    Does The Government Really Care How Much Gas We Burn?

    All cash for clunkers did is take perfectly good cars out of the used car pool causing prices to rise. It also paid people who were in the market for a new car anyway . It was a huge waste of taxpayers money.

    Does The Government Really Care How Much Gas We Burn?

    How about just not stealing the money from the people who earned it in the first place. The government should not be paying anyone anything.

    Space In The Hood

    My current car has a 1l 3cyl turbo charged engine. It is actually 999cc. It makes 125hp and 148 ft-lbs of torque. The engine is about the size of a piece of paper.

    Hat Thread.

    Sorry, but I hate hats, I had to wear one for over 20 years in the Coast Guard and that was enough for me.

    Are You A Lefty?

    I typed and sent many messages on the Model 40 teletype with a punch tape. Then we had to save the tapes if we needed to resend it later. Not as bad as the Silent 700 with the 2 cassette tapes used to record and send msgs.

    Are You A Lefty?

    I guess no one told Jimi Hendrix. He played his Fender Stratocaster upside down and restrung backwards so he could play left-handed.

    Are You A Lefty?

    Most left handed people are very good at using their right hands just because we have to. I once set up a computer that had only a spot on the left side for the mouse. All the people in my electronics shop complained and could not use a mouse with their left hand. I told them welcome to my...

    Factory Pick Up

    What if they don't deliver in the first year because the only marshalling center is at the factory. There would be no delivery charge.

    Made In America

    Apple is paying the taxes they owe. They made a deal with Ireland to pay a certain amount which they paid. Which is no different than states make to entice companies to move to their state. Ireland saw a company that would employ 4,000 or more workers. As far as shareholders go they get what...

    Made In America

    That is a pretty broad statement. Which corporations? You mean like the oil companies? They make less off their gas than the government does per gallon.

    Made In America

    You are wrong, all it takes is one company who makes a product to lower it's price and the others will follow suit. Why then does the price of gas go down when the cost of a barrel of oil go down? In your scenario the cost would remain high no matter what. It would not take long for a company...

    Made In America

    We don't want a democracy, mob rule does not work. I agree on decreasing taxes on corporations and business in general because all that does is raise the cost to the consumer. There is no company who will eat the cost of a tax without passing it on. If you lower the tax you would lower the cost...

    Made In America

    Not if people stopped buying their small cars because the labor cost made them too expensive. If other car companies make a similar car at a lower price most people would buy the lower cost car. We are talking compact cars not luxury ones where people are very price conscious. An extra $1000 on...

    Made In America

    Their tiny little office employs about 4,000 people, and why would a company want to pay more taxes? Why should they pay double taxes on money earned outside our country? Would you like to earn money in more than one state but have to pay taxes in each state on your total earnings? Or would you...

    Scared About The Automatic Transmission

    Riding the clutch does not lead to a long life, I wonder how long the clutch will last in a hilly area.

    Scared About The Automatic Transmission

    You would not have to with a normal automatic, where I live now people hardly leave any space behind you at a light. I think it is because most people have never driven a manual.
