Looking like an adult on the side of the road with the hood up because your car broke again flat-out sucks. I'd take the Subie.

Why work hard to be better than the competition when you can just become a union minion and try to get the legislators you paid for to eliminate the competition for you?

Tell me more about this busty woman in a tiny bikini. Better yet, how about some visual aids?

Let me tell you a little story about GM people, because the "culture" comes from the people and their attitudes, as you say, Patrick.

I wish Josh good luck. One hopes he has learned a hard, sad lesson. I survived my own period of drinking and driving without harming anyone, or causing any accidents. I'm not going to get righteous with someone who could very easily be my own stupid self.

It's okay, it only plays songs you've never heard of anyway.

And then there's the matter of those words GM didn't want their testers to say, like "safety" or "defect." But that list, for some reason, also included "Kevorkianesque," "grenade-like," "rolling sarcophagus," and "you're toast."

Went to college at NMSU (go Aggies!) just a stones throw away from Texas. There is a Whataburger at one end of the campus, and I must say, a green chili cheese Whataburger is pretty tough to beat.

Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Whataburger. Mel Tillis still stutters about that one!!!

You are entirely correct. Whataburger is clearly superior to In N Out for many reasons, not least of which is GRAVY.

I live pretty close to Plano, and I've worked there for a handful of years, so I'm pretty qualified to answer this.

Damn, who knew being dead cost so flipping' much?

Let's do the math[1]:

Like the super secret German jet Me-262, which totally changed the tide of the war?

So let me get this straight...And I'm tossing out all of my bias against unions for the sake of this discussion:

Not only is it perfectly doable without the UAW, it's doable without the involvement of any established union. Single company unions do exist, nothing stopping the workers there from using the works council as a basis for one. Or they could just join any union that will take them - Machinists; Operating Engineers;…

I agree. Overall, this sounds like a pretty amazing package for the daily driver of someone who would have otherwise gone with a BMW.

If the auto is as fast or faster than the best DCT, why does it matter what kind of auto it is?

In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
