on where you live, but $14 an hour isn't going to get you a high level applicant where I live. It might now, but only the desperate because any fool can see the government isn't who you want to work for right now. I said hire better people. I didn't say through money at it. There is a little more to it…

You get what you pay for. Always. I don't like this shit anymore than anyone else, but this is what we bought. Would you work for the TSA? You can make more money as a receptionist. Just hire better people. Never mind, only an idiot would start working for the government right now. I guess we are stuck then. …
