OK maybe it's time our President trades in the Ford for a Volt, it just might save the Volt. Oh I get it, he does not have to buy his own car for now. I guess there is no hope for Volt.

Joe appears a genuine car guy, if anyone on the Republican side shows us a Youtube clip one of his guys/gals' genuine affinity to muscle car, I will call him/her a genuine car person and appreciate that fact.

As far as CAFE, let's face it, a Republican administration will have to institute similar standards, it's just a matter of time.

Those of us who are naturally aspirated will eventually fade away, and the next generations have grown up force inducted, but even they will eventually be replaced by their mindless, sorry, driverless offsprings.

To me it's disingenuous to constantly talk about how much you love muscle cars when your policies are making it more and more difficult to produce those cars, and may in fact one day render them extinct.
Ever heard of the Telsa S??

I think GM has figured out how to produce a 460hp car that gets 26mpg and better. They just need to figure out how to get the old farts to stop buying the Corvette. The stereotype that follows this car is a problem for GM. Not sure the younger generation will purchase this car in large enough numbers for it's survival. I know this forum will drive me away in time. Way to many political views that are not right or wrong just annoying as hell.

I agree, but I'm 45 (and Porsche lover) and giving a C7 a shot.

I noticed you were selling (sold) yours already--why??

Sold it for couple of reasons and thanks to the GM card and trade in I lost about $1k mostly taxes , if I held on to it for another year might have lost $10k. The car is hot so had no trouble selling it but in one year not so sure. The design did not grow on me as I though it would. I got the car in oct and @ that time there were none in the show rooms. I did not see one in person before I bought it.That's all I want to say and let's leave it @ that. I had no problems with the car none. It truly is a great car.

Some of you guys can't take a joke. Lighten up. David Letterman cracks jokes all the time and he loves the current administration.

Just sit back and have a little fun once in a while.

President Bush borrowed GM money, a little different than screwing all the share holders out of their stock.....

It might not be climate change. Climate change is just a theory, you know, like gravity. Its probably not even true. Any day now things might start falling up. They can't prove it won't happen.
So according to you, climate change has never happened before man starting burning fossil fuels.....

I guess the last ice age was all a hoax, because the world couldn't have warmed up and melted the glacier over North America before the invention of the combustible engine.

I'm all for equal opportunity and treating people with dignity and respect regardless of race, income, gender, sexual orientation, etc. But political correctness will be the death of us.

Understood! The "racist" remark is attached to the video, and not attributed to me. The audio is a daily play on KSFO (conservative talk radio) every morning at 7am, and most on the left coast, still get a kick out of it.

Let's just say he is very awkward or seemingly out of touch with his sometimes stereo typical comments. The comments do offend some and others such as yourself, are not offended.
