WOW. I just had flashbacks to my high school years.
My brother had the same blue outfit!!
ROFL. Shout out to Bear1909 for sending that our way yesterday. Great stuff!
Comedy gold!
Congressional Motors (CM)… snort.
LMAO….
now THAT’S funny.
very funny… love the B. Frank dig…
what’s not funny is how Pelosi et al. actually expect the American people to believe they will be able to tell a good business plan from a bad one. These a-hats know nothing about business, how the world works or pretty much anythingelse for that matter. Our system is broken becaseu we put people in power who have no skills other than knowing how to manipulate th emedia, etc. in order to gain and retain power…
I thought my hat was missing!
That’s hilarious!!!……I’ll take one in puke green with jumbo mizzenmast attachment.I’ll have to locate my white leisure suit and platform shoes before cruisin’ the strip for groovy chicks.
In a battle of wits, Iowahawk comes well armed!
Hey…some snappy wheels and some bling..
and it’s still butt ugly! I’ll keep my Tundra thanks.
Will we get a $500,000 coupon to help pay for the changeover, like we did for TV converter boxes?
That is way too good! I will definitely share with everyone I know!
they used to have this commercial with some fat russian babouska modeling different lines of clothes (spring wear beach wear etc) and they were all the same gray outfit…looks like we’re going back to the future..
All it needs is a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror and it’s a deal maker.
Clever, but what makes it not funny is that it actually could happen. More fact than fiction I’m afraid.
Hmm…”Kongreßlastwagen”, anyone?
Ted wants to know if they float.
Do I need to dress like those guys.. They look like they came from the Castro district in SF?
does it come with fuzzy dice?
No but it comes fuzzy headed political promises.
The hell with all of you! I liked leisure suits.
Awesome!!! IowaHawk nails it.
Max (#6) is spot-on about the business plan. It’s all political posturing, and it’s too bad that some folks continue to fall for it. Expect the Big 3 to flood congress with tons of dead trees — which they won’t have time to read because it’s almost time to adjourn for the year — and the congressional crapweasels can say, “Look! They have a PLAN! Now let’s all go get on our private jets and fly home for the holidays.”
(Can I still say “holidays?” Will the PC police come after me now?)
I still think Fred Flintstone had a better product.
This is another masterwork from the brilliant, and possibly prescient, Iowahawk. The guy knows cars, politics and funny. And fashion.
Does it come with peddles or do they cost extra? It looks great for dodging those 18 wheelers on inter states.
It looks similar to some of the little transport vehicles on Logan’s Run.
Call them the ‘der Volkkongreßbehälterlastwagen’
Ahhh…the ULTIMATE 3rd-world car!
Thanks for the laugh of the day. IowaHawk is one funny person.
L
Does it come with traction control and rack & pinion to dodge waterbuffaloes and yaks?
Sorry, 18-wheelers will be outlawed. Interstates will be reserved for the political elite.
It looks kind of like a Janus.
And don’t worry about sales! HR 555-1234, the AmeriCar Sales and Security Act (ASS), will prohibit private citizens and non-favored corporations from purchasing a non-American branded car (even one manufactured in America–Toyota in Alabama, etc) while any dealer within 500 miles has a comparable Crapwagen in stock.
That should be the mandatory car for all the Crapweasels.
Thousands will stand in line at the supermarket to bid on the last egg and box of powdered milk.
The scary part is that is a real car, designed by a French man and built in Mexico and powered by compress air.
GGEEESSS!
right4life, it was a Wendy’s commercial from the late 80’s and it was hysterical….
swimwear….very nice….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWAKtYGJZSM
This is where the revolt happens–Pelosi-Reid-Obama shut down trucking to “save the planet” and suddenly even the hardcore nutters are infuriated they can no longer find organic toilet paper, Tofurky, or “Sarah Palin is a —-” T-shirts at the co-op because they’re all produced in another region of the country.
Hee hee.
The ‘new 18-wheeler’ would be a Pelosi GTxi SS/RT with a single axel utility trailor,flatbed or box.
Farfrompoopen
That is why you only eat with you right hand in the middle east.
Ah yes, laughing at fuel efficiency. One of the things that made Republicans in the Bush era so annoying and destructive. You’re keeping this in the platform for 2012 then?
Capable of carrying up to 6 pounds of vital produce. (Unless you plan to drive uphill. THen you need to take the 6 pounds of vital goods off the flatbed, carry it up the hill, then drive the Pelosi up the hill, put the 6 pounds back on, and continue on your way.)
Very funny!
MSN has a post today to remember the Yugo. I guess a Yugo would have to be classified as a limo under Pelosi’s rules since it carries more than one! Probably reserved for those “rich” people who make over $250k per year. We all know the elites-D won’t be required to drive or ride in one.
Digshot, no one is taking away your choice to drive around in a 3-HP tin can if that’s what you want. We just don’t want to do it ourselves, and you have no right to force your preference on anyone else.
Weed? Arugula? Capers?
No laughing at the idea of driving a sardine can.
Getting rid of 18-wheelers would be great. We can move more freight more efficiently with our rail network. There would be fewer highway fatalities, our roads wouldn’t require as much maintenance, and both the economy and environment would benefit.
Or, DRILL BABY DRILL.
I have decided that this product will not work. There is no way one can fit it with 22″ rims for urban use. To do so would eliminate holding that 90% base vote.
Meanwhile, Digshot is hung up on mpg. Liberals are constantly miserable and angry, nary a moment for gesting and fun.
It will be entered into the NHRA as a 4 minute car!!….NASCAR would do well to start using these also.To get 500 laps in would take nearly a week.;-)
Then, I’m glad the late, great Dale Earnhardt isn’t around to see what happens to his great sport.
Looks like a Rolls Canardly.
You know, rolls down hill, canardly make it back up again.
*rimshot*
If we start driving the cars liberals would like to see it will be the obnoxious bicyclists cursing at us for holding up traffic.
When will Barney Frank come out with his signature zero carbon footprint vibrator?
0% interest,free fuel for 1 year.
Remember…the oil industry will be nationalized by then.Rations will be 1 pint of gas per week!
I got as far as that right there before I wet myself.
It looks like a clown car. How many members of congress does it hold?
That attitude is obsolete. Are you paying attention? The American auto industry, about as foundational as anything else to our economy, is collapsing because of that attitude. To assert that it’s some special American freedom to drive around in a big car using lots of gas no matter how it terribly it affects the economy, public health, or national security is just bone-headed. Why? How can you just nonchalantly take pride in how quickly you can burn through a limited natural resource to the great detriment of so many aspects of our society? What makes you think you’re entitled?
Yeah, I am hung up on mpg. You know why? Because that’s all it would have taken to avoid the current auto industry trouble. If Bush had compelled even a modest increase in their standards close to the beginning of his presidency, the big three would be in perfect shape right now.
You people don’t get to have fun until you start solving problems. Or at the very least, even correctly identifying problems.
chef – all of them, if you use a shoe spoon.
I have no doubt that Congress will give them money without major restructuring of labor contracts.
Unions are the reason that the Democrats are in control and now it’s time to cash on on thier investment.
Me thinks Dig already has one of these jewels…
Digshot – You and I are obviously from alternate universes.
Or if you toss a coin in side.
I CAN HAZ WON?
So it’s President Bush’s fault that the UAW’s heavy-handed tactics in the sixties and current inflexibility have broken the backs of the big three? OoooK. That’s good to know -
Listen sport. GM has many cars that get thirty miles per gallon. GM’s problem is extremely high labor cost.
TRY TO KEEP UP
GGEEESSSS!!!
another amazing display of stupidity. I can see why people like you want the government to run every aspect of their lives…
You’re probably right, I sensed a little bit of defensiveness.LOL.
.
Speaking of the Yugo, I found this weblink with some hilarious Yugo jokes which would also be applicable to the Pelosimobile.
http://freeweb.deltha.hu/zastava.in.hu/jokes.htm
I PAY FOR IT
thats why! duhhhhh
Does that mean I can’t drive my 1974 Ford LTD 460 cu.in. with burned out mufflers and billowing blue smoke?:-((
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Toyota and Honda are what’s broken the backs of the big three, no matter how much you’d like to invent and chase around a new liberal boogeyman.
What you meant to say is if the companies had renegotiated reasonable contracts with the UAW so they could be car manufacturing companies again instead of social welfare agencies, and if they designed products that gave the consumer what they demanded (high mileage? yeah, for some) then they would not be in the bind they are in now.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHAT Digshot DOES IN THE BEDROOM.
Digshot said: NOTHING THAT IS ACCURATE.
lets not go there
is there a retching emoticon?? 
Why don’t you ride a horse? Oh wait, that’s cruelty to animals. I’ve got it…WALK! At least until the Starfleet Corps of Engineers develops fusion power on a small, contained scale.
How so? Both of those companies have (non-unionized) factories here. Are the employees there unhappy? Underpaid? Don’t they build cars that are well made, reliable, and with the features consumers want? Why can’t the Big 3 do that?
There is some scientific thought that it really may not be so limited, but only by envrironmental efforts to block discovery and production.
You can also take your argument to China and India, whose increased consumption of petroleum negates our government’s obsession with MPG.
Better yet…why don’t the big 3 follow the examples of the foreign car companies here in the south.Get rid of the UAW,pay workers a fair wage(not massive union pay),keep the gov’ment out of them,they may actually work.
Only because the UAW tied the big three to contracts that did not foresee foreign competition – it’s all the UAW’s fault, no matter how lipstick you liberals put on it!
And why aren’t “domestic” cars worth anything when you pay them off?
And how did they break the backs of the Big 3? Was it, gasp, the fact that their employee costs are lower than the big 3?
I want the government to issue significant and sensible mileage and safety standards because the only thing that would do is solve problems and create opportunity, two things our government is supposed to be doing. That’s not the government running ‘every aspect of my life,’ it’s a government watching out for its people, for its economy, and for itself. If you’re so dedicated to the free market that you’d rather watch the American economy collapse because some moron chief executives couldn’t see the writing on the wall than have the government issue stricter mileage standards because you perceive that to be a terrifying threat to your freedom to burn gasoline, then really, what good are you to humanity? Short-term greed is more important than long-term stability?
Ugh. The future is a place of green, renewable, cheap energy, and inexplicably, Republicans are going to have to be dragged there. Not encouraging.
I think Digshot has too many types of unions he wants to support.
Digshot – You probably consider that all of the posters on this site drive gas guzzlers. For the record, my primary vehicle is a Volkswagen Super Beetle, and I will occasionally ride my bicycle to work. When I lived in the greater L.A. area, I took the bus to work. I like to consider myself an “active environmentalist” as opposed to an “environmental activist”.
That being said, I am also a borderline libertarian, and even though I question the need for people to drive in some of the vehicles that they do, I don’t want to see the government dictate the kind of automobile that I or anyone else should drive.
If the government feels it necessary to encourage the use of more fuel efficent automobiles, then I wouldn’t have any problems if they provided financial incentives for individuals to buy them.
And the downward spiral of the U.S. automakers is not the fault of President Bush for not imposing higher fuel efficiency standards (since he never vetoed a bill during the first part of his Presidency, it appears that Congress never presented him with any such legislation), but it is the fault of the U.S. auto industry, both management and UAW, for not making a quality product that the customers wanted.
Stalin couldn’t have said it better!
Just finished cleaning the coffee spew off of my computer….let’s hear it for IowaHawk, and another dead on parody!!!
Digshot…most Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans get virtually similar MPG as their US made counterparts.
The problem is that the AVERAGE
GM employee makes roughly $39/hour, plus an additional $33/hour in health benefits and pensions.
The average very happy, non-union Toyota employee makes $25/hour, with good, but not ridiculous benefits.
All said and done this adds $2000 to the bottom line of ever single car coming off the line of GM. So every comparable Toyota is either $2000 cheaper, or if it is comparably priced, has a $2000 value/quality advantage.
The REASON Toyota, Honda…etc has broken the back of US automakers goes directly to the unsustainable wages extorted by the UAW.
so you want the government to dictate what kind of cars are made. and the governemnt is NOT supposed to ‘create opportunity’ governments NEVER create opportunity, only limit it. as far as ’solving problems’ when has the government ’solved’ any problem??? hmmm?? remember the war on poverty?? did it ’solve’ poverty??
a large part of the problem with the automakers IS THE GOVERNMENT. sigh….government can’t pass laws and the world will buy detroit’s pieces of junk. we haven’t had captalism in a long time…this is more like fascism…and yes, LET THEM COLLAPSE.
yeah I’m sure you have a final solution in mind for people like me
and where is that wonderful stuff I’ve been hearing about for the LAST 30 YEARS????? it aint’ here…and its not gonna be anytime soon
That’s totally absurd, but even if it were true, the reality is that oil only forms on a timescale of millions of years and the population of the planet is growing exponentially. You shouldn’t have to be an economist to know how unsustainable this situation is.
Who cares about China and India? Let them keep choking through their dirty industrial revolution. If we had any sort of green energy industry underway or in the works, we could be viewing those places as potential markets.
And what’s wrong with obsessing over MPG? If the problem is fuel prices, then the most immediate thing you can do to alleviate that cost is by burning it more efficiently. Isn’t that obvious?
oil is not a fossil fuel…
The lead scientist on the study ? Giora Proskurowski of the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle ? says the hydrogen-rich fluids venting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Lost City Hydrothermal Field were produced by the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth.
and we can produce oil from coal and the remains from turkey processing plants… sigh.
I can give you names in your area of some very good mental health professionals.
Digshot..
FYI.
2009 Toyota Camry
MSRP: $19,145 – $25,575
MPG: 21 City 31 Highway
2009 Chevrolet Impala
MSRP: $24,540 – 31,885
MPG: 19 City 29 Highway
Similarly outfitted and sized cars. Similar MPG. The Chevy runs about $5000 more, but the Toyota gets significantly higher ratings by more or less everyone.
By the way, I can buy a Camry HYBRID for a starting MSRP of $26,150 that gets 33 city 34 highway.
Chevy is overpriced due to it’s ridiculous UAW inspired overhead. Period
They need to declare bankruptcy, reorganize, and come out more efficient or they die. And we as taxpayers get to subsidize the $25 billion dollar funeral.
Perhaps you would be more encouraged if the Al Gore’s and Nancy Pelosi’s of this country would lead by example.
FYI, I’ll be trading my Honda Pilot (17mpg actual) for a 2 yr old Suburban with a Flex Fuel engine in a year or two.
Hey Digshot, have you ever been inside a union-dominated manufacturing facility. I have. The wasted labor is beyond belief. A 15-minute non-routine task like simply having a pallet moved out of the way for machine maintenance is a 4-hour job that requires multiple forms and signatures and a safety team to review and oversee the activity. Union-dominated facilities waste billions of dollars per year. I have bought Fords all my life but I am tired of half my money going to waste and union fraud.
Hey Digshot
I do sub work for a small energy company that has no government help. In twelve months you’ll see what free enterprise can do. To hell with your government meddling.
No one’s laughing at fuel efficiency, moron. You obviously don’t understand satire. (I guess it’s only funny to you if your crowd isn’t the target.)
ECS
PS: I commute 18 miles to work on a 100 mpg motorscooter. What kind of mileage do you get?
Okay, slow down. I haven’t been advocating what you’re talking about, I don’t think the government should be telling you what cars you can or can’t drive. That would be a ridiculous argument if anyone was making it, but more than that, it’s indicative of all of the problems with conservative ideology these days. I propose the government compelling automakers to raise the fuel efficiency of their cars, you guys interpret that to mean I’m some Communist that wants to dictate what everyone drives. That’s ridiculous and that’s not at all what I said I wanted to happen.
A ‘quality product’ would have been something even minutely more efficient than what American car-makers have been offering for the past few decades. They cashed in their ability to survive competitively for short-term profits, and as one of the few core manufacturing industries we have left in this economy, our government had not only the right but the obligation to step in, and they abdicated. That goes for Bush, the Republican majorities until 2006, and the current Democratic majorities.
We can either take the hurt in small doses or we can take it all at once. DRILL BABY DRILL.
Who wants to slam Digshot first?
you do realize that in order to do that, cars are made lighter, and more people die.
