Somewhere another factory closes....

I'm so glad the government will force me to buy cars that are already available....having choices is really hard.

Every car and truck should be driven over a cliff. Horses and buggies. And the folks standing behind Obama should be shoveling the horse shit in the streets. Not only do you put the Government to work FOR you, but we would no longer need that foreign oil. We could export all that horseshit to the middle east to fertilize their sands for crops and set up irrigation canals on the nile for crops.

Watch "The Obama Deception" in HQ! This is the truth about Obama that you must know!

[tallzdatank]

yea but umm what is a farmer going to do to harvest his crop? move hay? what about tow truck services? contractors? the people who need a big strong truck to work and make their living. by forcing all vehicles to get 35 miles to the gallon they are only forcing people who need their vehicle to feed the country to go out of business. thank you barrak obama for causing the up and comming fammine. congrats you've screwed us all.

[tallzdatank]

umm they're building um cuz thats what people are buying. duh.

[tallzdatank]

you are right, obama hasnt got any idea what hes doing with "economics" except that he thinks he has 2 throw money at the problem. socialists believe that spending money and using the government to fix the worlds problems is the way to go. why didnt the german government bail out vw during the depression? instead they gave um contracts & bought merchandise. how bout we mandate that all government assests be spent on american goods

[tallzdatank]

yea and my brothers 91 dodge cummins gets 30mpg pullin a horse trailer across the continental divide every fall, doing so he is running over 500 horse power. so yea, from a big ol 5.9 diesel. thats not 2 bad loaded take the emissions shit off we'll c what we can really do with it.

Not true. The Clean Diesel Jetta TDI set the world record of 58.75MPG driving across the contentious United States in 2008. For the record my 2006 only gets 46 to 51MPG. Argument holds no water.

[kcfoxie]

furthermore, off road equipment is generally exempted from the emissions acts because emissions only apply to on-road vehicles. combines and tractors won't sooner get a DPF than will a gasoline car that can't even make use of the technology. Again, your argument is based out of fear and misinformation. We're on youtube. Why not search for videos of european diesel cars on the dragstrip and get back to me?
