Smart Canada? Isn't that an oxymoron, Mooron?


Hmmmmm.... Lets see.... we got more oil than youse guys, better beer than
youse guys... and from what I understand our women folk are really good
lookin'.. :-)

I think "American Intelligence" might be a better oxymoron!?

High school kids like to tip those over as a prank whenever they encounter
them.


How can I argue with that.... being as rumour has it you spend an inordinate
amount of time studying the behaviour of minors?

It usually results in some expensive damage.


Polymer panels and roll cage....


Are you going to get a pair of matching clogs to wear when yuo drive it?


German engineering.....

Put a "USA Sucks" bumper sticker on that toy and drive it around Texas,
pardner.


That's a stupid idea Max... everyone knows Texans are illiterate! Maybe you
meant .....tie a clubbed seal to the back and drag the carcass thru
California?

Thanks for doing the math Bart. I don't understand why they can't put the
specifications in the correct, American terminology.


I understand you guys have the special "AutoCad- 'Imperial' ver.10 now. :-)

Did you need the conversion to "Chains" & "Spans"????

Nope, it'll just mean that a push will start for higher wages to cover
the higher cost of manufacturing and transport brought about by the
oil prices.


You should tune in to the CNN Special on American Oil consumption.

Got one thing going for it. Nobody will ever know if you've been in a
rear end shunt, or not, because it looks that way from the factory.

I'll keep right on driving my 16 y/o Subaru 4wd sedan. It's paid for
long ago.


I wouldn't get rid of my SUV or trucks either.... but for daily runs to the
city for work and errands.... you just can't beat the fuel economy and
manoeuvrability.

Driving to the city daily for work... 100km round trip per day...
constitutes the majority of my driving. $10 fill-up or $80 fill-up for the
same Km.. do the math.

This is what I'm lookin' at buyin'......

It's gay.

Higher gas prices will mean less dependence on foreign oil, incentives
for new technologies and people will drive less. I don't understand why
the liberals are crying.


... it's 4ltrs/100km at 70mph with 6 speed paddle shifter & a 40hp diesel
engine. Excellent crash test rating and polymer exchangeable body panels.
I already have a sufficient fleet of V8, V6 4x4 and all wheel trucks/SUVs.
I want a small car that's cheap on fuel.... this thing is fricken Cool!

I watched one of these negotiate traffic the other day and find a place to
park in a full lot. The guy got to the booze store and was back on the
road before I even made the turn into the parking lot.

It isn't and won't be available in the USA ...and Liberals always cry!

I concur. I have a manly pickup truck for hauling ammunition and animal
carcasses and a 44 mpg hwy compact for driving to the florist and gay bars.

Amen!

Nothing like a truck to run American anti-sealing activists off the road...
but since being gay is legal up here... we don't have "Gay Bars".

Are you going to let Lil Thom do that when he grows up Robert Brody?

I've also read that 80 mpg is more typical.

The higher mpg's are achieved by drafting on motorhomes.

I'd buy a diesel version if it was available in the US.
95mpg is fabulous.
