It’s interesting that you can’t try to confront an argument (eg: “what is racism, and what it is not?”) with another argument that may be perfectly better and more compelling than mine, but rather indulge in assuptions about the (allegedly) immoral and evil condition of a person you don’t know. Have a nice evening.

Money can’t buy you taste. Neither powahh. Nor maids.

Obvious choice is obvious. Because shooting brake.

No, my dear. Racism is what triggered Baltimore. There’s needs to be an objective situation of oppression to talk about racism. WASPs just don’t know what being oppressed is, so they are not victims of racism. Economic exploitation, yes; religious oppression, maybe; socio-educative lack of chances, definetly. But not

Butt-hurt. Literally.

Not even a ‘64 Banshee?

Nope. Not really. Just a bit of sidewalk sociology. And a profound contempt against whatever turd who believes he has a fundamental right to screw fellow beings just because he can.

How can you hate, of all things, U2? I’m not neutral, as I love the band, but I find bazillion other bands that are truly unbearable. This being said from someone who enjoyed Pantera as much as Duke Ellington and fusion jazz.

Cows from the future, y’now... They’ll be made of carbon fiber.

Every single point. Plus, bloated, obese cars. And don’t tell me about safety: teach people how to drive and keep attention on the f’n road. And whoever can’t control his/her car without all that shit, should not be allowed to drive. Period. Moving a two-ton mass of steel on a public road with other fellow beings

White trash at its finest.

Daddy!

Facel Vega. Huge, traditional V8 from the US, FR layout, heavy, expensive, fast and opulent. nothing can be less French.

But then...

Ugly as fuck, ostentatious as a new mobster or a football player, sheer lack of taste, trying to imitate something from Italy or Germany. Completely Russian.

That awful mass of automotive turpitude could have never wear that badge. But those boredom-barges are made in the US and shipped and rebadged in Italy, right? They don’t make them in Italy, right? RIGHT???

Also, you can actually drive one over a corner at more than 10 mph and take it on twisty roads with a big smile instead of a puking rage.

It’s never off-topic, my friend. Even less today.

Forgot to add the Torino. It was born as a cheap-ish compact in the US, slightly restyled by Pininfarina in Italy, it had a German ZF gearbox (until they learnt how to build it locally), yet the Argentines are proud of it as the “national car”. When set to compete against the world it ended up fourth in the 84 hours

Because in Canada it comes back to the citizen, instead of feeding the military corporation?
