Sounds like the media, as with many people, are fixated on the buzz phrase "muscle car", as in gas guzzler. If they pulled their heads out of their asses, they'd see this car gets better mileage than many mid sized sedans that used to be praised for their economy.

idiots.
Couldn't have said it better!

What an unmitigated crock of crap. I am gonna stick my neck out here, so, it may result in my getting flamed. (NOMEX SUIT IS NOW ON!)

But, when I see some little tiny soccer Mom driving their monster SUV to the grocery store to get a Gallon of Milk. I start to lose my cool. Because that is the very same person who supports these "Hootie Headed Appliance Pushing Do-Gooders" to force all of us to drive a Whirlpool Refrigerator to Work! I want Almond or Copper Colored Please!

Does that get me worked up! Heck yes it does!!!! Maybe some of these self professed do-gooders oughta look at what the real problem is and encourage , something "Like Responsible Driving and Ownership!"

Learn how to drive responsibly!


AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the class wars begin! Geez, that crap really sets me off!!

Time for my Blood PRessure Medication Now!!
You'd really be pissed if you lived here. I work in the Prius capitol of the world, Marin County, CA. Those soccer moms in SUVs are everywhere.

I consider myself liberal and even I have my doubts about that. Cause in marine science class senior year of high school, we talked about the global cooling that has been going on for the past two hundred years and how that may lead to another ice age. Two years later, I hear that we've been warming for the last 40 yrs? Doubt it.

The media is run by the same a-holes who fcuked up America and the rest of the world. Do not trust them. Turn away. Do not look into the darkness! These are the games they like to play with us (their pee-ons)! They do this so your focus is on this rather than what they are up to!

Drum roll please ... can you say false flag op?

the media, whether liberal or conservative will only report with their bias. that said, i don't watch the news, I simply briefly scan the articles for actual facts and go on my way.

I dont watch the news PERIOD. Or hardly any TV or radio. The first time I listened to the news in a long while was on Mar 16th to see if anyting was said about the Camaro. It turned my stomach cos I see teh world differently now that I have woken up. Especially when you know the covert games that are being played.

On the radio at the same exact time Rush Limbaugh was ranting about gas and oil and it was the cherry on top of the cake. Also I had just seen the south park Prius episode.
Vash, I love this story!!!

No our book, written by marine scientists and approved by a board of teachers and scientists stated that we were in a cooling trend.

Kinda of out of date then I would say! The argument isn't wether or not there is global warming, but rather if man is causing or speeding up the process! The Earth is warming and has been for awhile now.

I'm a Berkeley grad... (GASP!!)... and 50% of the reason I made it through was because my dad sat there and told me "If you bust your ass through your ME degree, you'll have your viper..." Now, "your viper" is not the camaro, but my SS to me is my super car at this point. I'm due to receive mine at the end of April, and couldn't be more excited.

But, to respond to the political part of this thread (from a CAL grad): the latest article received by the engineering alum states that the big ticket item at this point is diesel engines. That "ozone" is limited by the NOx's emitted by Semi's. Maybe I misread this, but that's what I took from it. (Feel free to correct me... it's st. patty's and reading comprehension wasn't on the test...)

You must be Irish...
Cuz my dick be Dublin.

Wrong Silver Streak... there is documented research by leading universities that shows that this idea of a global cooling is true.
