This dude sounds like he has one of a couple of issues:
* Camaro envy * Hemroids * It's his time of the month * His Prius is in the shop * He's just a real PITA What an a-hole. Where's the stats on the kind of MPGs these cars get? Last edited by Inspector 17; 01-15-2009 at 03:02 PM. Reason: A little editing... |

Hello!
|
Isn't the "Camaro Black" a V6 also?
So not sure this statement belongs with it...maybe the LS7 Camaro...but not Camaro Black... Quote:

I'm pretty sure the Black is a V6, but he's just saying that the car doesn't LOOK eco-friendly, and it's paying homage to the 60s, which Corker would have a stroke about.

Yeah that guy obviously didn't do his homework talking crap about a 300hp V6 car that gets 27mpg like it's some kinda gas guzzler.

The bigger problem is that some people will read it (gullible people) and assume that the car is a gas guzzer, when in reality it actually gets good mileage and has a ton of power.

He wasn't talking crap about it. The article was satire, poking fun at Corker's being there because he would make the argument "Well, this car doesn't look eco-friendly at all!" even though it is and "It's exactly the problem with GM! All they can do is look backwards!"
The article was basically saying that Corker is a douchebag, and he had to deal with scathing reporters because of it, and that he needs to get his head out of his ass. |

**sound of Fbodfather being pulled off the ceiling -- kinda like velcro**
BULL!........... The Camaro Black and a Silver 1LT with RS have been in the Chevy Exhibit since Sunday morning - BEFORE -- (let me repeat that last word...) BEFORE ....the very first press event........in fact, they were there on the Friday before......... On TUESDAY morning, we put the Camaro SS/RS on the floor ONCE WE REMOVED THE STAGING that encroached on the Chevy Exhibit.............. MOREOVER -- the Camaro Black is a V6 -- that's "the 21st century sports coupe that gets 27mpg" -- .........so how can he say that we're being irresponsible???? This article is completely irresponsible..... Now -- ask me how I REALLY feel................. |

oh ...and for the record -- I was playing "bodyguard" to the various cars and trucks while Corker was looking at them.......(and keeping the media at bay...)
Trust me -- the Camaros were there -- GLARING at the Senator (and everyone else...) |
