JUDE Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The fact is, car manufactures, like drug companies, have created a business environment and standards that meet THEIR desired results, maximum profit with minimal investment. Hey Tucker, Gather up some of your like-minded Earth Shoe wearing friends and start up an alternative automobile company. Take all of the ideas you've spent countless hours preaching about on here and make a difference in the world. Hell I'd probable even buy one, and I love the internal combustion engine. Plus with a business plan like "Maximum Profit with Minimal Investment", you should be able to get financial backing without problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Dear Sue/srmt, Please lock this silly thread. It wasn't a bad thread to start per se, but we don't seem to be doing such a good job of policing ourselves. Thanks,Ken Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Jesus Christ......do you really care or do you just want to prove your right? I'm not one for slamming people online but honestly dude you come off sounding like a little kid, all petulant and whiny. I'm sure everyone appreciates your eco-friendly outlook and the fact that your aghast that Wilco has sullied themselves by letting VW use their tunes. But for fuck sake take a step back. This reminds me of me and my sister as little kids, we always had to get the last word/punch/poke/slap in with each other. I am interested, and if you look back, you Link to post Share on other sites

plasticeyeball Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I’ve provided several lists as well as links in which VW does not have a single model in the top 10-15, I’ve yet to see one from others backing their claims. Not a one.

Good Old Neon Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Actually, the Hummer thing was more because of how useless they are for the average every day driver. Even if they got 40 MPG, I'd think it was pretty much an entirely unnecesary car because the average hummer driver lives in a gated community in the suburbs. Plus a lot more pollution is caused by the creation of everything from the absurd amounts of plastics and rubbers that go into making it (much more so than the average car) than you see on a sedan. The fact that they get 10 MPG makes them even worse, in my eyes. And here's the thing, dude. I'm not pretending like I'm better than everyone else and that I'm not leaving an effect and that I'm making a difference in the world. You are. You're sitting on your pedestal way up in the clouds judging VW's because they only get 30 MPG and that they still have a negative effect, but if you drive a car as well then you are more a part of the problem than the solution. This is his shtick, I think. He cries about being ignored but has ignored every single piece of information shown that goes against his point. He's a troll, and it's showing more and more with every post. I got shit when I called him a troll when he first appeared, and it's absolutely true.
