No, I suspect the next thing to happen is the oil companies' bribed politicians will pass a law making it a felony to burn anything but oil company fuel in any vehicle, driving us all underground. Remember the GM EV-1 all the test owners loved and refused to give back to GM until GM threatened them? That was about dealers bitching it didn't require enough maintenance and oil company politicians telling GM to get rid of it. Yep. And now I'm hearing all this crying about the poor U.S. auto mfgs from different sources. I saw 3 ads on TV yesterday by these jokers, in succession. 1. Chrysler - a big minivan gas hog. 2. Ford - a huge honking crew cab PU gas hog. 3. GM - a Caddie Escalade gas hog. Now maybe that marketing was a coincidence or a product of the cable channel(s) I was watching (CNN, Fox or MSNBC - can't remember). But it doesn't matter. Keep marketing gas guzzlers and you will die or become further marginalized by the Asian automakers. --Vic |

![]() Neighbor that has a fuel polishing business doesn't need any stinking french fry oil to run his diesel truck. Typical customer calls and wants all the diesel removed from his tanks for one reason or another and asks if the neighbor can also dispose of it. Neighbor says sure but there is a $50 disposal fee on top of the pumping fee. Pumps the rotten diesel into 55 gal barrels, takes it home, filters it through his own system and pumps it into his truck. Wrong color but who's checking! BTW, He had a customer that ran fresh water into his fuel tank. He pumped and polished the fuel to remove the water. Not two weeks later, the same customer called and said he had did it again!!!!

You obviously haven't a clue as to what buyers want in their cars. And, as a slip-and-fall lawyer, you'd rather people drive around in mini cars so when they got squashed by full sized cars or SUVs you'll have lots of clients hiring you to sue for bodily injury and pain and suffering. And when they get a million-dollar settlement you grab 90% of it and laugh all the way to the bank while they struggle along on 10%. I just don't know how lawyers can live with themselves.

Thanks for your response to this rude person, Wilbur. I was a bit puzzled by his manners, but now perhaps understand why he acts as he does. --Vic |

BTW, my truck gets 6.5 MPG now. SBV |

And how about the ads geared towards the juvenile, immature ( bobspit types) street racer wannabes? Ouy vay! One ad touts their lighted cup holder. A LIGHTED CUP HOLDER FOR CRIPES SAKE !!!!! SBV |

And you clearly haven't even the hint of a clue as to what I do. You claim to be a lawyer. As a lawyer what you do is make way, way more money than you're worth. Notice I said "make" money. I didn't say "earn" money. But, I don't believe for a minute you're really a lawyer. What lawyer hangs out on Usenet eight hours a day? BUSTED! Just take a look around you. Check out the company you keep. 1) Pudgy stay-at-home dads 2) McDonald's fry cooks 3) Phil Hendrie characters 4) Hillbilly truck drivers 5) Oz rejects 6) Trawler trash 7) PDQ trawler trash 8) Mac26X morons 9) 50GT druggies 10) Misogynistic barts 11) Broken down transPac wannabes 12) Lambchops who live in caves 13) Anal displaced Irishmen 14) Blind men 15) Blind women 16) Maxipad wearers 17) Depends wearers ........wannabe sailors all except for the chronic pretenders. Proud of yourself? Bwahahahahahhahahahahahahah! Wilbur Hubbard |

Keep marketing gas guzzlers and you will die or become further marginalized by the Asian automakers. --Vic Look closely at the lobby success Detroit has had keeping fuel efficient cars like the Smart Car and other tiny European and Asian developments out of the country, with the help of their "safety politicians". I've always wondered why I can buy this: http://tinyurl.com/3777vp Which is American made, has absolutely no safety equipment, whatsoever...but, I'm not allowed to buy this: http://tinyurl.com/2b7f9u which HAS plenty of safety equipment so the passengers survive this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s Here they crashed one into a new Mercedes S-class. It bounced off and everyone survived. Do you think the American on the one I can buy will survive this crash test? I doubt it. It's used as a flimsy excuse to keep fuel efficient cars that hurt my oil company President, GW, in his pocket book. Of course, not all Smart Cars are as fast as these with the 500HP Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine in them....(c; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPQIi...elated&search= Here's a Diablo Smart wiping a million dollar Ferrari's nose in a drag race....too funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV1zQ...elated&search= ------------------------------- We're just now getting ONLY the most inefficiently powered Smart Cars into America. It's been years of waiting.... God I love youtube....(c; Larry -- http://www.spp.gov/ The end of the USA and its Constitution....RIP |
