In the US, this would probably be considered "Fair Use" under the "parody" guideline despite it being an ad. After all, if it's true, it's open game.

I read the Corvette Forum thread about the video and this is what I thought:

@Jim-Bob wants a Yaris: I completely agree- Once it's out of warranty, technically, the manufacturer is no longer responsible for the vehicle. Nearly every year, the software running the vehicle changes due to safety, emissions, and fuel economy standards. The manufacturers can certainly make money by offering a…

@MaWeiTao: Your post reminds me of this abomination.

Well, by selling the diagnostic software under a proper licensing agreement (like every software company in the history of the software market), the manufacturers can make revenue from something that is probably floating around the internet in pirated form right now. By selling it, they can also assure the quality…

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: my sister had an 2-door HSC tempo 5-speed that had RARY on the back in mailbox letters. It finally died parked in a wal-mart parking lot. A police chase ended with the suspect's SUV slamming into temporary. Her car was on the local news that night.

I'll have to vote for 90-93 Accord and 87-91 Camry. Have had several in the family and they ran like clockwork until 300k or more. My cousin's 90 Camry sounded like a sewing machine mated with a riding mower after the Pennsylvania winters took their toll on the exhaust, but $25 worth of exhaust pipes and a $25…

"Hey fat girl, are you ticklish?"

@tonyola: You are right on the LN7 turbo point. But when it comes to shitty J-cars of the 80s, we can all agree that they were mostly forgettable. Ask an average person on the street about GM compacts and they'll say "um cavalier..."

@tonyola: And thus proving my "forgettable" comment. Nobody other than a hardcore jalop would know about the 165-hp turbo Skyhawk T-Type. When I have the money, and if I can find a hatchback 86 Skyhawk T-Type, it will be a part of my "Turbocharged Bastard sons of the 80s" car collection— alongside a turbo sunbird…

@mackenzie: To be fair, the earlier sunfire was not an unattractive car, but this has to be the most forgettable of the J-cars. My grandfather had a wagon as a company car in the 80s when he came out of retirement because he was tired of sitting at home looking at grandma and watching the price is right.

@KatzManDu: Carrot Top smoked a LOT of marijuana in the 90s. I know this because he was sort of dating a friend when he lived in Charlotte and we went to his place once and his house was full of smoking devices, props and toys

@RaptorConner: My thought as an elementary schoolkid was: Why does that mean ladybird have such a cool car?

I've loved the look of the late 50s GMC trucks since I saw "Follow That Bird" when I was a kid.

@tonyola: I audibly said "awww" when I saw that picture...

It's missing the snowplow.

@dal20402: That's exactly my point. If you never housetrain a dog, can you reasonably get angry when it shits on the floor? As a society, we need to completely reform our educational and welfare systems before the people on the bottom will be able to reach the next rung of the ladder. In the warehouse-schools that…

@Jim-Bob wants a Yaris:

@Eric Mitz: This, I think, is the closest we'll get to Australian Supercars here in the states:
