They must not follow the Lemans series then because Ferrari and the rest in
their class must be getting sick of being lapped by the pushrod Corvettes
and seeing their tail-lights fade in the distance! ;-)

Really..? I thought you said that our auto industry is dying because
we all buy foreign cars.

That's one of the biggest problems the EuroPEONS have. No conception
of the size of the US market.

The Russians have more oil, the Canadians more timber and China
dominated world manufacturing.

What is it that you people do?

Apart from you suckers we can afford to be connected 24/7.
In fact we're the most connected people per capita in the world.
And since the words 'energy crisis' are unknown here we also
have the power to stay connected.

Now, you old demented burger brain, try to wash down some
extra Haldol pills together with your daily gallon of moonshine.
Maybe it'll stop those funny voices in your head telling you to
walk around in your neighbourhood naked with a dildo up your arse.

I'd just like to point out that Canadian tar sands reserves
are larger than any other oil reserves current exploitable.
So dump the A-rabs, you Americans and switch wholly to Canadian
oil! No more dealing with the scum in the Middle East! You
can let them nuke each other!
