    Good link HCP. But you honestly can't expect people to believe forbes over Sean Hannity, or Bill O'Rielly, or Glenn Beck, can you?


    btw, funny thing about the article? Right off it says "gas guzzling cars" like the Corvette. Ironically enough, the Corvette actually gets decent gas mileage (now, it didn't during the first 30+ years of it's life..but what American car did?). They're probably thinking of the Viper, which gets atrocious mileage.

    And the Caddies (sedans) actually get decent mileage for their size. My grandfather has a late 90's Deville, and he gets 25-28 on the highway. And it flies.

    there is more than enough blame to go around. No one political ideology is innocent from government waste or fraud.

    Just imagine how much of a bailout GM would have needed if they made their cars out of pennies and nickles.

    yes I have. I totally would do that. I think it's very creative AND a good use of $.

    I've seen floors and tables made solely out of 2x4 ends (with nice wood, not like crap 2x4s). Really looked cool.

    Mrs HCP should make a rubber quilt out of all the condoms we've left there over the years.

    Did you learn this info at one of your hipster meetings?

    I gotta shake my head at some of your takes on here. So wrong and so stupid.
