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.

Would you please learn to punctuate properly. Your work is unreadable.
