@Lounge Singer Chamois: Okay okay, sarcasm and joking aside, I actually can sympathize. The entire reason my family is in Canada is that my Grandfather's family was exiled from Ireland in the early 20th Century for being sympathizers of the Irish Nationalism movement. On the other side, my grandparents' family fled…

@Lounge Singer Chamois: You're Irish and somehow offended by the name of a drink? A drink that was probably named by an Irishman? How is it that you're offended by that?

@skay¢og: Mr Deartháir IS Irish. My grandfather was deported to Canada for being a member/sympathizer/supporter/friend of the various Irish nationalist groups that became the Irish Republican Army in the early 20th Century. I come from a long line of shit-disturbers, rabble-rousers and criminals.

@IppoJ: Am not!

@HooniverseJeff: I hate to admit it, but it's somewhat true. Guinness is only the most famous of the Irish stouts, not the best.

I'm full-blooded Irish, and I quite like them, as do pretty much every one of my Irish family members.

@skay¢og: In that case, I'm not wearing green just so you'll pinch my ass.

@sixt9coug: Here in Canada, we call you a "Martinite Liberal". Socially liberal, fiscally conservative — to overgeneralize it.

@Number_Six: Or "Who"?

Ha! Glad you liked it, Murilee! That seemed like just the kind of frickin' weird that might just appeal to you.

@Arfdog: Virtually everyone can make a microwave TV dinner too. That means almost everyone can find a way to not starve to death through their own incompetence.

@pauljones: I'd put it up against a R33 Skyline any day. Yes, they were four-door cars. There are even a few Stagea wagons with Skyline GT-R noses and powerplants running around, and it's going to take quite a few years before the Cobalt will drop enough in price to compete with anything like that. They're selling…

@skaycøg: You guys just let me know. Send me an email at iMitch at Gmail, and whenever you want it, I'll do up a post just for you. But you've got a good roll going here. I say you go until it just doesn't work anymore. Hell, it took no time at all to get to almost 3000, you should be able to hit 5000 in a few weeks,…

Wait... Maple bacon? What?

@skaycøg: I was kidding, of course; I'm not ACTUALLY trying to recruit anyone away, we're fully aware that we're a niche market that won't appeal to everyone. That was mostly my way of saying hi, and letting you all know that I do actually miss you. ;)

@skaycøg: Haven't you kids hit 3000 yet? I think, when you do, you should let me set up a special article just for you over at Hooniverse and you can start fresh. That has the added benefit of experimentation: you get to see if you can make either Hooniverse or the IntenseDebate comment system spontaneously combust.…

So it was okay a few years ago when Porsche was buying Volkswagen to get their grubby little mitts on the R4 platform so that they could create a new 356 for cheaper... but now it's bad because Volkswagen turned around and bought Porsche right back, and Volkswagen... what... isn't as cool as Porsche?

Anyone who votes against this beautiful machine is a terrorist and should be sent to Guantanamo Bay.

@Murilee Martin: So... try cheating properly??

Their previous car was godawful. Their current car is the worst car EVAR, by the Saucy Minx's estimation.
