That's not only applicable to the metro you know.

Now I need to calm down…anyone fancy a beer?

Nah, Beemer pilots are deliberately obnoxious but it's Volvo drivers who are the fricken worst, only in a completely clueless way. It's like, "I bought me an indestructible tank, so you poor bastards can suffer the consequences of my incompetence and I'll survive whatever disaster I cause." Except there's not that much cognitive activity going on–more like the instinctual blunderings of a mollusc with a heavy shell.

I'll take that beer if you're getting the first round, though. It *is* after noon.

Volvo drivers are okay….they just have NPR on too loud so aren't aware of their surroundings.

They should realize that Ford (or is it GM?) now owns them so they aren't indestructible tanks anymore…on the contrary.

It is Ford.

Volvos for that last 15 years self destruct on the slightest impact, but then the car absorbing the energy an impact is the whole point….

yup, pollard. the glover park "whole paycheck".

Because they have this magnificent luxury car, but deep inside they know that it's really a piece of crap and they've bought into the whole company line. They're compensating so *you'll* think they have a magnificent luxury car as well. Quite sad, actually….

Sure, but the molluscs in question still *think* they're buying what Volvo used to represent, not a Ford wearing a Volvo badge. Or at least act like that is the case.

when singers rhyme the same word twice

And I may be leavin' myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leavin' the back door open

——

I will be
In the bar
With my head
On the bar

Everybody's Rapping Like It's A Commercial Actin' Like Life Is A Big Commercial

Markie may disagree, but when I was in old blighty I remember "bimmers" as we called them, as the peice of shit german luxury car. Audi was the one with the highest status, and MB just grandads car.

Maybe they just have a better ad agency in doodleville.

Haven´t been in the US for a long time, can´t follow that closely the polls, but if that is the case, then I would change from mad to sad.

Probably more like 13%…remember, it's the corporate media spewing out the numbers.

Seriously, if Bush wins after what he's done the last four years, then you doodles deserve all you get.

Who was it who said,

"People get the government they deserve"

(Or something like that)

Watching chicken shit nations pull out of Iraq to meet terrorist demands.

You are right about 1 at least thing…….

MB is grandads car, but they have done a lot to shed that image recently, entering F1 and the not for North America A-class. But still if the c-class can get you pulse racing, you probably are over the age of 60.

Audi in the early 80's was a disaster that has slowly pulled itself up, it still does not have the cache of the other two, which can be seen in the poorer resale values of the A8. Still interestingly they are switching from turbo to normally aspirated engines to try and compete head on with

BMW Whilst there have been some shite cars, the flat six engines have been remarkably fantastic. I think the current 7-series looks amazing. Give me an M3 over anything else.

Watching chicken shit nations follow America into Iraq like a lost puppy dog…didn't see America follow them into N. Ireland or the Falkland Islands did we?
