Welp, the car replaced the horse as the primary source of personal mobility.

Those who don't want personal mobility ---- ????? Does not compute.

Twelve years of public indoctrination, uh, I mean schooling, will do that!

They might consider how often the parents are buying the cars for their live-in children, which show up in the stats as adult buys.

Clearly it’s time for the government to compel these youngsters to buy a Volt. I’m sure it is constitutional.

Obama gas prices are driving young car buyers to cheap Korean imports.

How’s that Obama support working out, blue state Detroit Auto Workers?

Volt factory workers?

Hmm? Any second thoughts about maybe you’re on the wrong side yet?

1) Are they counting illegal aliens?

2) Are they even advertising cars to the male audience anymore?

3) Maybe all the men are home, with their porn?

My two main reasons:

1. My childhood memories (70’s and 80’s) of my parents with their POS American cars that no matter what, never seemed to run right and were always in the shop. I remember my Mom's Pinto in particular - what utter garbage that was. The American Trabant.

2. I will not support the UAW. Sorry Ford, that includes you too. Even though you do produce some nice vehicles.

The government’s cash for klunkers program destroyed many of what would be “affordable” starter cars. We all had beaters when we were young. We bought better used when we could afford it and then finally new. Uncle Obie plugged the pipeline of cheap starter cars for young folks.

In our case it is because the 23 year old got the 2000 Expedition that has 134,000 miles on it with the statement that if she takes good care of it she can get another 100,000 out of it. If anybody is buying new it is going to be momma and me.

Most of the cars offered today are particularly uninteresting, and those that are seem to be priced far beyond the reach of the average young car buyer.

When I was a freshman in high school I couldn’t wait to get a car.

The Seniors from well-off families had GTOs, 427 Corvettes, Boss 302s, Hemi-Cudas, Z/28s, etc. Gas was 37 cents per gallon with 100 octane Hi-Test available for a few cents more.

Kids these days are happy schlumping around in trenchcoats, gang tats and face metal staring at their 4G Chicom whatevers.

I’m glad to have lived at the apex of America. It won’t be pretty from here on out.

If Obama had a son, and if his son bought a car, it would be a Kia Soul.

They don’t make cheap VW beetles any more.

More than likely a kids first car is going to be a hand-me-down.
