Default Boobie's Car?

The Boobster says he doesn't live in the past but the stuff he puts
forth regarding American cars clearly places him in the past.
American cars in 2007 are quality products as good as their Jap
competition.


What a laugh! Hey, trailer trashy, do you even drive US built cars?
Ever drive a Ford Focus, Jeep Liberty or Lincoln Navigator? Ever
notice how those cars have switch-gear that gets stuck in the dash?
Ever check the average longevity of a Chrysler mini van vs. a Toyota?
Oh, and I know someone with a new Vette. FAST car, but the rattles
continue. And for anyone who thinks Sloco has a clue, please check the
Motor Trend Vette forums where HALF of the late model owners complain
about squeaks and rattles.
The wives tale that US cars have about equaled overseas models was
printed by some papers and so on. I don't know any enthusiasts who
agree with it. What can you expect from a guy like Sloco? Has he ever
driven an STI, LGT or BMW 335? Of course not. He lives in a bubble of
ignorance. He thinks improved reliability makes these cars a match for
a Subaru or a BMW? Is he kidding? US car makers can't make ANYTHING as
refined or simply as nice as a Subaru or BMW. Anyone who's driven a
2007 Navigator vs. a BMW X5 knows what I mean. And......

If you care about things like refined usage of fuel....the average of
the top five MPG American cars gets 27.4 mpg in the city and 33.2 mpg
on the highway, while the average of the top five Japanese cars get
46.2 mpg in the city and 49 mpg on the highway. This equates to 68%
better gas mileage in the city and 48% better gas mileage on the
highway for Japanese cars. My LGT that does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds uses
less gas than a Chevy Cobalt!
Come to think of it....in the last 11 days I sailed J29, Santana 30/30
and the 35s5....all faster than Sloco's water-dragging Express-O-
Snail!!!!
