Mencken famously stated ""No one ever went broke underestimating
the
taste of the American public."
GM has proven him wrong.

Does it really have to do with taste?
Just depends on how you define taste.
As in, "Not enough Americans have a taste for GM vehicles."
What got to me thinking about this was I saw a Bob Lutz interview
on TV.
Seemed like a reasonable guy.
So I looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"When Lutz became chairman of GM North American development in
2001
one of the first things he stated was that his new 500 hp car was
going to save General Motors. His full compensation in 2008 is
estimated at $6.9 million."
And this:
"He will retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one
reason
for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in
Washington
that would force him to design what Federal regulators wanted,
rather
than what customers wanted."
That is what I mean by "taste."
Lutz and the others running GM were complete fools.
Gonna save GM with 500 hp car.
Gonna give the customers what they want.
Sorry, close your ears. I have to say this.
LUTZ, YOU TASTELESS ****ING MORON!!
I WOULDN'T HIRE YOU TO CUT BAIT!!

It's been time for decades to wean american males off their
overpowered
penis substitutes in cars and boats.
Like lobster boats?
Krause sure does seem to have more than his share of penis
substitutes. Even if some of them are imaginary.
That you have any purpose is imaginary.
The only photo FloridaJim ever posted publicly that "claimed" ownership
of a boat showed a decrepit I/O hulk from the 1980s or early 1990s that
looked as if it had served as a roadside home for roaches and raccoons.
My guess is that he was mustered out of the Navy at some point, and
that
service "servicing" his shipmates was the high point of his miserable
like. Afterwards, he pretended to be a boat repair handyman.
Amazing WAFA reply to boatless jps. Delicious!
What's delicious is how you stick your nose is other folk's sweaty
assholes. And, I have a boat silly ****.
What is a 'boat silly ****'.
Did he mean, 'I have a boat-silly ****'?
Did he mean, 'I have a boat, silly ****'?
Did he mean, 'I have a boat silly, ****?
These references to 'delicious' gay sex must be for the benefit of
Donnie and Harry,
I am surprised that people with *any* sense of decorum will even
converse with this guy.

..and yet you feel compelled to respond to him!
Why is that Johnny..are you strangely excited by the so called..gay talk'?
Having nothing more than drivel to offer, he attacks my grammar.
Johnny's excited by having at Librals, just like I'm excited by having
at idiots. I have him plonked, not worth the time.
Silly old ****.
