I was embarrassed by that. I think a lot of other countries think we're all like that

.

It was hilarious though

Whatever........I saw the car at a show,it's tech is impressive, but I would never buy the car. You get a trunk, but guess what you gotta fill that sucker up with batteries to go anywhere. The cars not even a grocery getter.

Jeremy actually ended up loving the Camaro he bought, $1000 warts and all. And no dead bodies in the trunk

When they complained about the ZR1 GM found out that they were pushing the car beyond what any sane human being would use the car for and intentionally broke parts of the car to make it seem like the car was cheeply made.

Also in the comparision between a $120K Mercedes and the Camaro SS they picked the Camaro. I know our cars are great, but not THAT great.

What do you mean it's NOT news???!!?? Whats next? Are you going to tell me the Easter Bunny won't be bringing me treats in a few weeks??

Look what network the Daily Show is on, Comedy Central. All you have to do is watch it and realize it's commentary and not reporting. Do you think Glenn Beck/O'rielly/Olbermann are news shows too?

I'm pretty sure he was joking. Unless you think a grown man still believes the Easter Bunny is real.
