Now, if we could only do the same with “war on terror” and “Islamic terrorists”.

[Terry Mross]

This is what happens when the government has too much say in how to run a business.

So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevrolet to the levee,
But the levee was dry.

(that doesn't sound right)

[Chode]

latin americans don't know Latin...

Its Chevrolet to foreigners like Barry O and crew, to us home growns it will always be Chevy.

So how does ‘Coke’ for Coca-Cola differ from ‘Chevy’ for Chevrolet? Most of us say ‘Coke’ and most of us say ‘Chevy’. These retards at GM might just be a part of GM’s problem.

Don’t say “Byfuglien”, say “Big Buff.”

[Nik Naym]

That sort of describes me as well. Now I wouldn’t buy one with YOUR money.

(Oh, and how about those Vegas? Is it true that they were actually made of compressed rust? ;) )

I was pondering the whole latino low rider thing. You don’t see those god-awful things in mexico. After traveling and working in over 20 states of mexico, I think the reason you see them here and not there is because mexico is littered with “topes” (speed bumps) on nearly every road in the country. The speed bumps are not mere speed bumps...the could better be described as small mountains. A low-rider could not be driven 3 miles in mexico without being totaled. Thus, with nice flat roads here, the mexicans feel compelled to drive cars here that they could not drive at home.

Within the whole American Car Kulture, low riders fit just fine.

[TheBattman]

WE are from the government, and we are here to help.... (the scariest words in the English language)...

[CalvaryJohn]

So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevrolet to the levrolet,
But the levrolet was dry.

There, that sounds better.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Where do they find these people?

It is obvious the lessons of New Coke were lost on these marketing geniuses.

Its Chevrolet to foreigners like Barry O and crew, to us home growns it will always be Chevy.

Of course with the NASCAR accent, it's:

Shiver-lay (Shivey) and Fo-word.
