Stupid quote of the week, maybe even of the month...

[A Horse With No Name]

We were doing work for a client and got into a discussion about cars. Guy went into a rant about the US auto industry and how screwed up American cars are. He said...

"...the problem is we haven't punished Detroit enough. We ought to ban Chevy, Ford and Dodge from Nascar and put Honda in instead, because obviously Honda and Toytoa are the only two groups of people who can build a decent car."

This is the rant thread. Rant away about this gent's stupidity if you wish.

I would rather hit, trying to explain to him is a waste of time as much as he is a waste of mass.

It is people like this who make me want to punch a baby. Redneck import humpers.. WTF?!

What a silly person... Honda would never join Nascar. :AH-HA_wink:

That would be like a major league baseball player joining a college baseball team.

Fixed. They're more different than you first said... :AH-HA_wink:

Agreed.

Amazing...you do see all views, though..I was chatting about Nascar with 3 coworkers yesterday, all of whom are much bigger fans than I am...and they drive Hondas, Toyotas, and Acuras..not a domestic car owner in the group.

People = $h!

It's just a fact of life. I probably would've either 1) ignored him entirely (You can't fix stupid) -or- 2) Lost my job. All depending on what mood I was in.

BTW, "People = $h!" by Slipknot is one of my favorite songs.

It would be quite a spectacle though, NASCAR only having Toyota and Honda competing, just Camry's and Accord's. So the guy suggests that while we not only punish domestic automakers, but we destroy NASCAR at the same time. While we're at it, lets convert to a Monarchy! Yay

Why monarchy, dictatorship is better, and it is newer than democracy just like Honda and Toyota are newer to GM.

[NOS2006]

NASCAR is destroyed anyway. Be it a Ford, Dodge, Chevy, or Toyo.. they're all the damn same.

True..as far as motorsport goes, NASCAR is pretty irrelevant.

And idiots like that are allowed to help decide the future of our country. Does that scare anybody but me?

[I hope GMRULES again]

I hope you gave him a little talking too. Maybe he still has nightmares about a k car, Chevette or Escort he had.

Well if Hillary gets elected then we'll have something close to a monarchy. If all goes to plan then after she gets elected for another term Jeb Bush will follow with two terms at which time Chelsea will be old enough to run for the 2024 elections. And by that time we'll all be .

I can't even begin to point out all of the flaws with that statement...it'd take way too much of my time ... and seems to me this guy isn't worth it anyway.

*shakes head*

Sorry.

It's still shocking (though it shouldn't be) to realize the number of people who still think EXACTLY like this.

As I've said before, now a senior about to graduate with a mechanical engineering degree...even professors and other ME students who "should know" still make comments like this day in and day out. Of all the people, it's of these two groups that I just...
