    The Pinto – it’s ugly anyway and it blows up if you hit it in the right spot.

    Perhaps the Edsel, a vanity project that never worked right.

  2. nemski says:

    Damn it UI, you stole my car. LOL.

    Obviously, its the Edsel, though the Pinto is a good choice as well.

  3. a. price says:

    They’d be an H2

  4. Unstable Isotope says:

    Heh, nemski. It just proves that I’m actually your sockpuppet.

    Speaking of Republicans, have you guys seen this? OMFG, words fail. File this under “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”

  5. Dana says:

    It would be a F-150, extended cab, four-wheel drive, with a Triton V-8. Why, because, not only do we love gas guzzlers, Republicans are the party of people who actually work for a living, rather than those who want to suck on the government teat.

  6. Dana says:

    Thanks, Mrs Isotope: the signs in the pictures you linked pretty much sum up exactly how I feel. “Let the failures fail” is spot on, and “Forced by law to pay someone else’s mortgage” is right on target, too.

  7. a. price says:

    that is a lot of inbred stupid white people. thank goodness they aren’t a cross section of America anymore.

  8. A Short Bus. One smart person driving, and a ton of sheepish retards in the back.

  9. The F-150 that working people drive?

    Oh…like Joe the Plumber. The guy that avoided paying taxes and was on Welfare…Perfect example Dana. I couldn’t agree more. It’s the perfect example.

    I like it!

  10. anon says:

    Your father’s Oldsmobile.

  11. pandora says:

    Funny, Dana, since most of the Republicans I know work for the government. But, don’t let that stop you from your brand of class warfare.

  12. X Stryker says:

    If the GOP were a car, they’d be a Corvair. Designed to appeal to people who have no idea what kind of clusterfuck they’re getting into, as well as people who don’t give a shit who gets hurt.

  13. anon says:

    It would be a F-150, extended cab, four-wheel drive, with a Triton V-8.

    Is that one of those shiny bling-bling pickup trucks parked diagonally across two spaces at the supermarket?

  14. a. price says:

    “It would be a F-150, extended cab, four-wheel drive, with a Triton V-8.”
    all to make up for a tiny tiny…………. ‘scope of ideas”

  15. throwing wet tea bags can be a funny way to protest.

    imagine your least favorite politician getting pelted with 20-30 wet tea bags from protesters.

    That would be hilarious.

  16. anon says:

    How far have we traveled? In 2009, Republicans dump tea to protest taxation with representation.

  17. a. price says:

    and productive. just hope these morons don’t figure out how a democracy really works… (psst it ISSNT violent rebellions… that is called TERRORISM….hannity)

  18. liberalgeek says:

    I like the Corvair.

    Republicans: Unsafe at any speed!

  19. Arthur Downs says:

    I would suggest the Trabant as the ideal car for the Leftists.

    I did drive a Corvair that belonged to my sister and the negative comments by Ralph Nader were so much hokum. Note that he was another shyster and not an engineer.

    There was a Soviet tale that Brezhnev showed his aged mother his extensive (western) car collection (he really had a thing for sports and luxury cars) and his mother remarked “Very nice, but what if the Bolsheviks come back?”

    Some animals are more equal than others and it is good to be king (or part of the nomenklatura).

    Just out of curiousity, what cars do the contributors drive?

    For me, it is a Z-06 and a Mercedes. Anyone have a Trabant?

  20. Arthur Downs says:

    Perhaps the Edsel, a vanity project that never worked right.

    Note that the godfather of the Edsel was a closet socialist who later micromismanaged a war by remote control and later went on to the World Bank, the brainchild of Soviet agent Harry Dexter White.

  21. anon says:

    My father bought a Corvair that burst into flames with the whole family in it. We had to bail out and get a ride home. I remember how cool it was watching the fire trucks come. It seems the engine was air-cooled by a single fan belt which failed.

  22. liberalgeek says:

    A 6 year old Civic Hybrid for me.

  23. xstryker says:

    6 year old Toyota Corolla.

  24. pandora says:

    4 year old Honda and 10 year old Mazda. (zoom, zoom!)

  25. Suzanne says:

    definitly a Gremlin – big mouth, no tail, and full of failed promises

  26. Von Cracker says:

    A Delta 88 spray painted black with fake leather seats from Juarez.

  27. cassandra_m says:

    Michael Steele will want his GOP boyz to drive these.

  28. I’d go with the Ford Tempo myself….

    Parts Made in Mexico and Canada and China, sold by Dinosaurs that don’t get what Americans need and breaking the middle class all the while blaming their failures on the Unions…

  29. edisonkitty says:

    Bradley APC. You’re driving. Oh, and you – over there – you’ve got shotgun. We’ll stay here and tell everyone how much we support you by putting ribbons on our everyday drivers.

    That’s how the GOP rolls, baby.

  30. Dana says:

    Yeah, could be, ’cause the driver is a working man and he deserves all of the space he requires. The lazy sluts on Food Stamps can walk from the far end of the lot.

  31. Dana says:

    Speaking of which, I went to the Giant Food Store on Route 443 today, and this really pretty young woman was in line ahead of me, decently dressed for a Saturday shopping, bought two carts full of groceries, seemed like a smart shopper, because she had clipped a few dozen coupons to save money, really the kind of woman to inspire thoughts for which I’d have to go to Confession — and then she pulled out a Pennsylvania Access card, what the state gives you in lieu of Food Stamps these days, to pay for the groceries.

    My prurient thoughts about her immediately changed to ones of disappointment.

  32. pandora says:

    I’ll assume that the above statement is an attempt at humor, Dana. I expected better from a poet. Care to try again?

  33. Dana says:

    Mr Downs asked:

    Just out of curiosity, what cars do the contributors drive?

    2000 Ford F-150, extended cab, 182,400 miles on it, V-6, stick shift, a little bit scratched up because it is a work truck.

  34. For Pandora:

    I saw this pretty girl in the store
    She caused my libido to roar
    My desire got cramps
    She used Food Stamps
    My libido then hit the floor

  35. pandora says:

    Not exactly what I was hoping for!

    BTW, I have a friend who was on food stamps after the sudden death of her 37 yr old husband. Food stamps for thought…

  36. R Smitty says:

    Mustang (aka Spider)

    uh…you sure about that? I thought the Spider was originally an MG, later bought up by, I believe Mazda. Of course, Mazda and Ford are in cahoots, so I have no idea if they merged the models in the current day.

    The father of an old friend of mine, back in high school, had a Spider from God knows when and he let me drive it. Dumbass. That was a good, little ride. On that note, I got to drive a Corvette a couple of years later (girlfriend – spoiled – from a rich family). How I didn’t kill myself, I have no clue. Yowza.

  37. Susan Regis Collins says:

    They drive DuPonts (obviously a vanity car) or wish they could.

  38. xstryker says:

    My prurient thoughts about her immediately changed to ones of disappointment.

    Dana – please don’t ever again notify us about circumstances which give you a boner. You are creepy.

  39. Dana says:

    Gee, a conservative male finds an attractive, well-groomed and dressed female interesting, and xstryker is upset. I guess that you would have been OK if I took the wide stance in airport restrooms, though.

  40. Dana says:

    I once had a 1978 MGB, kind of an orangish-red, black rag-top and interior, five speed. It was a cool-looking car, but it was an absolute electrical disaster; I think Lucas Electric used 18 gauge wire for everything!

    Trouble was, I really didn’t fit in it! With the top down, if I sat in my natural position, the top frame of the windshield was directly at eye-level. I could either slouch, and look through the windshield, or sit taller than normal, and look over it.

  41. Dana didn’t fit in the MG
    Six foot two he happens to be
    The car was great fun
    When it happened to run
    Which he didn’t too often see

  42. Unstable Isotope says:

    Dana, that’s really TMI.

  43. Dana says:

    What, that I didn’t fit in the MG? 🙂

  44. a. price says:

    Dana, are you really choosing this thread to make your stand about “how the right works for a living and the left is a bunch of sluts” ? just so you know, your F.O.R.D f-1345 with the hemi is THE REASON we went to war. thank you for causing thousands of young americans deaths.. see? lefties can be asinine too. (btw i am ALSO left handed go fig.)
    I really wish the Right Wing White Supremacist Movement would get some better talking points.

  45. a. price says:

    and in the case of Larry Craig, it seems that conservative males find other conservative males attractive.

  46. xstryker says:

    Dana, I don’t wanna hear about the sexual tastes of creepy old men no matter which gender they’re drooling over.

  47. Dana says:

    Mr Price: Actually, my F-150 has a V-6, not an 8. Alas! I bought it while living in flat land, and now wish that I had a four-wheel drive.

  48. Art Downs says:

    The duPont was one of the finer cars built in America but they were not around that long. They were elegant and did not survive the Great Depression. Some models may be mistaken for a Duesenburg but with the racing heritage and the DOHC engine of the SJ, the more faous products make was the more elegant.

  49. Art Downs says:

    We could get into comments re British cars,

    Q. Why do Brits drink warm beer?
    A. Lucas refrigerators.

    Lucas was not called “The Prince of Darkness’ for nothing.

    Jaguar seemed to improve on quality after Ford bought them, Now they are owned by the Indian firm Tata, I suspect that someone will make light of that name.
