There is an evironmental nightmare coming…and it is called your next new car. If the cars don’t kill you outright, you might just off yourself.
We are so fucked. : “It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more.”
I love that review of the Insight that Joe links. It’s a classic.
Of course, there is the part where as gas consumption goes down, then revenues from gas taxes go down, so the pols will raise the gas taxes again and again, and then any supposed savings we get from higher mileage will be made up for by higher costs for anything that you don’t grow in your back yard.
Actually, dicentra, the response to decreased income from gas taxes is to shift to taxing for miles driven. Which means gubmint gets to know how much you drive — and you’ll have to prove it.
Just wait until the states and localities start fighting over who gets what percentage of that income. Then they’ll audit you so you have to prove where you were. Universal GPS logging which the gubmint will require you to hand over each year!
Car companies are rewiring vehicles so components such as air conditioners and power steering pumps are powered by electricity rather than by the engine, saving fuel.
How can you not have confidence in genius such as this?
This dirty little mother fucker thinks the wrong side won the cold war. Every day he is in the White House is an exercise in payback. He despises this country.
Can anyone explain to me why it Obama CHOSE to drive a Chrysler 300, 15 city, 22 Hwy, but he doesn’t want ME to be able to make that same choice???
Any takers???
Lina, we now have SMART DIPLOMACY. And Hillary Rodham is working wonders.
When is it that all the other countries will start loving us again??
When we are poor and shit=holes like them???
When we stop buying their oil??
When we have no money to provide them aid or food???
“Can anyone explain to me why it Obama CHOSE to drive a Chrysler 300, 15 city, 22 Hwy, but he doesn’t want ME to be able to make that same choice???”
Can anyone explain to me why it matters that we use more energy than any other country?? Any takers???
I actually enjoy getting into this with leftards. No, we don’t use a disproportionate share of the world’s oil. Much of the world uses a disproportionate share in relation to how much value they’ve added to the modern world. Now we’re supposed to bend over and let the rest of the world play catch up because their historical ingnorance, dysfunction and lack of creativity is something we should feel guilty about? No thank you.
Dirty socialist piece of shit just bought the biggest rental car company in the effing world. Dumbass either thinks he’s OJ in an airport or he believed someone what told his gullible dumb ass that there are people who’ll actually voluntarily in their right minds actually choose to buy crappy GM crap what disgusting greasy UAW fatasses spooged all over.
Abe,Meya,Lina!! Well done.
Next question. Abe. Would you send your kids to a public school?
Lina, do you want your mothers Breast Cancer treatments to be dictated by Obama’s health care system??
Meya, what temperature is perfect for the world. And when the Glaciers that left the lake that I live on receded. WAS THAT BAD? or WAS IT GOOD?
Mr.Pink. I ask the questions here, because those who inhabit this blog are CLEARLY…more intelligent, honest and introspective than 99.9% of any other blog I know of. My questions are not rhetorical in the least. But if it makes you feel better, I am seeking approval from like minded individuals. Extremely intelligent like minded individuals for the most part!!
oh hells no gus! perhaps i didn’t make myself all that clear but i have no use for obama, nor do i have use for his namby pamby country/world ruinous policies…my initial point about him being a college freshmen meant that he has this idea that he can fulfill all his idealistic dreams and someone will clean up from behind….little does he know that he’s quickly removing all effective asswipers and his legacy will be dingleberries
We have shit like, Pi, and then the greeks think they can just sit back and fuck around?
First, he did specify the modern world and second while Archimedes is given the credit it’s likely that it was a concept already known about. A little history.
I totally want to make sure that everything we do is dependent on the electrical grid. We’ll have no gas-powered generators, either standalone or moving a car.
Because nothing says progress like a single point of failure in the energy supply.
I had a guy in my business recently who told me.
What we need to do, is to make ELECTRIC CARS,
I responded. “WE” need to do? Why aren’t you doing it then.
Then I asked. If “WE” had these magical ELECTRIC CARS….WHERE DOES THE ELECTRICITY COME FROM???????
Is it just me, or is there something actually strange about an obsessive attempt to have a very long, forever incomplete quasi-number expressing a relation of incommensurables?
Obama has invented NOTHING yet.
Obama’s “homeland” Kenya has invented NOTHING yet.
Michelle Obama’s FAT ASS has provided NOTHING yet.
“Dreams of my MUSLIM father” has done NOTHING yet.
Obama is a CRIME AGAINST AMERICA. I hope I can be on the JURY.
I think something similar goes to my comfort with the piano (keys! only 88, thanks god!) vs. discomfort with the violin (no frets? wtf?), bh. Too many possibilities, infinite in fact.
Just this week, Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Governor, fought off the thieving state legislature, refusing to allow them to cover their huge state deficit by raising taxes. He stood his ground and I am GRATEFUL. Yet even Pawlenty has said recently that we will need to think seriously about GPS monitoring in the future to garner revenue.
Besides the fact that violins are all screechy and high-pitched, and all of the concerto composers decided that the best use of their talent was to put about half the notes on the e-string, fourth position. I’m not impressed.
MY “fleet” will remain unchanged: 1979 Ford Bronco (mint condition, 10 or so mpg), and a 1990 Ford F250 4×4 Extra cab longbed (13 mpg on the highway). Fuck these fascist assholes. Sideways. With a wood rasp.
One good thing, I guess, is that the GPS system is about to crash. At least, that’s what was on Drudge a while ago. No gps=no Big Brother monitorin your whereabouts. Not that I’d let those worthless shitstains anywhere near my vehicles.
“I responded. “WE†need to do? Why aren’t you doing it then.
Then I asked. If “WE†had these magical ELECTRIC CARS….WHERE DOES THE ELECTRICITY COME FROM???????”
At which point reactionary leftist heads usually explode.
I was so mad about this yesterday, that for about half the day I was simply unbearable to be around. I’m a bit better today.
Listening to those assholes on the radio. Ugh.
You know who is totally fucked? Large families. I can only imagine how expensive min-vans and the like are going to become. Baracky will FORCE you into having “government-sized” approved families. Only the rich will be able to afford cars with enough room to carry more than three kids.
You’re right Carin. Prices will go up but all is peachy because the poor will be subsidized and the middle class will be forced from the suburbs into higher density areas. And that’s exactly what proggies want. They’ve always hated suburbs for the emotional toll that being weirdos growing up exacted on them and now they have their creepy green religion to double their pleasure in telling everyone else how to live. But it’s not like they’re fascists or anything.
There are the rulers, and the ruled. Middle-class families are just too danged independent, too unpredictable, too hard to control. And what cannot be controlled, must be destroyed.
When the revolution comes, I shall be greatly comforted by the knowledge that Jeremy Clarkson is on our side. Force of nature, that one.
teh future I guess … “kick-start sluggish car sales by offering a £2,000 trade-in premium on cars at least 10 years old”
and then destroying them. If they’re trying to kick start sales of piece of shit Chevrolets and pimpy grampa Cadillacs it’ll take a lot more $$ than that I would guess.
There is an evironmental nightmare coming…and it is called your next new car. If the cars don’t kill you outright, you might just off yourself.

America’s fleet? My car isn’t part of someone’s fleet, and I’ll drive what I fucking damn well please.
Its time for some commie mother fuckers to start dying for their beliefs before they completely destroy this country.
America’s fleet? Holy fucking shit.

I hate people.

Yay serfdom!

This time your Yugo is going to be awesome.

I wonder what the Peoples Automobile Company No. 1 ,formerly known as General Motors, is going to do to make the Trebant more eco friendly?
we need happy fleet
obama keeps making decisions like he’s a freshman in college
How can you not have confidence in genius such as this?
my barney rubble brake system needs
new toes
How could anyone fuck up America so badly so quickly?
With lots of help from lots of Americans gus.
Lina, Obama thinks he’s a genius and so does the Media. Everyone else is afraid of what he can do to them.
He’s EXACTLY like Castro.
This dirty little mother fucker thinks the wrong side won the cold war. Every day he is in the White House is an exercise in payback. He despises this country.
exactly gus!! apparently idealistically stupid is the new smart…
which explains alot about why our country is sinking deeper into the shithole of good intentions
Someone explain to me why I can’t manufacture, buy or drive a care that gets 1 mile per gallon. Any takers???
Can anyone explain to me why it matters that we use more energy than any other country?? Any takers???
Can anyone explain to me why it Obama CHOSE to drive a Chrysler 300, 15 city, 22 Hwy, but he doesn’t want ME to be able to make that same choice???
Any takers???
Can anyone name a SOCIALIST COUNTRY that has every provided anything of USE to mankind??
Any takers????
Narnia
Lina, we now have SMART DIPLOMACY. And Hillary Rodham is working wonders.
When is it that all the other countries will start loving us again??
When we are poor and shit=holes like them???
When we stop buying their oil??
When we have no money to provide them aid or food???
the world will never love us because when america is brought down to european levels they’ll be hating us for not saving them…..again
“Can anyone explain to me why it Obama CHOSE to drive a Chrysler 300, 15 city, 22 Hwy, but he doesn’t want ME to be able to make that same choice???”

Wonder how long it’ll be before we start seeing folks hanging off little cars like they do in India?

Dumbass either thinks he’s OJ in an airport or he believed someone what told his gullible dumb ass that there are people who’ll actually voluntarily in their right minds actually choose to buy crappy GM crap what disgusting greasy UAW fatasses spooged all over.
They hang off the trains too. Much fun is had by all.

You know what’s entirely wrong? Regis Philbin is guest-hosting Larry King Live. And you know who his guest is? Larry King. With a new book to pimp.
This is CNN. America’s most trusted name in news.
poodle bites, c’mon frenchy
“Much of the world uses a disproportionate share in relation to how much value they’ve added to the modern world.”
We have shit like, Pi, and then the greeks think they can just sit back and fuck around?
Gus why ask the questions when the answers don’t matter only the intentions of the people answering? Considering this is Protein Wisdom and all.

Gus: Can anyone explain to me why it matters that we use more energy than any other country?? Any takers???
Can anyone name a SOCIALIST COUNTRY that has every provided anything of USE to mankind??
Exactly. Our abundance is one of the reasons we’ve been able to feed the world, in addition to saving a number of sorry socialist butts.
But, no more.
I got where you were going gus, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.
These countries not getting their fair share of oil? Someone should mention to them that it’s readily available on the free market.
Or, progressives could simply be honest and say that they think the US has too much money.
We have shit like, Pi, and then the greeks think they can just sit back and fuck around?
First, he did specify the modern world and second while Archimedes is given the credit it’s likely that it was a concept already known about. A little history.
Not that I agree with the sentiment.
I totally want to make sure that everything we do is dependent on the electrical grid. We’ll have no gas-powered generators, either standalone or moving a car.
Because nothing says progress like a single point of failure in the energy supply.
huh, screwed that one up. No need for the link on the last statement.
I’ll see your electrical dependence, dicentra, and I’ll raise you restrictions on building new nuclear plants.
Nothing says progress like rolling blackouts.
Don’t have the money or skill, would be my guess.

all I know is if you had a pi of little Debbies you’d have three tasty snack cakes and then one what looked like someone’s been gnawing on it.
Which thanks truly hf, it reminds me that I’ve got a few of those awaiting my attention in the freezer.
Transcendentals, just as a set, freak me out, sdferr. Not kidding. I’d take it up with Euler, but he freaks me out too.
Just give the gnawed on one to Greece, they’ve earned it.
I think something similar goes to my comfort with the piano (keys! only 88, thanks god!) vs. discomfort with the violin (no frets? wtf?), bh. Too many possibilities, infinite in fact.
This guy could probably use some delicious snack cakes. Possibly some thorazine as well.

He stood his ground and I am GRATEFUL. Yet even Pawlenty has said recently that we will need to think seriously about GPS monitoring in the future to garner revenue.
These pols are a dangerous lot.
That’s a very interesting metaphor, sdferr. The violin: menacingly divisible! Or, the violin: Zeno’s revenge!
Violin, the devil’s tool
Dude is really, really good, Makewi.
GPS meet EMP I think
FTFY.
If your son or daughter ever tells you he or she is trying to decide whether to become a politician or a prostitute, buy him/her fishnet stockings.
If there is a GPS there will be a youtube video within a month telling me how to disable it. F em.
#59 is not meant personally to the commenter at #54, by the way. Just a general piece of advice. If I had kids I’d be using it myself.
Dude. That fucker is smooth.
“promoting hispanic rock legend”
yes does las vegas promote ” the white rock legend” elvis?

Good point.
racist.
discomfort with the violin
Besides the fact that violins are all screechy and high-pitched, and all of the concerto composers decided that the best use of their talent was to put about half the notes on the e-string, fourth position. I’m not impressed.
Which is why I learned the viola and promptly forgot it. It’s also the butt of all orchestra jokes.
does las vegas promote †the ghey legend†liberace?
MY “fleet” will remain unchanged: 1979 Ford Bronco (mint condition, 10 or so mpg), and a 1990 Ford F250 4×4 Extra cab longbed (13 mpg on the highway). Fuck these fascist assholes. Sideways. With a wood rasp.
One good thing, I guess, is that the GPS system is about to crash. At least, that’s what was on Drudge a while ago. No gps=no Big Brother monitorin your whereabouts. Not that I’d let those worthless shitstains anywhere near my vehicles.
Rope, lamppost. Some assembly required.
my electric car shocks
my friends who thought i rocked
now they just beat me
My car is 45 years old, and no one’s died in it for over thirty years.
OUTLAW!

Oh, and FUCK YOU to the UAW who approved this plan. fucking fuckers.
Gas jumped a DIME yesterday around lunchtime.
Anyone know why? It’s up 50 cents in, what, two weeks?
We’re going to have 6 dollar gas, more expensive crappy cars, and a milage tax. Just wait.
We’re fucked.
Oh, and home energy bills going up $350 a month.
I can’t WAIT! How ’bout you Meya? Can you feel the hope and change!
You’re right Carin. Prices will go up but all is peachy because the poor will be subsidized and the middle class will be forced from the suburbs into higher density areas. And that’s exactly what proggies want. They’ve always hated suburbs for the emotional toll that being weirdos growing up exacted on them and now they have their creepy green religion to double their pleasure in telling everyone else how to live. But it’s not like they’re fascists or anything.
It’s funny that the proggs really hate the middle class more than they hate the rich. Interesting, isn’t it?
It’s perfectly understandable, Carin, if you realize what the ‘progressives’ are really after.
They want a two-tier noble/peasant society.
The amusing thing about it is how utterly certain they are that they’re going to be the ones who wind up on top if they get their wish.
There are the rulers, and the ruled. Middle-class families are just too danged independent, too unpredictable, too hard to control. And what cannot be controlled, must be destroyed.
