point taken

An accountant views his business through the numbers. It is not an insult, that dispassionate approach is vital to the job you do. However there is more to a car, as you obviously realize because you are on this site, than the numbers can show. I agree that the management, who are judged only by their value to the…

You may be right. I may not have given them enough credit. Perhaps they were merely being dishonest. They may have been spouting crap they don't really believe to get more attention for their site. Every media outlet plays to their readers/viewers, perhaps they just crossed the line from journalist to pundit. If…

These are accountants that have no idea what constitutes a good car. They have no passion, so they cannot recognize what makes a car desireable. If they had their way we would all be driving Camrys and Accords. The worst car is the one that you don't remember. So disgustingly bland that your brain nearly fails to…

What we need is to be more like the EU. What the EU needs is to be more like us. You can cut the irony with a knife.

I'm too lazy, but some body should caption this with "Meanwhile in Israel"

Commando.

First thing I thought of too. I can see one person being asleep, but a whole family?

The UE reports that I've seen list Brazil's rate at about 7%. The economy is growing at twice the rate of the US and 3 times that of the UK. Brazil also has a current accounts surplus. Yes, inflation is high, but it has been much worse the recent past. The inflation rate is nearly equal to the rate on ten year…

Things are getting better though, unlike the first world countries.

Epic troll. EPIC. That hate will eat you up inside bro.

I generally need more than a wiki for a source. I also think that how Orwell would have meant it would depend on when in his life he said it. His views appear to have changed along with the tumultuous events in the middle of the twentieth century.

I've been in combat and I would like you to shut the fuck up. This is not the time. Have some respect.

In a single incident.

We aren't winning because we aren't really trying. The US hasn't committed itself to a conflict wholeheartedly since World War 2. When we do we win. When we don't the results are at best mixed. The notion that Afghanistan is somehow more broken than Imperialist Japan or Nazi Germany is racist bullshit. The…

By buying other carmakers.

This brings up an interesting dilemma. When I'm by myself I am aggressive but thoughtful. I push to the front of the pack with minimum inconvenience to others. At my best I am a step ahead of the traffic, slipping through the slower cars like Barry Sanders. When my wife is in the car, I am hesitant and jerky. I…

First of all, most of the real asshole truckers that I've had run ins with were short haul guys. Unless they drive a main artery on a regular basis the same is probably true for other readers as well.
