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!!
--Vic
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 ****.

Do you want to compare sizes? Value? HP? Bilge pumps?

Every newsgroup you frequent includes a long history of your
conflicts. Food, barbeque, fast food, what have you.

Every single newsgroup.

You really should up your sessions to 5 a week.
So you lied when you said you were looking for a boat? You are more
like WAFA with every keystroke, Sherlock.
Dickless, people who are interested in boats are always looking for
boats. If something showed up in my price range right now I'd be
interested. I'm holding out for what I've set my sights on but I
remain open to alternatives.

Are you one of those stick-up-the-ass blindered "conservatives" who
can only think of one boat at a time?

I take that back, we know you're a stick-up-the-ass "conservative,"
the only part I'm missing is if you're only interested in one boat at
a time.
So the short ,and mature, version is - you don't have a boat and you are
looking at them. Why are you compelled to lie and be an asshole? Did
you get beat up in school, you pathetic *******?


I have two parents you silly ****, both of whom were involved in
producing me. WTF produced you?

I see you like to steal other folks' themes. Thinly veiled version of
my supposition that your father kicked the **** out of you. Apparently
he left enough of your cortex intact to minimally function, like a
silly ****.

You like being chased around like you chase Don?


OK, so you don't own a boat. Admit it and skip the bull**** and
name-calling. It's too obvious - to everyone.


To all the jackasses who live inside your skull?

I have an 11" Boston Whaler with a 25hp merc. It's ready and rigged
for whatever davit gets installed on my next vessel.

In this cesspool, a Whaler is plenty good enough.

What's you boat Dan? Are you a bass fisherman? In rec.boats you're
known as an ass fisherman - by everyone.

This Newsgroup post is a natural product. The slight variations in
