oh-kay.... um, where in this thread did I attack you? Suxty8? how original. It's your argument that is all over the place and besides... unless you have a vested interest in Playboy magazine why would you care abotu thier bull$h! automotive reporting anyway?

Big V8s? YES! RWD everything? YES! bold styling? YES! Muscular proportions? YES! affordable performance? YES! Toque over HP? YES! Luxurious, roomy sedans? YES! Taught, muscle car coupes? YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Lauren: This is NOT semantics. That statement about automatics is utterly, hopelessly false. It's almost like saying the Japanese invented pushrods or BOF construction. We don't take kindly to false Import-biased reportage around here.

Lauren: The answer to your queson is simple. Here at C&G we are very selective and vague about what is appropriate and what is not. A quip can be taken as an insult, a joke as a political commentary, a nasty remark can, if the need arises be laughed off and called sarcastic and so on.... A girl in a bikini can be considered "porn" & at times you can be held responsible for every single piece of content on a 140 pg. website even though you only posted a link to ONE article off of it taht you came upon off a google search. Hope this helps. :wink:

Z28... thanks buddy, that's a start. I think I clould write a 2,000 page book on just how wrong that Automatic statement is. It's quite the exact OPPOSITE. It's imports like BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, VW, Honda, Datsun & Toyota that sold huge numbers of manual transmissons in an era (1970s & 1980s) when Automatics were found in 95% of American cars. I think a part of the Accords appeal for those so inclined is that it's available loaded with a V6 and manual trans. The Grand Am GT, Grand Prix, Malibu, Contour, Fusion, Seabring, Startus, Avanger, Regal, Catera etc. only come in auto or that half-assed-B.S. "manu-matic". When wil these clowns learn? Ask the entusiasts, No clutch pedal meas no deal!

Another FWD Cadillac? Hell no!!! GM does not need another FWD Caddy... I think they should have given up on that concept after the Alante. F*%# the BLS, if you want Cadillac to be the "Standard of the World" again they need the Cien & more importantly SIXTEEN built. NOW. I say the BLS could be a decent Pontiac but that's it in the USA Market!

I was more eleuding to a conspiracy... nothing like Michal Moore tries to cook up but long these lines: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...?showtopic=6891

Anybody who seen the Leprecaun holla' "Hell Yeah!"

Go back and watch the 6th video down, on the right. This guy's like "Why me... poor me?" Why Numbnuts? Cause you jimmy-rig togeather deathtrap ricebox POS-es that's why. Next time don't buy a Honda Integra. :wink: The waterbox video is one of the best "saves" I've ever seen on a dragstrip. Talk about having a guardian angel!

I'm gonna git me a back-hoe & git that gold!!!

Now that's some funny $h!! Here's one: It's the early 1960s... The CEO of Nissan Automobiles in Japan holds an emergency meeting. "Gentleman, we're going to make a whole new product, a car unlike any other, a compact car for the USA market. It has to be stylish, economical, fun to drive and easy to work on. Our marketing dept. is hard at work already working out the details so we can shock the big-3 with a fantastic debut. We are going for a Chevy Vega meets Ford Pinto type of car but more Japanese in character with more compact dimen- sions. You guys, the engineers and stylists have your work cut out for you, do you feel up to the task?" A lone R&D tech in the back of the room asks: "When is the projected roll-out date for this new car and what are we going to call it?" The CEO without batting an eyelash responds: "three months!" to which the Japanese engineer says: Dat Soon? " :wink:

That is the biggest load of bull$h! I've heard all week. If playboy actually said that then the author of the article needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY! Does this guy also say that the Japanese invented FWD and DOHC?

I too thought Corvette at first... but the AFB tipped me off to the plane not the car. Camino: But I thought a crashed plane looks like this: (Shanksville PENN, Sept. 2001)

Reminds me of the Opie & Anthony Used car ad they did on the radio back in the day... No Credit? Bad Credit? Get the Fu*k Out!!! The testimonials were funny, "I'd like to buy an minivan, but I've got d!ck for credit" Get the f&ck Out... to the Automile! "I'd like friendly cusomer service before & after the sale" Get the Fu$k out! Funny Stuff, even better is the video of that hot chick wiht the Supra TT & C5 on the same page. That's some mighty fine camel toe-age. Actually there's a few good ones.. the EVO8s driving through Las Vegas is cool. I'd give my left nut to see those two daredevils rear end that parked prius and all explode in a fiery ball of metal!

I still think of B U L L S H I T Esp when everyone I know says B.S. all the time.

Press 1 for English....

No matter how many times I hear that name I still find it funny. What did you say? FudgeSuckers? ButtF**kers? Luaren: That's like Satre's "No Exit". I know that would be my personal version of hell... driving a automatic trans. COPO Camaro behind these two at 20mph for the rest of eternity.

Heiney Ocnblu: that really was the wrong choice of words.... What I meant was that SP was haning out at my house nd the second I opened up that thread and read "sausage" his knee jerk reaction was "italian". Why I am I justifying myself again...?

I agree with everything stated in this thread. I'd love a HONDA ATV or superbike.... it's just their cars that SUCK @$$ IMHO. As a matter of fact I've admired manyn Honda 929RRs from afar... even the Valkyrie is pretty cool. Basically this was just one of those things... I was riding around with a few friends who shall remain annonynous and I said "Look at this goober with the straw hat riding his bike" we all laughed about it and then buddy #1 says take a picture and post it on C&G, to which buddy #2 responds yeah... post it on C&G as a separater thred and call it "Fat Fu*ks Who Ride Honda Goldwings." That's the whole story... just a stupid joke, no malice towards this dude, his bike or his thyroid problem. I guess my style of humor translates as dysfunctional to some, I can understand that. If you lived on the MA-N.H. border for years and ventured into NH and saw all the silly headgear in thier "no helmet law" state maybe you'd understand why this is so damn funny.

This is an extension of the Hot Chicks who drive GM thread.... :AH-HA_wink:

Yes... I love that expression!

It's an inside joke between me & XP... you might have missed the other thread about the SNL skit with Will Farrel as Neil Diamond. Funny Stuff.

There was a super cool and non-bimbo hottie driving a black Cobalt SS-SC at the dragway this sat. I conversed with her for a sec and then she revealed she was only drag racing it because it's her boyfriend's car and he had his license suspended. Either way should have snapped a photo. DAMN.
