Bioethanol Bentley, GM Kills Dealerships, Dodge Van in a Canyon, Artega Roadster - 01/28/2009

The dodge Van guy allegedly bought his brakes from a Mr Wile E Coyote at the Acme corporation. An eyewitness to the event said 'Beep Beep'. There's a lesson there for all of us!!

Artega looks like a pathetic Porsche kit car...

... Dereck I pity you., looks like it'll be the Solstice. I tell you now you'll regret having this poll in the future...

...passing on the GTI or even the Bimmer over a looser Pontiac?

This "global economic downturn" -- insert thunder sound here -- is killing the U.S. way of life.  Hopefully the change in the oval office will bring change to our failing economy.

GM is f-ing things up even more for the U.S. economy.  By closing plants and dealerships that just makes more unemployed people to burden our other social programs.  People out of work, can't pay mortgage, housing market is terrible, Banks foreclose, bank won't lend, banks go bankrupt...  It's the trickle-down effect.  The Auto bailout was supposed to keep Americans in business.  Now, the American worker is suffering?

It's too bad that people would lose their jobs over these dealership closures.  That just perpetuates the hole that we are in.  But like turboman808 said, the disgruntled workers in some of these dealerships are terrible.  They act holier that thou, but WTF they sell cars for a living.  They act like it's a privilege for them to talk to you.  Umm, no.  Just give me the rebates and incentives, toss me the damn keys, let the car speak for itself and get the hell out of my way.  I don't need you to try to sell me something.  You are just seeing dollar signs when you see me anyway.

Ok, sorry about the rant.  Buddy Christ gave me the thumbs up though so I feel better.

The Artega looks great.  when I saw the episode umm cover I guess, the title screen, I thought it was a 350 or 370 Z car though. 

Nice looking Bentley, looks like a smiling spider.  Here is another car I'll never own and probably never even see in my life time.

* Bio-Ethanol is hardly the politically correct choice in the current economic global crisis.

** DD Correction: During the reveal at the Geneva auto show, I asked if the Artega was MID ENGINE or REAR ENGINE.

"REAR ENGINE".  I immediately crossed it off my list. Georgeous car, but too dangerous.

I think losing some GM dealerships is a good thing.  I had 3 within a few miles of me until recently.  One just closed it's doors.  All of them have miserable people in the service department.  When people are in fear of losing their jobs they are suddenly nicer.  Having to take my GM car in for service only to be confronted by some dick with an attitude leaves me with little confidence.

170ft jump in a dodge van! Pretty sweet!!! The van almost broke ken blocks 171ft rally car jump record! just two feet short. Guess he will have to try harder next time. 

Better luck next time buddy!!!

that silly man in the dodge van. the roadster was grand, i am a fan. good times. good times.

The Artega Roadster looks really nice, except for the huuuge mouse and huuuge wheels.
