The British. Scared of cars

I have it on reliable authority that Washington drove Mustang Cobras because Challengers are for pussies.

He would probably find a cart-sprung live axle far more familiar than IRS.

They must be scared, why that silly nationwide speed limit otherwise? I'd scoff at them from the Autobahn, but the Doppler effect would render my scoffing incomprehensible.

The Confederate forces, by way of contrast, would have just marched right up to a fleet of Range Rovers and slashed their tyres. Because America is just that freedom-loving.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE DODGE CHALLENGER, YOU HATE AMERICA AND FREEDOM.

Ahem.

As [livejournal.com profile] marrog said, "special".

Hah! Across the bowling green maybe, not over fields churned up by horses.

sorry that's a cheat code from a game, Age of Empires, where you'd have hordes of medieval horsemen riding on your village to destroy it, if you typed in 'bigdaddy' you could create a rocket car that would shoot everyone dead with lasers and rockets.

I think this commercial is great.

A lot of people hate Americans because we're so full of bravado, but if you really, really, think about it, you don't hear that shit coming too much from the leadership anymore. The ignorant, uneducated masses scream it because they HAVE nothing else. The US was once a prime place to be, it lost its way and deep down, I think all American feel it even if they don't quite "get" what the wrong is. We are not innovators anymore. We don't really make anything here anymore. Our children are idiots because math and science isn't important if you are going to grow up to be a rapper, baller, or on Jersey Shore...

We have nothing anymore but pride in once was, and no idea how to get it back.

Personally, I'd go for a Sheby because they are sexy!

Bahaha :D Oh, that's hilarious. And I notice they don't put Citroens in there, driven by Lafayette, to save the day ;)
