I like my car the way those ex-nazi's designed it .. its 35 years old, 
gets 29 MPG and hauls ass.  No way am I sticking some hippy **** in my 
tank.. and I never do business with ****ers who use flash navigation and 
offer no alternative.  Your web site needs to lose some weight and 
increase information per bit ratio.

yeah right.  Tell that to my tii

what is this 'drive' you speak of.  What is this 'park' you speak of.??

not on my 35 year old car -- warm up phase is at least a few mins while 
the transmitter plunger reaches 10mm and reduces air/fuel to warm running 
status.

what is this cruse control you speak of???

what is this overdrive you speak of?  So I should ****ft just before 
redline rather than just past?  OK i can do that

Lies.  Everyone knows the faster you go the less time you are buring gas. 

Well .. either way my car has a terrible exaust rattle at 3500 RPM and 55 
-- it smooths right out at 70+

What is this traffic you speak of?  When I see another car I wave since 
its so rare I think they might be lost

Yeah when you go to town you need to get all you can get .. never know 
when the free world will come cra****ng down.  Don't forget extra ammo

When prices go up every time you go to the pump you should buy fuel as 
often as possible, since the next time you show up it will cost more.

convert to a kugelfisher injection system and adomize the **** out of 
that gas.
