Okay, you might have sown some seeds of doubt in my mind, but I still think he was being sarcastic. The "logic" behind military grade products is also there as a joke, I think. He pretty much spells out Hummer with the last sentence.

You're safer because those imports don't cut into the profits of car companies and dealerships in the US. You don't want to make them angry by cutting into their profits. You won't like them when they're angry.
Ummm, guys, I think your sarcasm meter might be broken.
But the crime the Spanish court was referring to not being a criminal offense was theft of bank data, and their quote was that the accusation of blackmail
To be honest, I saw the Mossad part in the "controversy" section and skipped the rest of it thinking it would be the same crap. I am personally far less inclined to believe the story of HSBC, which could just be attempting character assassination, than the judgements of the Spanish court.
Ummmm, he was indicted in Switzerland, and will be tried in absentia. Not sure what makes you think he's in prison, but I have found nothing of the sort. Also, I would be interested in seeing evidence of his attempts at blackmailing HSBC, since I haven't found anything on that either.
The quotes from the administration in the lead-up to the war were:
"We understand the need to ensure the integrity of third party transfers, the protection of critical U.S. technologies, and our commitment to the maintenance of a Qualitative Military Edge (QME) for Israel. However, Jordan's situation and the cohesiveness of the coalition demands we move with speed to ensure they…
According to his second link, the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee seems to be the one thinking that QME has something to do with Jordan not getting what they need quickly enough.
I actually bonded with the driver of another car while driving through Pennsylvania back to Maryland. And by bonded, I mean when we went our separate ways when the freeway split, he rolled down his window and waved goodbye.
I don't think people buy them due to aesthetics, but rather brand recognition. They are more expensive versions of branded t-shirts that sell for $50+ and clothing/accessories with ugly recognizable patterns. They're just disposable status symbols that people buy because they can, and they want everyone else to know…
I am not defending their existence, but in terms of design (see Bangle Butt and "Flame Surfacing"), BMW does seem to be leading quite a lot of car companies these days. And in terms of the crossovers and crap, the others are jumping because there is a pit of money to cushion their fall.
One other difference between Tesla and GM, which would be significant for me but the average consumer might not care about so much: Tesla stands by their product.
True, but the I-MIEIEIV offers a 62 mile range, while the III is expected to give something around the lower-end Model S, so in the low 200 miles. That's more than triple the range.
Yeah, it almost seemed like Subaru saw Supersize Me and thought it sounded like a great idea.
We would be less likely to formulate it like that if he hadn't implied that control of F1 will have to be pried form his cold, dead hands.
Oh I don't give a shit about somebody who parks illegally and gets their car crushed as a result. In fact, I would personally love it if that just happened automatically. The case of the people still in the car was referring more to people trapped in a tunnel and afraid to leave their car because of smoke.
What about an Escalade or a semi?
