You know people that rave about small cars fail to mention physical safety. Take it from me. I guy ran a stop sign on me 2.5 years ago and almost took my life. I have lived in hell and am still there now due to the lack of medical care. Yea you say all this when a big semi runs you over and there is nothing left of that little car and you have no way to get out of its way (hint: no acceleration)

I feel far more safer in a vehicle that is capable of providing side and front air bags and has got a front end that at least will give me a good chance to not be in the position I was in after my last wreck.

I feel very sorry for all of us that we some day will probably have to go to small nothing cars. I will wait till we have flying saucers before I risk my life again.

You never know when that car wreck is coming and I am unfortunately an expert on it. They are not my fault either.

Lastly Americans want Mustangs right now but most likely just cant afford new cars period.

Also I get the best vehicle care and service from the dealer I bought my Mustang from that I ever got and never imagined. I have invested a few more thousand dollars into my car through the
dealer and that customer care is not found typically in the Auto industry.

I hope other Americans read what I am saying and have faith in Ford like I do. I think every manufacturer has there particular cars or trucks that are their trademark. The Mustang cannot go.

I hope the Big Three don’t get their bail out money and go out of business or at the very least, the government nationalizes a GM and lets the people decide what they really want. Put to a vote…the American people will want efficiency, 80+ MPG or better gas mileage (the technology is here believe me), and smaller, but technologically advanced cars.

My business heroes are/were, Sam Walton and Warren Buffet. Both had an austere sense about them. Sam drove a beat up truck and Warren drives a Honda at times. Ever seen Wal-Marts headquarters? I have…Looks like a reconverted high school built in the early 50′s. They expanded their office space using metal, Butler Buildings. They live below their means…are fiscally conservative and would be embarrased that the average American making less than $100,000 a year would feel compelled to but a big, expensive SUV. Get that Lobotomy yet? Here’s some background on the procedure… http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/lobotomy.html

Why would you embarrass yourself with that comment? I hope you don’t have kids. That would really suck for them. We really don’t more people in this world spreading the type of ignorance you obviously subscribe to to todays innocent youth. I don’t do drugs…never touched them, but I have a procedure that I think you can benefit from…a Lobotomy.

Besides buying big cars to compensate for their physical shortcomings, the SUV is an extension of their family room couch. They basically have made their car into a cushy sofa, complete with drink warmers, DVD players, snack compartments, etc. so that they can continue to enjoy their lazy couch potato ways in their car.

Reasonable and intelligent people don’t need this extravagence. This overcompensation of car size is one of the reasons our economy is in the dumpster right now. We have over extended ourselves, in every way…just because the catchy car jingle said we would be sexier, more successful and able to perfrom superhuman tricks if we bought that Big, strong SUV. People forgot that they would have to figure out a way to pay for these empty promises of grandeur.

Like I said earlier, all of you idiots that said that America desires big cars are have less intelligence than a box of rocks. That Kool-Aid you drank had some drug that altered your common sense. Listen to what your dad said people when you were young…that same dad that grew up in the depression…never…ever live above your means…in fact…it will benefit you long term to even live below your means…

Remember, vehicles are just one form of transportation. Being truly green means designing communities where walking, biking, and public transit are convenient options. This can only be done if we build denser, mix different land uses up more, make room in our streets (or sidewalks) for bikes, etc.

Expensive gas and parking help too.

I fell to that big car foolishness. Bought an X-5 and a Tahoe. Got tired of the many women that got in the car wanting that second date. I now own a Hyundai and it’s the smallest, cheapest and most satisfying car I have ever owned. You goofballs don’t know what you are missing…Oh and I still get the ladies. It seems they like a man that is confident enough in himself and doesn’t need to hide behind the perception and would rather them experience the reality.

You all are posers!
