Family to GM: Our Son is Dead. Please, Stop Sending Us Recall Notices

Fuck Generic Motors. They should have gone out of business.

People should know how to handle a car if the engine cuts out. You lose power assist but you still can control the car. The problem is the watered down drivers training we have. People aren't trained how to deal with it and they don't know what to do. We had a neighbor who's accelerator stuck. It was a Ford Explorer and it was an electrical defect. Instead of just turning off the ignition switch and maybe using the emergency brake to stop. She paniced and dodged cars and the only thing she could think of to stop was to drive into a fence.

Parts go defective. Sure GM should have sent out notices but you still can brake a car and steer a car with the engine off. It just takes some extra effort. You have a secondary braking manual braking system. It's called an emergency brake for a reason.

Shit Happens. People need to be better trained to deal with if it does. People are dying because they simply don't know what to do and panic.

Agreed. The banks should have not been bailed out either. Iceland refused to bail their banks out, threw some of the bankers in jail and they are doing great right now. Yup. Let losers fail. It clears out the dead wood. If someone wants to build Cadillacs, Pontiacs, Chevrolet, Buick, or whatever. They can buy the name and go to it.

Who would win in a street fight?

A 1970 Super Sexy Ford Calypso Red 428 "Cobra Jet" Mustang


Or...a 1975 Chevrolet Vega?



No reason other than those Boss Mustangs were god damn sexy!

Ford took zero bailout money. They sold off Land Rover and Jaguar to Tata to raise some extra cash. Did some reorganizing and pulled through.

[Von Halen]

Is that a Cobra Jet, or a Super Cobra Jet?

Let's see, big block vs. puny 4 cylinder...

The '69 and '70 Mach 1's are some of the greatest muscle cars ever. Shaker hood. Wing. Window Louvers.

I'm getting a boner, and not just because of you Kristy.

[Kristy]

Who the fuck cares? The muscle era was when Detroit could build a fucking car. Now look at all these pussy Prius and Ford Focus clown cars driven by yuppies and hipsters. Fuck the auto industry.

Okay, so the 1969 Camaro R/S was somewhat sexy.

[Kristy]

Shaker hood.

I thought that was strictly a 'Cuda thing.



Gas being $4/gallon bring back the muscle. What is there to lose?

There's a big difference between the auto industry and Wall Street Criminal Banks.

The auto industry actually produces something. One of the few industries left that actually does so in the US, and pays a lot of people a liveable wage in the process. And this industry impacts many others both on the supply side, from those who make the parts and materials that go into cars, and on the demand side, from local businesses that depend on auto worker cash in the communities where those factories are located.

If Gold Mansacks or Bank of UnAmerica went out of business tomorrow, nobody would give a fuck, outside of a handful of rich criminal bastards. They produce nothing.

The Mach 1 brings back memories. My parents were gone a lot and they would hire a local girl to house sit. She had a silver Mach 1 with black stripes. I can remember riding all over in that car.

Actually the workmanship on the old muscle cars was pretty lousy. The fit and finish on the Dodge muscle cars was particularly bad. The trim was so cheap it was laughable. What the Mopars had were great engines. They were basically cheap cars with big engines. They could only go fast in a straight line. The brakes and suspension were horrible. They looked and sounded great and that's all that mattered when you went on the cruise.

Sure is! Banks launder billions of dollars for the Mexican Cartel and GM just sells shitty vehicles!

You're full of shit. Muscle was anything but cheap.



Go drive your Prius off of cliff.
