Some classics from it.

My coworker told me that a Prius has the fastest 0 to 1 mph of any production car in history. Is this true?

Well we know that gas fumes are bad for you, thus exposing yourself to an EMF instead seems substantially safer. Besides, it isn't as though you can escape EM fields anyway.

Unless your vehicle has a leak you will be fine. wink

Ha, good. Also remember:

Sony. Bony. *with the picture of a skinny man*

And something about 'Jaguar. For the man who wants a hand-job from a women he just met.'

Why not regular Japanese vehicles? As they're generally built superior.

False.

Why do you think American car manufacturers are going bankrupt?
Yep, they make inferior sub-standard products with cheap materials and crappy interior.

Most people are leaning towards buying German or Japanese, even Korean, cars. And I don't blame them.


Just compare a Cadillac to a Benz or Lexus.

I'm no idiot. I'd pick the Benz or Lexus any day.

Japanese car companies have and still borrow money from the Bank of Japan. They are not in any better condition than anyone else.

Also, their vehicles are small and under-powered.

I would take a Cadillac over any of those vehicles.

If you can't support the workers in your own country it's hypocritical to tell people to support the troops or anything else.

It's basic general knowledge. American car companies slacked off for years relying on the "I only buy American" mindset to pull them through, it made them lazy, so they've been playing catch-up for years now. While they've improved and there are decent to good American cars, in the general sense of it, Japanese car simply built better.

I don't need cars with high displacement. Average Japanese cars can still run over 100kph, enough for me to cruise the freeways.
Besides, if I were going to buy a supercar, I'd buy a German or Japanese supercar, like Nissan GT-R or Mercedes SLR McLaren.
Do Americans even have a supercar to begin with?

It's your lost, not mine.
But if I were you, I'd be careful on where to spend my hard-earned cash.

First of all, I don't live in my own country to begin with.

Second, I've never supported the troops. In fact, I'm disgusted by them.

There are several different hybrids so if you don't like the Prius and its problems (which is surprising since for the most part Toyotas are fantastic) just buy another hybrid or the volt when it comes out. And if you're afraid of hitting a blind person cause the car runs so quiet, it's a perfect opportunity for an enterprising young inventor to affix some sort of hypersonic whistle that only blind people can hear onto the car.
