What happens if you get a magazine that's a different size than the recesses on the table? Does that mean that you can only use it to display "Wallpaper" on it? Stoopid idea.
The only thing worse than committing suicide by shooting yourself in the face is attempting to commit suicide by shooting yourself in the face and living to tell about it. I used to work in a hospital, and took care of a kid who tried this with a shotgun (he said it was an accident, but since the shotgun was pointing up into his chin, I doubt it). He ended up with a tracheostomy, 3/4 of his jaw missing, and no nose.
All of you Global Warming gurus need not worry; it will be back in vogue in a few more years (if history is any indication). Maybe Al Gore can revive it in time for the 2020 Presidential election cycle!
I am currently paying $3.52/gallon about 1/4 mile from my home, and yet the gas station 8 miles south of here charges $3.69/gallon. AND, at $3.52, the dealer is making 11 cents/gallon profit.
Despite all the worry about plastic vs paper bags, "global warming" (soon to be followed by worry about "global cooling"), phthalates in toys, or any others of the myriad of things to worry about, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!
Thomas: "Arguing on the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win, you’re still retarded."
That's where we differ; you consider it argument, and I consider it debate. I'm not likely to change your opinion, and you're not likely to change mine.
Johnny: "Yeah, if you could comprehend a simple sentence". What makes you say that? Reread my post; I pointed out that you first said people should have a choice, and then said that one person shouldn't be driving around in a large vehicle by themselves. THAT is not choice; that is dictating what should or shouldn't be done.
"Social responsibility"? I think it's more about guilt than anything.
As for "Gas prices have already determined our fate", I don't think of it as "fate", as I fully expect the earth will last for eons beyond our lifetimes. People have already made adjustments to higher gas prices, and it isn't the first time that has happened (similar situation in the late 1970's).
It's my opinion that alternative energy will eventually take the place of oil, just as gas powered vehicles replaced horse-drawn vehicles. I'm patient and confident enough to wait for that to happen, and am free of guilt about being an American, which is apparently more than can be said about you.
Johnny, Listen to yourself. First, you say that people should have a choice. Then you say "you don’t need one person driving a 8 cylinder with a truck that weighs 8600lbs". Which is it; choice in what we buy and do, or being dictated to by someone who "knows what's better"?
We get enough of the "knows what's better" in our life in the form of government regulation and the media's doom and gloom stories. We don't need any more.
Besides, high gas prices will regulate what people drive. If there is a market for this car (which there obviously is), then it will sell. If there is a market for large vehicles, then they will survive. BTW, look at all of the 8 cylinder vehicles with "For Sale" signs on them that people are trying to unload.
I hope that I never have to risk my life by being forced by the Government and guilt-ridden Americans to drive toy cars such as this. ("we use up proportionately more of the world's resources", "we shouldn't be drilling, we should be conserving", "We American's are evil, because we drive large cars", etc).
I certainly have no problem with anyone that wants to risk their life driving one of these; that's their decision and their right to do so. But PLEASE allow other's the same consideration of choice if they so choose to drive a larger car.
As for being hit by a Hummer, forget that. What if you were driving one of these and were hit by an 18-wheeler or hit a deer or bear? Me thinks the car would lose....
Shprocket - so, the criteria for being a "good" redneck is that they are nice and they FAVOR GUN CONTROL? I know people that are decent human beings that favor gun control, and some that are against gun control. That's not a criteria I use when assessing whether someone is "good" or "bad".

BOHICA.
I mentioned NOTHING about patriotism.
And I'm lazy? How is that? I work 56 hours/week (at least). I wouldn't exactly say that is LAZY, would you?
Riding on the coattails of others? How is that? (I can go into details that would specifically contradict that, but I won't do that here).
And a specific candidate that won't wear a flag pin; when did I ever mention POLITICS? And you have the nerve to call me a "right wanger"?
Sounds to me that you have a lot of pent-up political frustration.
Good bye.

You shoot for the torso, which gives you the maximum chance of hitting the intended target, as well as the maximum chance of disabling the target.
