Seriously? Abuse? By pointing out that fuel-efficient cars are not something to mope over? By pointing out that hot-rod pin-ups are frivolous? Really?
I guess if the moderators are going to allow shallow and completely irrelevant posts about hotrod pinups, then they’re going to allow me to make fun of those shallow, completely irrelevant posts.
Now either address the issues at hand or stop whining.

::facepalm::

Yoo-hoo, mods, where are you? Make the “report abuse” click useful already and do something already!

Eugene Debs says

You dont know what you are talking about music guy and never will as long as you let the Am radio screechmonkeys do your thinking for you.

Wow, impressive – when all else fails get personal? I thought that was a Republican tactic. So is that how it works? Dissenting opinions MUST be AM radio minions?

Nice. Don’t you have some cats in the yard you need to go torture with a fork or something?

No why would I think you are an AM Radio minion? I mean you just regurgitated their argument pretty much word for word. I have read the EXACT same sentiment last year and by sentiment I mean pretty much the exact manifesto right down the line including the unions are sucking the industry dry thing. I am sure you just happened to come up with the EXACT SAME RATIONALE AND WORDING for your objection as the last seven or eight morons indistinguishable from you all on your own. By the way isnt that the shortbus honking for you? Better hurry now those special children shouldnt be kept waiting. Put away your latex girlfriend and go play with the other intellectually challenged kids.

Yet the senator from Alabama has the gall to tell the auto industry to go screw itself when it asks for help in dealing with the fallout from Bush’s failed rightwing economic polices that the senator from Alabama helped enable.

We should take all the money we send to these mooches in states like Alabama that have a long history of getting more than they contribute and send it to Detroit instead.

And tell these mooches that they need to restructure their states before they see any extra $. Maybe if their citizens had Unions and made a decent wage they wouldn’t need to mooch.

Call Roger Kerson – PR Dir. UAW @ (313) 926-5000 and point out the above and tell the UAW it needs to get on the offensive regarding this issue.

Sigh, were are the moderators?

And the size of my junk is just fine, thanks for asking. Now go take your childish insults somewhere else, like the Hot Rod Magazine forums, and see how long you last…

Damn—I thought you were gone and went to bed before reading your comment last night! So you’re saying I touched a nerve, eh? Is it a tiny little nerve?
Childish? Who’s the one who won’t give up his Mustang?
As a somewhat frequent visitor to these threads, I’ve seen more than one lament from you on the potential extinction of the hot-rod posters in college dorm rooms. Grow up, Ferrari Man…

RUCerious,

But not at the expense of cars that are actually fun to drive. And what’s with the name calling? I thought you progressives were tolerant. I must have run into the wrong group here.

The whole if you were really tolerant you would kiss my ass thing really doesnt work for me

Yes of course they want to keep their jobs. But even the floor workers have been BEGGING the top brass to retool, FOR YEARS. The idiot bean counters at the top didn’t care to listen to them.

Could one of the conditions for the bailout be that the execs don’t get any bonuses for, say 2004 – 2010 ? After all, bonuses are for good performance and we know how the companies have done in the past few years ?

Could we also cap the execs pay to a certain level ? perhaps at 6 times the average wage for the non-execs ?

This is about jobs and manufacturing in our country, not bailing out bankers. And, if we save these companies, we get to lay down the law on them. No more making Opals in Europe but not here, for example.
