  1. You cant take a joke? You are a sour puss all of a sudden? Lets see...you troll like you are Wings and you are a sour puss like him too... Id change my description for me because I certainly dont behave like you and him... You see 'Bong, I am my own unique poster.... I dont troll any car brands and their fans.....you do that. I dont shill for any car brands, you and Wings do that... I am like a Cyndi Lauper video.... I am a poster with a variety of colour to my personality and I like to have fun.... Now, 'Bong.... When you try to influence your truth about something, I will always have a different reality from yours.... Problem is, you talk a good talk, but as with Wings, your talk has very blatant double talk that I pick up on.... And THAT is where you and I clash.... Not only you, but many posters that I have come across over the years.... And guess what? I come out on top every single time... Because I am genuine. No hidden agendas with me. And even though I am wrong sometimes, I ACCEPT to be corrected, I learn and move on... YOU....YOU DONT move on, you keep on bashing away at that hidden agenda of yours, much like Wings.... Oh well. The Goonies R good enough for me! PS: there are some WWF wrestling undertones in both of these videos... Care to tell me which of these guys had problems with the law, spousal abuse, drug abuse? 'Cause I only see them for what they are... ENTERTAINMENT... You on the other hand, will hang anybody for any wrong doing yet will blatantly do the same bloody wrong doing yourself.... Nobody likes a TV Evangelist 'Bong... NOBODY!
  2. Well, let us be honest El K about what Hyper said..... There are several 'Canadas' in the US in terms of populations and regions.... There is the New York area in which just in NYC there is approx 50% of Canada's population. And its a mighty mighty economy. That includes Massachusetts and its city Boston as Boston right now has financial ties with NYC and Montreal is given a chance to join them in these relationships... There is the Houston/Dallas area where Texas and its surroundings control a big part of the USA's economy. And Houston is a very fast growing city on par with Toronto's growth. I think as of now, percentage wise, Houston is growing faster than Toronto is.. There is California...and correct me if Im wrong, California can be divided into 2 'Canadas'.... SoCal and NoCal.... Northern California could include the Seattle region.... I dont know if Vancouver has any financial ties to Seattle as the Greater Toronto region has with Michigan and NY as Montreal does with New England and NY as well... And California is the biggest economy in the US I think. Then there is the South with and without Texas. Illinois with Michigan and the surrounding areas. Canada.....really only has Upper and Lower Canada. That is where most of the population is and always was and that is where the heart of Canada's economy is and always was. From Montreal to Toronto. In the past 'twas Montreal, now it is Toronto. But even in 2016, 6-8 million lives in the GTA region and 4-5 million lives in the Montreal region. That is slightly less than 45% of Canada's population.... The oil money from Alberta has been spent like drunkards on a night on the town blowing it on booze and hookers.... Just as fast as that region grew from the Easterners of the Maritime Provinces and Quebec and Ontario, that region is deflating... We all used Alberta's oil money like cheap hookers. Love them, sleep with them and in the morning we phoque off to go back home to our wives... Ontario will be fine, even without Oshawa. Ontario is NOT a 1 trick pony. Hey....Quebec lost a GM plant, a Hyundai plant, a stock exchange, multiple headquarters, plenty of Anglos and we are doing fine... "Doing fine" is a relative term, but this aint about Quebec, its about Ontario....all that Quebec lost, Ontario was the one that gained...and Im sure if Oshawa closes down, all that that Ontario gained from Quebec aint going nowhere.... PS: Alberta with all that oil money, as of 2016, well, Quebec is doing better.... OUCH! Fly over... like everything between BC and Ontario Fly over everything between BC and Ontario? What, like in a Quebec built Canadair (Bombardier) CL 415... TOO SOON? How many Newfies does it take to (fill in the blank)?
  3. That is all these cars have left....small incremental improvements, different style air scoops and vents from the previous years and just rehash old sentimental trims like T/A and Superbee monikers....and from time to time go all crazy and do Hellcat type stuff. Not that this latest T/A with the 6.4 liter Hemi with the Brembo package wont be of any interest to me, because it will be....especially that it will look like a Hellcat, but as the years roll in with these LX cars, the more old they seem. Long in the tooth maybe too strong of a description, but maybe its because I have blinders on for these cars and I dont want to admit to that statement fully!
  4. Arent you originally from the Maritimes? No trolling here... Just an honest to goodness question from one Hoser to another.
  5. I gather this sports car will be wearing a Holden badge. I doubt that it will be a Corvette as a Vette is a Chevy. Will always be a Chevy. Even the Cadillac XLR was known to everyone that its really a Vette... Also, GM would have no problems announcing that the Vette will be sold down under as of now as a Vette sold down under would not be an explosive surprise. The only head turning thing about that is RHD on a Vette. Which is hardly shocking, it would be expected... Maybe Alpha II is coming to us sooner than we think? Before 2020? Say 2018 maybe? Or maybe 2020-2021 is when this Holden sports car is scheduled to launch anyway....maybe this sports car is NOT for today or tomorrow but for next week sometime...
  6. The moment you realize that mid 1960s to early 1970s hippie anti-war and anti-violence rock-n-roll fits right at home today in 2016.
  7. Yeah....like I have said... YOU have lots and lots to offer...a lot of insight. THAT is what I want from you. NOT the BS Ford trolling that you do and then masquerading it as facts, and then saying its nothing personal like you are a Messiah of some sort.... Oh....and we are wise enough to see and do..and when we see BS from you, we let you know about it... Then we take a few digs at you...all in the name of fun of course! Its just entertainment. Nothing personal.
  8. Jes sayin....for what? Stone Cold Steve is just a character on TV and the wrestling circuit...for entertainment Just like this character...... The man playing Stone Cold Steve is the one with the problems... Dont know him, dont really care for him... However....I aint the one that has named my internet persona as some sort of sexual perverse joke of some sort.... URBAN DICTIONARY: El Kabong A surprise attack using a flacid penis to startle an unsuspecting victim. This is usually done by slapping a distracted person across the face or head with your penis while yelling the phrase "El Kabong" to proclaim your successful prank over the El Kabonged individual, and alert any witnesses to the humorous use of your private parts. Jes sayin' And yes...we can continue... Onward, upward and moving forward.
  9. verbal diarrhea is what you do.... Like Wings.....YOU are VERY insightful...yet you dont share those views with us....you grace our presence with crap biased agaisnt and solely at Ford..and to get away with it..you have nice Vince McMahon speeches yourself, such as your signature: It's just facts. Nothing personal. You wanna get Mean Gene Okerlund? OK....as long as I could get Stone Cold Steve Austin!
  10. Bump.... Because the last couple of posts after this one is just a hot pile of shyte! And THIS is bang on to what is going on in Oshawa.
  11. Riiiiiight! You consume yourself silly daily laughing at Ford because of what Ford fans say.... What you just said would be some of the stupid things GM fans say and THAT makes ANYBODY laugh/cringe at... Again...this whole hypocrisy thing... You just cant seem to shake that off, can you? About Trudeau and taking a nice leap to take a dig at you.... That is the beauty of it.... You probably thought of it...so it wasnt much of a nice leap as it was a just a little casual stroll...laughing at you....having fun at your expense, the way I did with Wings.... Its easy to do to both of you since both of you have only 1 objective.... OK.... ONWARD and upward moving forward about Oshawa.....
  12. Oh...that wasnt me being apologetic.. That was me being polite telling you to...go get your &@#$+# shine box Trying to make it seem like Im kidding with you....busting your ballz a little bit...
  13. Nonsense. In all likelihood it was Montreal's supremely inept manufacturing plant that helped secure me at least two or three more years in Oshawa than I would otherwise have gotten. Now stop grasping at straws. You just look silly I know about that plant.... Chevy Celebrities would be rolling off the line while the GM worker would be sitting down on a chair reading Le Journal de Montréal and when the Celebrity would be at his station, the GM worker would put down his newspaper, get up, approach the vehicle, do what he has to do and go back to his paper awaiting the next vehicle to come his way... My dad bought a brand new 1986 Chevy Celebrity. Iron Duke powered, AM radio only stripper. I still have fond memories of that car. It served our family well! This aint about that. Its about me calling you out on a certain hypocritical view point you may have regarding GM versus FoMoCo. You brought up Saint-Thérèse... You have countless of times knocked Ford for mediocrity... You see where Im getting at? YOU take shots at Ford for mediocrity... YOU brought up Sainte-Thérèse... I call you up on hypocrisy.... Sorry El K... C'est La Vie! I REALLY SHOULD DO A CANADIAN ONE....
  14. BRUTAL INDEED!!!
  15. Peek a boo you miserable %#&$ you! I see you you mudder%#&$! Now go home and get your %#&$=#' shinebox!
  16. ^^^ Now that is you being a bad boy! LOL!!!
  17. Actually me too! And you just know it will be done!
  18. Maybe not Brougham, as Brougham sounds to old geezery but I still gave you a +1. Id nix all the old names except for Eldorado and Id keep Elmiraj too. I dont know what proper name a CT6 should have....I do want a name name. I decided that Allante and Calais should be left in the past so I edited it that part out in this post!!!
  19. Maybe not Brougham, as Brougham sounds to old geezery but I still gave you a +1. Id nix all the old names except for Eldorado and Id keep Elmiraj too. Maybe even Allante and Calais. Come to think of it, I think a CT6 could be called Calais and be successful.
  20. Second to last name...EQ BOOST???!!! At least Ford's version is full logical. Those Germans....wacky they are!
  21. I believe you will soon be schooled… that luxury sedan owners don't care to, nor are remotely interested in, drag racing. As long as I keep on being a party animal, I dont care what others do. As long as M-B keeps on making E and S Class AMGs, Cadillac CTS Vs, and Tesla makes Ludicrous mode Model S and possibly Model 3...and so forth and so forth Im gonna Rock Around The Clock. Until Broad Day Light. I wanna Rock N Roll All Night And Party Every Day!
  22. Im disappointed in this as I see the writing on the wall. Damned right pissed off I am. But at the end of the day, GM has to remain profitable and if the CAW and Oshawa cannot come to an agreement for GM to remain profitable in any way they can. Then so be it. Canada should be looking at Hyundai and anybody else to build their cars here, not just GM, Ford and Chrysler, but that also means that the CAW has to realize that Mexico is quite competitive and adept in building cars too...and part of NAFTA... EDIT: BECAUSE I AGREE WITH DREW ABOUT THE CAW AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE DREW MADE HIS LAST POST!!!
  23. Well. I also saw this coming when the CDN government sold off their remaining shares in GM. I wanted to say if I was in charge of these things I would have kept a controlling interest in GM Canada shares to prevent Oshawa from closing forcing GM Detroit Headquarters to keep Oshawa open with cars being built there, but Im not sure the bailout agreement was written that way for that to happen... Yep. Oshawa will be closing. I wonder what El Kabong thinks about this...will he vehemently HATE on GM now he being Canadian and all? Us Canadians are kinda like you Americans (THANX OBAMA), Im sure he will just blame Justin Trudeau for this and continue on ranting about FoMoCo. http://www.wsj.com/articles/canada-sells-remaining-shares-in-general-motors-1428363868 http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/04/08/gm-share-sale-canadian-government_n_ 7024464.html http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/canada-to-sell-final-73-4-million-shares-of-gm-from-bailout/article23814942/ from the last link above:
  24. Trouble is.. The Chinese driver did not have his hands on the steering wheel at the time of the accident...regardless if the Model S was on "autonomous" mode... Too bad for the 33 year old Chinese programmer and much to your chagrin that Tesla has NEVER said 'autonomous' driving is full on autonomous.... There was a human sitting at the driver's chair, but a human was not paying attention to what was going on and THAT is how this is gonna play out. Much like the last time you had a hard on for a Tesla failure... Party On!!! http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/videos/a30357/watch-this-tesla-model-s-run-a-record-breaking-10-second-quarter-mile/
  25. My bad on the mis-understanding of sub-brands... However, Ill still stick to my guns and say Mercedes has no idea how to sub-brand... Before Daimler bought AMG, AMG was an independent company hot rodding M-B products with their own in-house hardware. In this scenario, AMG was not a sub-brand. Daimler bought AMG and the way M-B does AMG today, AMG is just a trim package...especially when there was AMG "sport" models not too long ago that were above the regular M-B cars and below the "real" AMG badged cars.... The AMG treatment is done on all of M-B's models. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Making it by definition, a trim package on the same level as 'SE', 'LT', 'GL' and so forth and so forth. I gather that a "real" sub-brand would be how Chrysler USED to do the Imperial line-up back in the 1950s before the Imperial became a model of its own. \ In which I will keep my opinion in that sub-brands suck too much to do right taking away from the core brands... That is why its easier, and more efficient to do what M-B is doing with AMG... But I could be wrong in viewing this mess of an opinion this way...
