One of the links was to another article about Honda pulling out of Formula One with the same date.

Car and Driver has a long history of elaborate April Fools Day articles. Last year they had an article claiming that Toyota was going to resurrect the Oldsmobile nameplate.

Thanks! The problem with this one is that it is so believable. Can see ZERO doing this!

I can tell that you don't smoke! The prices jumped Monday, but since he is the POTUS, its probably free for him, thanks to us low life citizens!

It’s a joke now but in a couple of months it will become true....or something like it.

We have a President, House of Reps, Senate and a bunch of cabinet members in the Executive branch that just spent every dime the USA has. Then they spent every dime our kids will never have, and then again every dime our grandkids will never see either.
A bunch of them drove our country into the crappy condition it is in because they all wanted kickbacks, reelection promises and every pork barrel project that was as worthless to anyone as could be imagined.
So..... how could any of us ever believe all of a sudden, they realized that a financially strapped company needs to cut back on spending in order to stay afloat?
If only they'd apply that philosophy to running the damned govt!

“Someone Recruit some brothers from tha hood fer NASCAR drivers.”
Is it possible to do a drive-by at 180mph or would the wind resistance make you drop your “9” ?

IIRC, Car and Driver once did a road test article on the Mercedes Benz GT.
P.S.- “GT” stood for garbage truck

This is perilously close to the truth. If this past Monday was April 1, the “Obama fires GM CEO” would have been deemed an April Fools joke.

you know what gipper? maybe NASCAR nation and the rest of the nation NEED to get really pissed off. Maybe something like this could be the catalyst to whatever needs to happen to make all this crap stop.
(Even if it is an April Fools joke, i still wish a critical mass will occur soon to make it stop)
