I can't believe all you guys missed the obvious retort:
"What a piece of junk!"
(And you called yourselves Star Wars fans.
)"I DROVE THAT THING THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK FLAMES AND ALL. I WATCHED IT BURN THE REST OF THE WAY DOWN IN THE PARKING LOT."
My friend and I were driving my dad's station wagon up a mountain road at night, when the engine caught on fire. We pulled over and had nothing but dirt and pepsi to throw on the fire. After it was out, we started it up again, and flames promptly reignited.
We ended up having to drive the car back down the mountain road. Since there was no power, there was also no power steering or power brakes. I was literally standing on the brakes, both to keep the speed down and to give me enough leverage to turn the steering wheel.
"Too true. I remember back before the 04 Presidential election, a lot of Kerry-supporters were complaining about jobs being shipped overseas (you know, as part of the arguement that Bush 43 lost the most jobs of any president since Herbert Hoover)."
I recall there being a bid for tractors for a government job. It was John Deere versus a Japanese brand. The Japanese brand was cheaper and won the bid. There was a huge uproar, but it was later pointed out that the Japanese brand was made in America, whereas the John Deere was made in Japan. Go figure.
We have a 22ft Ford motorhome, a Dodge Caravan, and a Mazda Protege hatchback. We've also had two saturns (at different times.)
