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. By the way Corvettes stopped rattling "after a year"
years ago. Everyone knows that story has become an old wives tale
these days. As far as cars from overseas goes try buying what is
considered the finest. My neighbor has a E series MB. It's now out
of warrenty. Every trip to the dealer for service costs him $1,000.
Wiper blades are $60! And you can't get them at the local parts
store. Or how about a BMW? There great cars right. Do a check on
service recalls on those babies. Count how many per model per year.
As far as the Boobs kiddy car goes he was just caught up in the 0-60
time per dollar advertising plus he wanted to be admired by the
teenage skanks he cruises for.

I seriously suggest you take an honest look at American cars......




He's not going to, Ozzy. The US builders are such a mess it almost
boggles the mind. Imagine that the Japanese companies perfected the
economy car and brought it to a level no one could have imagined. The
US builders STILL can't match it. Then Korean companies come here and
do the same thing, still with no solid answer from the US builders.
Then companies like Subaru and Honda refine small chassis designs even
further and make fun cars out of them. A lot of people are correctly
impressed with an STI over the Vette because the STI does so much more
with it's AWD system. You can bet the new Evo will be a killer as
well. The Vette is a danger in anything but smooth dry driving.
There's always some tool like poor Sloco who thinks his Lincoln is a
match for a BMW. Why? Cuz he read it. I've driven a 330 XI and 335 XI
and the only reason to look at a Lincoln would be to save money. And
you'd lose it on resale!
The American car companies have no answer at all to my AWD LGT Turbo.
No response to cars like a 5 series. And when Pontiac comes out with
their all out effort to dethrone the Miata with the Solstice & Saturn
Sky....they fail. Then Mazda slams the door harder with the power
hardtop version. In spite of Inventing the Minivan, the Chrysler
models are the worst on the market while a newer entry from Kia ranks
#1 or #2 on most lists. Even VW has an amazing transmission in thier
slick hardtop convirtible. And then there's my neighbor who just sold
his Dodge truck and bought the Honda Ridgeline. He says it's like
going from a covered wagon to a starship.
Of course anyone with eyes and time behind the wheel of the latest
cars knows this. Even as US car makers improve reliability, they are
far far behind in every other respect.
People like Sloco look at something nice, like a 330 XI and say,
"Okay, what will seem almost as nice for less?" And then they lay down
their money like chumps and claim it's about being patriotic! A chump
is a chump and that's exactly what Sloco is.

The USA can't even design a good TOY car! Powerwheels ride-ons have NO
disc brakes, NO rack & pinion steering, low torque and miserable
battery life. Thomas drives a Pen Perego Gaucho Superpower, the only
24 volt model on the market. It's bigger, faster and safer by a mile.
I suppose Sloco would buy the 200 dollar powerwheels at Target and
think that's fine. I wonder if Target will be selling US cars soon?

Only one solution...get rid of the unions....problem is, when whoever
tells the designers to design a car, the designers are constrained by
cost...when the majority of the cost is sucked up into union inflated
wages, then you're not going to get a quality car because that's not
where the effort is...

it's nice that your teaching him how to be an
environmentally unfriendly, lazy slob at such an early age.

I've driven a 330 and the impression I was left with was WOW a nice
Accord. Oh, and it couldn't get out of it's own way. Tell us Boobie
why do more and more reviewers state a BMW is NOT A GOOD VALUE.

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!!!!

In the case of the J29 & 30/30 they are supposed to be faster. They
weigh 2,000 less. The 35s5 isn't faster because it's sailed by
incompetents. That's been proven by the race results all over the
web.

not if ''the big boob'' is aboard.

I think it's a match and I've proven it. Any money lost on the resale
of the Lincoln is made up by the fact you can't get any money off on
the purchase of a BMW. So when you buy a BMW you get shafted on the
front end.

Bob prefers to be shafted in the rear end.

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.

Wanna talk about forums. You talk up BMW. Have you read any BMW
forums? I have. Every single owner says "SELL BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS
UP"
