*It really is a perfect case-study in gross mismanagement, white flight, and greedy, useless politicians

Only if people are ignorant as hell.

Let's just go through Ford's lineup, shall we?
Fiesta: made in Mexico (48,218 ytd)
Focus: made in USA (160,759 ytd)
C-Max: made in USA (19,945 ytd)
Fusion: made in Mexico and USA (218,892 ytd)
Taurus: made in USA (39,689 ytd)
Police interceptor sedan: made in USA (7,248 ytd)
Mustang: made…

Who? Me?

If so ....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... :) THIS is my "ride" (well, take this image, add some rust and some nasty paint blemishes...

yep - tar-based roofs will do that....

Only catch here is for the BMW owner - he was properly parked, but the police were blocking the firetruck, which then resulted in his car getting damaged. It wasn't like he blocked a hydrant so they smashed his windows. So for once, it wasn't the BMW driver being the asshat... :)

Brooklyn is in New York - it's a borough. Dearborn isn't part of Detroit - its a suburb that has done much better for itself than Detroit has.

My point, though, is that blaming the auto industry for the downfall of Detroit is awfully short-sighted. It really is a perfect case-study in gross mismanagement and white…

Ford and Chrysler aren't in Detroit. And to be fair - there has been little to no auto production in Detroit for decades. With the exception of Chrysler's Jefferson North plant, there is basically nothing there - and there never really was among the big 3 - they all built out in the suburbs.... most of which have…

Even without that information, I'm extremely skeptical that the e-Sportlimousine is what it's supposed to be. Not because it runs on sea water — it doesn't, and nanoFLOWCELL hasn't claimed that it does. They've only talked about "metallic salts in an aqueous solution", not table salt dissolved in water. I'm skeptical…

Mine smells bad enough, maybe I should.

"Speed kills is a myth"

I would call that depth. :)

Why would we be worried about submarines operating at "unparalleled elevations"? Seems to me like if they're at a high elevation, they aren't a submarine. Or a threat to any other ship. :)

You should definitely buy a 2015 Ford Mustang if it's your name on the front of the car. And if that's the case, you should also probably get VIN #1 of the limited-run 50-Year Limited Edition.

I think you've missed mine. OSHA doesn't pass safety rules just for the heck of it.

Do unions fight for safety requirements? Yep. But they get passed by OSHA for good reason - because there is a history of injuries and fatalities without them.

ESPN3: If you have high-speed internet, most providers will let you log on and watch the 44% of college football games aired on this channel without a cable sub.

The rusting frames do hinder it, though. :)

Generally OSHA, and generally (regardless of source) based on reasoning created via analysis of past accidents.

We have nonunion plants where I work. Rules are the same.

Safety rules don't apply to the military. :)

Why don't you go ahead and try then?

My guess is it will be like the debate we have here over replacing a bridge... "but I already pay enough in taxes for it!" (while completely ignoring that there isn't enough in the hwy funds pay for it - ie, you aren't paying enough)
