Yea, I hate reliable vehicles too! RUBBLE RUBBLE!

More than that though, its just an expansion of government that is a bit scary. Fed Gov needs to stick to lesser things, like mandating the volume of commercials.

Every idiot on the hill will be chiming in on this.

Bart Stupak was on CNN last night, promising more hearings on the matter.

Who the fuck is Bart Stupak? Democratic Representative from the Great State of....wait for it.....Michigan.

Surprise, surprise...

Yeah, big shocker there. It's sad when a company doesn't take government assistance pays for not failing.

Obama Motors sez Toyota bad!

Seriously, Toyota brought some of this crap on themselves. Certain things such as throttle control and brakes should not be controlled by a microprocessor. When the permanent fix for a brake issue is a computer reprogram, some ting wong.

Nuttin to worry about there. The I Ties don't try to overcomplicate things. The only thing it may do is throw on some gold chains and start over applying aftershave.

Tell that to the EPA. It is difficult to meet emission standards today without the aid of electronic throttle control.

Dude, you live in So.Cal. Look at the fucking sky (if you can find it) and tell me emissions control isn't a necessary evil.

You're a crack up. You lift weights, eat 0 grams of whatever normal people eat, and drink a gallon of purified water everyday, but you're pissed at the EPA for trying to make the air you breath non-carcinogenic.

You're on track to be the healthiest cancer patient in history.

Congratulations!
