Ford Profits, GM Repays Debt, Mercedes Prototype Crash, ...

[XxGarrett2xX]

another weird commercial but pretty cool though

[aznboi892]

lol oh well... at least the idiot child didnt ruin the veyron like that moron who drove his into the water while "looking for his cell phone"...

[gerfall]

GM did not repay their debt. Played you fuckers for fools!

[tvsambeek]

supposedly the 20 year old guy driving the bugatti had stated to the cops that he was being "challanged by an airplane" as the road he was caught on runs past the airfield, incidently, on the same road a biker was caught a couple of days earlier doing 122MPH, he also lost his license

[gogmorgoaway]

In Ontario, if you're caught doing 50kph over the limit, it counts as street racing, and the car is impounded, and then crushed. No ifs, ands or buts,

[bliglum]

@gogmorgoaway WOW!!! Really?! That sucks big time! 50kph over.. Thats like 25mph!

[gogmorgoaway]

@bliglum well, it's closer to 30mph, but yeah, it does. People have lost new Ferraris and other pretty sweet rides because of it. But if you think about it, 30mph over in a 30mph zone (where most actual street racing happens) is twice the limit. I think it should be more of a percentage than a set figure, though. My friends dad had a company truck crushed because the speedo was broken, and he was coasting down a hill on the highway.

[bliglum]

@gogmorgoaway Man, that's bull shit. Too strict. I mean yeah, 60 mph in a 30 would be bad.. Particularly if it were near neighborhoods and kiddies.. But 90 in a 60 highway condition.. And they crush you car!?! Fuck that, I'd run.

[Earthlinked]

Profit + Taxpayers = NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!! NO Senator or congressperson would EVERY allow this to happen - they gonna need a billion for kickbacks - money for liquor, drugs and hookers - you know - those thinkg that are the most valuable to Washington!!!!

And GM did repay their TARP money - WITH OTHER BORROWED TARP MONEY!!!!!!!!! I think they might have forgotten to tell us that!!!!!!

[saskLS1]

Lol,

They have the exact same GM ad in Canada, just words "America" and "Americans" were replace with "Canada" and "Canadians".

[rexirexi]

I can make a better car in my own garage than Government Motors, America cars fucking suck

[TripleZ89]

If that was MY kid who took the Veyron he would be disowned and sent to some Godforsaken island where the natives would pursue him through the deepest jungles in an attempt sacrifice him to the car gods who bring them food in Land Rovers. (we have no heart to tell those natives the Defender is just a car not a God, but it makes first world countries's job much easier.) Now where was I? Oh right, the Veyron kid. He would be doused in Cheetos to tempt the natives to chase him faster.

[elmoekardt]

f*ck gm, toyota ftw

[CrisDriftin]

@elmoekardt even after their like freakin millions of recalls? Idk, but, GM lookin better than Toyota right now

[MrMightycow6]

Anyone u stills a car is a douche bag period

[crazyviolent69]

thats what she said xD

[Rorycarguy]

@vasyagn Ukrainian u say . interesting :)

[silverberber]

GM is full of it. They paid back the first loan with the second loan

[thomisonnnnn]

LOOOOOOL. I'm going to shave my leg.... my third one! :L

[medelucki1]

lmfao!! you freakin rock D MAN

[comedicd]

@medelucki1 thanks man!

[tommooren]

YAY GO ROTTERDAM :D

[iamafreeskier]

but to get the car taken away is a douche bag move

[maxthesloth93]

I wouldn't say that kid is a douche bag, I'd do the same thing if my dad had a bugatti veyron

[vegasOasis]

What's wrong with his pants?

[Xeyad1]

you've actually had 157 humpdays...

[cmtegaravello]

If they had the European Focus would be a lot better, still charging a fortune for their cars and selling mostly Work trucks and rental cars might be the answer

[Rorycarguy]

@vasyagn ah they arent too bad now , admitedly i have to say that because my sister is working there ! but meh ! You see im irish and we never really did like the germans!

[00corin00]

Hello FLD!!!!!

[deloreanfan81]

had no doubt GM was good for the loan....

[PeterMayer]

tuck in your shirt....;)

[WR250HUSKY]

Ford increase sales might have something to do with Toyota loosing sales with their shit boxes !

[grgmys]

You DO know that GM "paid" off their loan with interest "5 years ahead of schedule" using more government loans right? They took essentially took more of our money in order to pay us back. It's outrageous that they're claiming this when they've essentially paid off one credit card with another. That commercial is currently under review for false advertisement.

[comedicd]

@grgmys that's why i said "our money"

[grgmys]

@comedicd Know what? you're right, but i don't even care because Derek D actually addressed my comment!!!!!! Suck it world who thought i'd never amount to anything. I thought you meant that the money that they made to pay us back was technically our money (which is also correct) I meant that they borrowed more money from the gov't to pack the loans back.

[AWDfreak]

4:49 finally the true meaning of "hump day" is revealed

[librano]

I thought it was the "hey, how 'bout a deal!" leg...

[kouznetsov]

great show! was that really a Bugatti going into the lake??

[rpo305]

@kouznetsov Yea that happened late last year. search the vid on youtube...its madness

[ImTheSlyDevil]

i knew you would talk about your "leg" xD

[Jmanmadness23]

Damn, haven't heard a third leg joke in forever, thanks for the laugh DD!

[comedicd]

@Jmanmadness23 no prob man

[StealthGhost]

They "repaid" their loan with another government loan basically. Don't be fooled, GM did not do it with their sales, since their sales really don't exist.

[nickv11763]

@StealthGhost if you had to pick one car from either Ford or GM and cost was not an issues what would you pick, b/c i sure as hell would love to have a vette c6, Z06, ZR1, a cts-v, xlr-v, camaro, need i say more, i mean i'd settle for a ford but i'd rather have GM any day

[haloaum]

@nickv11763

Not quite... A Ford GT is better car on the road and on the track than the corvettes... especially the plasticy zr1. The 2011 Mustang is better than the camaro, not to mention more reliable..... Camaro is plagued with quality issues..

[nickv11763]

@haloaum you gotta lay off the pipe the Ford GT is not better then a ZR1 on the track, pls show me a track where it has beaten it, don't just make up shit if you don't know shit, oh yeah and i wanna see the links to prove it

[haloaum]

@nickv11763  you are assuming i meant the Ford GT is FASTER on the track.Ford GT is a better overall package as its a very good road car.easy to live with when you are just cruising..and its fast on the track.

[wiseman2083]

What a fucking retard how could you do that to a million dollar car

[5speedonly]

why would she say that...fail

[BlackTransAmdude]

Alright Ford way too go keep it up.

[THEASSOSIATION]

douche bag!!!!

[oscarlithgow]

F**** you Alonso..!!!!

[kevinbrueck]

If I was that kids father I would ground him for the rest of his natural born life. And I'd keep the keys to my Veyron under lock and friggin' key.

[tournapart2]

@kevinbrueck before or after you knock him unconscious?

[kevinbrueck]

@tournapart2 LOL, after!

[gogmorgoaway]

diabled vehicle in the parked in the left lane? Who's the genius who thought that up?

hmm... I know, I'll just leave a car in the fast lane. Good idea...

[kirillkolomyts]

can you PLEASE keep this commercial instead of ROYAL PURPLE????

thank you )

[gmangigson]

dooouuuuuuuuuuuuuche baaaaaaaaaag!!! (the kid)

[JohnMarineTube]

Love the Audi R8 road car. LOVE it. Congratulations to the blue oval boys (Ford). Good for the repaying of debt by GM. I was never good at Economics (failed Macroeconomics in college and barely got by in high school Economics), so I won't comment further. Sad news from that Mercedes-Benz crash. A college age kid joyriding in a $1.5M+ exotic? Good he got owned. At least this guy isn't as bad as the dope here in Southeast Texas who drowned his Veyron. People will insure ANYTHING these days...

[rutz08]

why does audi keep advertising the R8.. none of us can afford it..

[DZoneTV]

R8s and children don't make good commercials.

[Fast81Z28]

GM used TARP money to pay back those loans. They didn't use corporate earnings. It's a SCAM.

[Vaxile]

Nice one one Megan Fox! :))))

[USBrooks]

1. Yay ford

2. DD stop tucking your belt in on one spot

Tres. Thats spanish for 3

4. That audi commercial was sick

[carecalzon]

One of my favorite episodes so far. Good job guys, informative and entertaining. I would produce you any day haha.

[mrNHC]

Yo, Derick D I've heard that you're gay. Is there anyway I can get your email or phone number so I can send you pics?

Thanks

[thefinancialcrisis]

Derek should stop wearing pants from the 90's.

[comedicd]

@thefinancialcrisis yeah no one wears jeans anymore, way out of style

[Windgrace]

Ford might be recovering, but they still have a huge debt ($34billion) to pay off from a loan they took out in 2006. They may not have taken government bailout, but they have been in the red for a long time and look like they still have a ways to go to pay off that debt. (See Page 2 of the article about Ford's debt posted on freep, it won't let me post it)

[bordd2deth]

who cares how many hump days you've had cause i hump everyday

[JonnyCee91]

he was only doin 100 when he got caught.....weak!!

[avalanche520]

He was only doing 100 mph in a 50 zone, that's weak, he really is a douche bag and didn't have any balls, at least 160 with a freaking Bugatti could have been plausible and safe, I've tripled the speed limit with a Captiva, (Daewoo Diesel Crossover) Doing 90 in a 30 zone, so really this guy should just kick him self in the face for not having any guts

[LGSAUSAGE]

Loved that audi commercial!!

[1Alt1]

Ford is running SHOW! ... i mean running "SHO"

[mellowdalyricist]

i think the secret behind ford's success is using MIKE ROWE (from dirty jobs) on their commercials

[west2401]

I'm happy to hear the good news about Ford and GM!! Well Done!

[funnytigre]

hahaha j.f. "were keeping that one"

[muffinman127]

bring back commentor of the week!!!!!!

copy and past if you agree

[fatmanlee7]

I love it Ford great job..this shows that we are recovering.

[Greendude33]

Not only are they both in the Green again but Ford And GM are kicking the foreign car's around in the quality tests.

Detroit is back, screw the chong chong cars buy American!

[aldosalthren]

@Greendude33 bs american cars suc balls, they break down, get bad fuel economy, and hav an average turing radius of a bit more than the distance pluto travels to get around the sun euros make the best cars

[Greendude33]

@aldosalthren What an ignorant comment.

Do you smell that? Oh its your credability burning away...

Where have you been? during all the Racing wins of the Vette or the Reviews picking the new American cars over the Foreign ones.

No thanks to the liitle dick car's ill take Detroit esp with their returning dominance.

[vipermoon64]

why does dd always have a cup in his hand? is it to supply his alcohol addiction?

[vipermoon64]

[ilikekimchixp]

[nagasako7]

The repaid GM loan comes form liquidating brands.

Not profits.

[lexoni1]

bring back commentor of the week!!!!!!

copy and past if you agree

[grasshoper80]

Can't they at least once in a while let some one else(Alex) host this show..

IMHO this guy blows..nothing personal...

[comedicd]

@grasshoper80 criticism taken, but in your humble opinion do you mind explaining why i blow? Yes i'm not a hot chick like Alex, that's a given...i mean other than that

[mattmcoop]

Bring back Commenter of the Week!!!

[nightops11]

love the r8 commercial

[SourGrey]

this episode seemed boring. Its usually more exciting. but i guess its wed so. big deal.

[outlawsonic]

Fernando Alonso gets the douche bag award

[Ice1man44]

I sure hope she didn't say she was going to insure her THIRD leg

[davidkeane88]

wtf is a disabled vehicle?!

[ThePenpen44]

@davidkeane88

A disabled vehicle is a car that cannot run due to a problem such as, a flat tire, out of gas or anything that prevents the vehicle from moving.

[djay102687]

Wow did i just see some idiot drive a bugatti into the lake?? why do most morons seem to own then destroy such a expensive cars??

[IIAlpineII]

that audi commercial was awesome!

[cbremer83]

Since we own GM, shouldn't all Americans get a dividends check like with any other company you own stock in? Granted spread across 300 million people it would not be an astronomical amount, but I can not help but feel screwed in this deal.

[stigger91]

If I ever had anything nicer than my BMW I would never let my son drive it. I don't care if he thinks he's Schumi, he's driving his Jetta to the movies. Also my thoughts with everyone involved in that accident.

[marksapollo]

I saw an advert for the R8 convertible on TV tonight, I find it really strange, they are advertising on national telly a car costing above 100K as though it's the target market? I can't ever remember Lamo or Ferrari putting ads on national TV?

And am I hearing it right, that daimler test driver smashed into the car PARKED on the HARD SHOLDER? Or was it parked in one of the highway lanes?

[katsika7]

@marksapollo

he said parked in the left lane

[illmatic2345]

why cant they bring the austalian ford xr8 falcon to the states !!

[ziggyzedly]

@illmatic2345 no dout you checked out FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) you guys are missing out on a fantastic car.

[YUBU8]

imma go find a way tooo insure my leg tHE THIRD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

best line all day hahahahah

[wadams19]

bring back the old intro music!!

[JGADSON]

I think Ford should come with a simular comercial thanking Toyota for their vehicles messing up, THAT is where they doubled there profit. But just to make it clear (unless i wanted a diesel) i would still buy a Toyota befor i bought a sorry a** Ford

[josh1303]

All Old news

[azharmohammed0]

she said she;s gonna insure her 3rd leg? WTF

[JZADrift]

Guy was watching the F&F too much.

[rowson88]

Why did Canada have to part-bail out GM?

[wrfilmshd]

If I had my thumbs insured for 10mil euros, I would come up with some elaborate scheme to f**k them up, then just brake them. The elaborate scheme would've been pointless. And FLD, bring back Commenter of The Week!

[Dina0wnes]

over 153hump-days

[45thejuggalo]

aaaahhhhhh...its not playing!!!

[EndlessT]

[TheGavio93]

[KillSwitch2170]

@TheGavio93 guess if he loses his thumbs he gets 10 million euros

[TamiyaRunner]

The GM news was late rofl

[Qnickel27]

Bob Shubin Jr. should insure his arms and legs as they are essential for his world renouned "Hey how bout it". And yes it is world renouned because FLD has at least 3 viewers in Dubai wcich is not in america so that is the world!

[comedicd]

@Qnickel27 we got more than that in Dubai, you'd be surprised man...and yes i agree Shubin Jr. is the man

[metaleggman18]

Car commercials...they rarely get them right...

[imagrent]

Ahh why would you show a clip of a dumbass driving a veyron into a RIVER!!!! That's like the 100th veyron that's been totaled

[carlocivicsi]

haha nice one (at the end)

[DivergentButton]

LOL that GM commercial is always on here in Canada but instead he says "a lot of Canadians didn't agree with giving GM a second chance" ahaha productivity fail

[hteverow]

that commercial makes no sense...

[47501770]

I love hump days!

[mensager110]

[xero0412]

[jordanr1504]

Why are chevrolets being made over in asia?

[ttiffom2016]

[lorenzotjhee]

@ttiffom2016 AWD dude :P

[gearheadd318]

How is that kid in the Veyron a douchbag? His dad let him drive the car and he gave it some gas. It's something I would have done and most enthusiasts would also do, is he a douch because his dads rich? Theirs a time to do stupid things in life, its called when your in a car with 1000 horsepower.

[snare94]

[ratmtbola]

@two66mhz and now?

[punkenduro]

that kids face in the commercal is great.

[burnoutnt]

They forgot to mention their sales numbers also benefited from Toyota's problems :)

[SmashedTV4U]

My third leg is priceless....

[ambee514]

dude fuck Holland that is all i have to say.

[blesbaupin]

Who cuted JF's hair like that? He should seek justice.....

[vp4d]

@blesbaupin cut not cuted stupid, cut is past and future tense.

Eg: i will cut, i have cut

[blesbaupin]

@vp4d Sorry. English is not my first language. I dont get to practice very much here in Brazil. Will try to do better next time.

[Mknives]

Beckham's legs are insured for a lot more than 10 mill. Check that garbage out.

[quuaa1]

GM still needs to up their game

[minibus1351]

thumbs. wtf.

[Speedbeetle07]

Ford did so well because Mike Rowe did a couple commercials

[2hisk0]

lost a buggati for 100 in a 50? fuck that if i was driving it id lose it for 200 in a 25.

[siralexu]

in your face GM  take a page from ford's book and learn how to build proper cars

[mrbeerdagunslinger]

If you are going to speed in a Veyron, you might as well go all of the way. 100 in a 50? I can do that in my volvo.

[niswel]

Derek, for the record, i think that we've had about 28 billion humpdays, if you start counting when the earth formed...

[rayrehem]

if only my daddy had a veyron....

[vettelover2009]

one other thing he forgot to mention...they used more borrowed money to pay back borrowed money....read that yesterday

[vitessemeister]

R8 is sexy as hell, and well done Ford, import more cars from europe!

[youlance29]

ZR1 SMOKES R8!!!!

ALL DAY EVERY DAY!

[GTtuner56]

@youlance29 Maybe in numbers, but I'd rather have th R8 =)

[vitessemeister]

@youlance29

Yea, I'm not even on about the corvette and you're already feeling self-concious about it. Get your head out your ass.

[youlance29]

ZR1 SMOKES 430 SCUDERIA!!!
