so most of you here claim to be patriotic and mostly short and hope the country goes down.

Obama And The New Auto Regulations
- Thread starter EMRGLOBAL
- Start date
Quote from Rabbitone:
I spent 35 years in the auto industry before I retired. The solutions built by all the auto companies were not random. Most of these were built by strong customer demand. Obama has blinders on. He only thinks in a narrow channel. Obamaâs cookie cutter solutions will have profound long term affects on the America and the American consumer.
Here are a couple of areas Obama is affecting with his ultimatum:
- Hauling Vehicles. Try to pull a boat, camper or trailer with an Obama gas saver truck. Performance will go to hell the minute you add the weight. LOL a Ford F150 is going to get 30 MPG pulling a 5000 lb boat!
- Transportation Vehicles. Families have been demanding bigger vehicles to move 4 children or take the âBigâ vacation. Now Obama is going to build 39 MPG transportation vehicles? LOL a Chrysler Caravan with the wife 3 kids and a dog and two weeks of camping gear getting 39 MPG!
- SUV Vehicles. People in the colder climes of North America depend on the SUV as safe transportation to drive to work in 12 inches of snow. It and 39 MPG do not compute. LOL driving a Honda CRV in Buffalo N.Y. typical 18 inch one time snows to get 39 MPG is going to make a lot of people very nervous.
I could write all day to add to that list. But what Obama is plainly telling you is your way of life is going to come to end. He is going to force you out of your big car in to a small one or better yet to public transportation. The era of the freedom of choice and freedom of the road is ending if Obama has his way.
This is a very important summary.
The question I have is who are the people that Obama talking to?
Perhaps the technology can provide the mpg goals but who wants the vehicle? None of the above (from your list) will meet their needs.
The main obstacle to public transportation is not the limits of service but who we share a ride with on the subway or bus.
Suits ride with gangsta's? Not when they have a choice.

You have issues.
You have to embrace change, it is not your enemy.
radical ruinous change is what happens in times like this when change is needed but, because of dolts like you, radicals are put in power who dictate change that is not in the long term interests of the citizens of the afflicted country and is in opposition to the historic ideals of the country.
along those lines, embracing destructive change (or being to thick to tell the difference) isn't the road to nirvana that you have conjured in your pompous head. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot.... all used the gullibility of such as you to sweep in massive change. not saying he's Hitler, but Obama has the whole cult of personality megalomaniac thing going on just the same- all a HARPO production that gives the nazi propaganda machine a run for its money.

Being short or occassionally taking a short position does not mean you are not patriotic it just means you are playing both sides of the market. There obviously comes a time where a stock has just run up to far to be long.
When I am short a positon it has nothing to do with me wanting the country to go down the tubes. What is the difference with a bank selling their positions which are large which drives the stock price down or their position in puts to hedge themselves?

Do you always move your house?
I thought it stayed in one place for a while.
Lol, that was pretty good. Luckily I do have a real home.
My truck is hooked up to a roughly 6000lb trailer of concrete forms most of the time. I don't think an Escape would quite do the job, and I don't consider it a full size truck. I am all for fuel efficiency, but lets see it in some larger vehicles as well that are capable of working.
No idea what an xdrive is, sounds interesting. Any links to it?
Quote from TraderZones:
Nothing wrong with raising the gas standard. There IS something wrong with people who need to commute by themselves in 8000 pound Ford Excursions.
People buy ginormous SUVs and trucks for no reason, which have a nasty habit of killing people in cars with terrible effectiveness.
A 3000 pound car that gets decent mileage is fine for 95% or more of the commuters on the road.
They could easily meet the standard by pretty much making all cars into hybrids. If all cars were hybrids, the manufacturing efficiencies would drive down the cost per car.
And we could get 45 mpg and let the Arabs KEEP their oil in the ground.
It was a free country.
Its none of your business how I spend my money.
My priority is the safety of my family.
If your priority is feeling good about yourself and jacking off to your imaginary earth diety. Good for you.
It was a free country and if you want to drive your kids around in paper mache car..good for you.
The good thing about this whole disaster is there will be enough spare parts and american SUVs to last another 100 years with out needing to purchase a new car.
I won't buy cars manufactured by evil socialists.
