Oh, the entire board is populated by extremist left wing pinkos and UG is the sole voice of reason and sanity. :rolleyes:

UG? Who's he? :confused:

Urbane Guerilla - you know - the voice of reason.

Not the entire board, Sam... I am not the stupid fellow your stereotyped thinking requires, but something altogether more challenging to your regrettable prejudices, which are likely to come out in any philosophical wrangle. The short way to say it is that I can't be as stupid as you need me to be -- you'll have to settle instead for something real and thoughtful. Admittedly, I'm unlikely to always be considerate; it's a flaw.

Nor am I to cast myself as the sole voice of reason and sanity. However, being possessed of both faculties -- perhaps to your disappointment, perhaps not -- I do voice them. "Come, my songs, let us speak of perfection -- We shall get ourselves rather disliked."

Are people still drivin these things?

this is why i stay out of the politics forum. the sexual tension between UG and tw is freaking me out.

Come over here, Jim, and let me put my finger in your ear.:condom:

Urbane, has anything you've said here got anything whatsoever to do with the situation under discussion? Or is it just a random attack on your arch enemy for the appalling crime of not spelliing something correctly? Maybe even an excuse to engage in a little more self-mythologising?

I was finding this thread surprisingly interesting. I don't normally find anything about cars interesting.

This morning I heard that Toyota apparently knew about the braking issue with the Prius, fixed the problem for the newer cars, but never told anyone about the issues on those cars already sold - nice, real nice.

I think this goes on with all car companies, but now that the spotlight is on Toyota, they will be getting hammered for a while until the media's attention shifts elsewhere. We're going to be seeing more similar stories about Toyota for a while.

Already happening, Glatt. There was a report on NPR earlier in the week that they are now looking into a number of reports of problems with brakes.

On a lighter note... VW says they won't be running any sales to take advantage of Toyota's problems, and the companies that are running promotions, are predatory. :rolleyes:

VW, huh? Let's turn the spotlight on THEM now.
