If you truly want to go green, get off your ass and ride a bike. I hate the American mentality about riding bikes. Most people:

You should move to the Netherlands...everyone rides a bike there.

Hey Gribble my sister is moving to DC this summer. You and me should hang out sometime and have gay butt-sex

I was thinking we could get drunk and find cheap women. But **** it. Who needs women? I call tops.

[misombra]

oh man i so would like to see that.

I hope this whole situation is going to make auto makers rethink their future market strategies. Oil is on its way out (literally over the next couple of decades). Auto makers should be more robust getting into the renewable fuel market, there are so many ideas out there.

oil is out. let the water wars begin!

Most people/industries do not look past their own life span. They careless about anything beyond 50 years.

Welcome to USA, the land of shitty cars!

**** ya!

that's why i drive a mazda.

I understand the economic implications of the big automakers going under, but I still think it's bullshit for the gov't to bail them out. They're not an 'essential' service like the banks are.

Besides, if I buy a new car it's sure as shit not going to be domestic.

That's why I drive an 18yro Volvo...still chugging. I'm part of the Volvo High Mileage Club.

Parts are cheap, decent mileage, and after a little fixing here and there, has been pretty reliable.

[DoesntMatter]

US, German, Japanese, and Korean cars ALL suck

Italian cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris ftw

[boobaa]

Japanese make some of the best cars in the market btw.

[DoesntMatter]

In terms of reliability yeah. That's why my parents have 2 Toyotas, a Camry and Corolla

The government could bail out the workers instead. Create new jobs for them. maybe they could fix some of the ****ing pot holes around here, or maybe clean up some industrial waste caused by the auto industry.

I don't think the actual auto corporations deserve to be kept alive. They're not viable. Infusing them with money would be like putting a corpulent, cancer-riddled, comatose, radioactive 87-year-old man on life support at a thousand dollars a day just so the nurse that takes care of him can keep her job. She can get another job, and the guy is at death's door anyway. Pointless.

That's probably what's going to happen, though, since our government is about a jacked up as our medical system.

I think we should go Kevorkian on the American auto industry.
