ENJOY and may PEACE be with US

I don't know what is wrong with me....but I find cars so uninteresting.

I worked as a valet when I was younger and drove many of the expensive cars that people drool over. With the exception of BMW's, most other upscale cars (Bentley, Maserati, Ferrari) felt really cheaply made and flimsy....just overpriced man glitter.

I saw a lot of spangled Hummers in the video. Coming from both the perspective of a former valet and citizen, this is what I feel about the "suburban assault vehicle": http://www.fuh2.com/submissions.php

Or maybe a haiku a'la MediumTex:

Hulking black Hummer
Purchased in rank atonement
small peckered driver

On the topic of cars, Fox News recants earlier bashing of Chevy Volt.  

Conservatives, led by Fox News, have been pushing a variety of lies about the Chevy Volt. They’ve falsely asserted that it is unsafe and a creation of the Obama administration, using absurd terms to discourage sales like, “exploding Obamamobiles.”?

This relentless partisan campaign against American products and American jobs has been so successful that GM CEO Dan Akerson suggested it contributed to lower than expected demand, “We did not design the Volt to become a political punching bag and that’s what it’s become.”?

Yesterday, in an astonishing burst of candor, Fox & Friends has set the record straight with its story, “Can the Chevy Volt help win the War on Terror?”?

Their conservative guest, Lee Spieckerman, CEO of Spieckerman Media, a self-described “drill, baby, drill guy,”? debunks every single right-wing myth about the Volt, noting:

I love Fox news, and I feel like I’m kind of attacking my own family here. I love O’Reilly, I love Neil Cavuto, I love Eric Bolling, but like a lot of my fellow conservative, they seem to have kind of a fetish for demonizing the Volt.
They are perpetuating the myth that the Volt was some kind of Obama administration green energy fantasy that as you say was forced on General Motors during the bailout.

It’d been in development two years before Obama was elected. And it was championed by … Bob Lutz, who is a conservative and a climate change skeptic.So you know it’s a myth.

The tax break for buying the Volt was implemented by the Bush administration. It was not  something that was implemented under the Obama administration.

So unfortunately, there have been a lot of myths perpetuated.

Fox debunking itself — now that is must-see TV, something I’m not certain you’re ever going to see again.

I've always loathed the damn things, particularly when I've been in the position of relying on them. These days I stick to something I can fix or something I'm not responsible for.

This scene from Faulty towers always resonated with me.

I have a diesel suv - it get's better gas mileage that say a bmw 3 series and I was able to write off the car over 5 years as part of my business which I appreciated. I like nice cars and have several however wonder if it is worth the money. Can't believe people took all those pictures of hummers and the finger...funny. To each his own I guess. I also think the Chevy Volt is pretty neat car as well.
