Since when did we start taking after Free Republic?

I love my Prius, and I'd buy American if their cars didn't SUCK to high heaven, fall apart after 2 years (happened to EVERY American car I've owned), and got decent (and by decent I mean 40 mpg or better) gas mileage or didn't use gas at all.

I drive a Prius because I love my planet, not my country. My country is a series of borders. My planet keeps me alive, and if cannot support life, your country doesn't mean squat.

So all you Detroitists, you can bite me. Until an American company (Tesla Motors? Can't ****ing WAIT) makes a car that won't spew toxic fumes into the air, don't expect me to buy your crap, just because its union made in the USA. The union may fight for the workers, but they don't fight for quality. That's not their job.

Nice size bonfire.

Hmmm...my Ford F150 van got nearly 200,000 miles on it before my kid wrecked it.

My Ford Taurus had 305,000 on it before I hit a deer.

Our Dodge Caravan has over 300,000 miles on it.

The Chevy Lumina van had something like 275,000 when the tranny went out.

Taverner may want to learn some basic car care...like changing the oil and checking fluids.

Our Ford truck is seven now and it still runs like new.  The last time I had the oil changed I was months and miles late getting it done.  I even peeled the sticker off the windshield because I was embarrassed.  

The tech at Oils R Us came into the waiting room to ask me if I was sure I wanted to get my oil changed.  He said it looked like it was just done.  Go figure.

One suspects that may be the problem.  No oil change in two years would probably do it.

Whenever a primitive asks a question that indicates they aren't aware that on Skin's island they must march in lock-step, and then asks a question claiming another site is the one doing something that the primitives are, in fact, guilty of doing, I've got to wonder if they even read their own site.

Like Frank says. DUmmies lie. They lie all the time.

Have a windstar with over 275,000 on it........don'laugh.it's paid for and can haul a ton of stuff with the seats taken out

I think the only time I've ever ridden in a minivan was one used as a taxi.  One of the taxi companies here has a Caravan, and the thing must be broken in the middle.  It's absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever been in.  The rear end flops around and it shakes like mad.

[AllosaursRus]

because I love my planet, not my country.

There in lies the problem with liberals. They would rather we were knocked down to third world status than be patriotic.

Lord I can't stand this kind of traitor!

[thundley4]

The DUmmies main concern seems to be the unions, not American workers. There are many cars made here by foreign owned companies with American workers.

Mine does that.  It use to mean I was making love.  Now it means I need to get to the bathroom.

Heh, heh! Been a while since me and "Toots" did it on the road! After 36 years, we'd just as soon be comfortable....... Bad back and all, doncha know.

Heh. I remember when we were dating she crawled onto my lap and set off the horn. A guy came out of his garage and asked if we needed help. I just drove off, embarassed as hell!

I was talking about my rear, not the car.   

Back when my wife and I were kids we were "copped" in a neighborhood under construction.  The cop made me lift up my shirt so he could see my pants were unbuttoned.  Pervert.

[AprilRazz]

I have a 77 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a 401 that uses far less gas than any DUmmiemobile. It runs on propane. Every one knows what Hank Hill says about propane. :D

Oh and I can park it on any prius.

[Rebel]

Hey Taverner, you f'n moron, you won't be able to AFFORD a f'n Tesla, like pretty much any of your DUmbass compadres.


As for you not liking America, here's an idea, GET THE **** OUT.

That's not an option because there is no where to go in the civilized world without realizing it is civilized because of the USA.  European socialism cannot function without the capitalism in the USA.  That's how stymied the left has become.  They want the USA to be as bad off as the rest of the world, but they can't reconcile in their Little Goon heads who the **** is gonna pay for it.

I drive a Prius because I love my planet, not my country.

I'm halfway in agreement with this DUmmie. I, too, drive Toyotas for their superior quality; however, my TRD Supercharged Land Cruiser gets 12 mpg (highway). My carbon footprint is massive, but I get where I'm going in comfort. I could probably t-bone his electric shitbox at 60 and not even notice.

Yup, the DUmbass probably has no clue that the affordable model, when it comes out, will be $50K

Completely agree. This is an especially loathesome kind of vermin.

You'd probably notice the smell....similar to hitting a skunk.
