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.
Comment by nemski on 28 February 2009 at 10:30 am:
Damn it UI, you stole my car. LOL.
Obviously, its the Edsel, though the Pinto is a good choice as well.

They’d be an H2
Comment by Unstable Isotope on 28 February 2009 at 10:39 am:
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.”
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 10:45 am:
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.
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 10:50 am:
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.
Comment by a. price on 28 February 2009 at 11:03 am:
that is a lot of inbred stupid white people. thank goodness they aren’t a cross section of America anymore.
Comment by Brian Shields on 28 February 2009 at 11:14 am:
A Short Bus. One smart person driving, and a ton of sheepish retards in the back.
Comment by Donhusseinsquishviti on 28 February 2009 at 11:16 am:
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!

Your father’s Oldsmobile.
Comment by pandora on 28 February 2009 at 11:23 am:
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.
Comment by X Stryker on 28 February 2009 at 11:24 am:
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.

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

all to make up for a tiny tiny…………. ’scope of ideas”
Comment by Brian Shields on 28 February 2009 at 11:56 am:
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.
Comment by anon on 28 February 2009 at 11:59 am:
How far have we traveled? In 2009, Republicans dump tea to protest taxation with representation.
Comment by a. price on 28 February 2009 at 11:59 am:
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)
Comment by liberalgeek on 28 February 2009 at 12:40 pm:
I like the Corvair.
Republicans: Unsafe at any speed!
Comment by Arthur Downs on 28 February 2009 at 1:02 pm:
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?
Comment by Arthur Downs on 28 February 2009 at 1:05 pm:
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.
Comment by anon on 28 February 2009 at 1:06 pm:
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.

Here you go.
Comment by liberalgeek on 28 February 2009 at 1:19 pm:
A 6 year old Civic Hybrid for me.
Comment by xstryker on 28 February 2009 at 1:49 pm:
6 year old Toyota Corolla.
Comment by pandora on 28 February 2009 at 1:51 pm:
4 year old Honda and 10 year old Mazda. (zoom, zoom!)
Comment by Suzanne on 28 February 2009 at 1:52 pm:
definitly a Gremlin – big mouth, no tail, and full of failed promises
Comment by Von Cracker on 28 February 2009 at 2:10 pm:
A Delta 88 spray painted black with fake leather seats from Juarez.
Comment by cassandra_m on 28 February 2009 at 2:46 pm:
Michael Steele will want his GOP boyz to drive these.
Comment by Donhusseinsquishviti on 28 February 2009 at 2:51 pm:
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…
Comment by edisonkitty on 28 February 2009 at 3:00 pm:
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.
Comment by pandora on 28 February 2009 at 3:28 pm:
LOL, EK!

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.
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 4:32 pm:
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.
Comment by pandora on 28 February 2009 at 4:33 pm:
I’ll assume that the above statement is an attempt at humor, Dana. I expected better from a poet. Care to try again?
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 4:37 pm:
Mr Downs asked:
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.
Comment by The Limerick Avenger on 28 February 2009 at 4:52 pm:
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
Comment by pandora on 28 February 2009 at 4:58 pm:
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…
Comment by R Smitty on 28 February 2009 at 5:16 pm:
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.
Comment by Susan Regis Collins on 28 February 2009 at 5:40 pm:
They drive DuPonts (obviously a vanity car) or wish they could.
Comment by xstryker on 28 February 2009 at 7:03 pm:
Dana – please don’t ever again notify us about circumstances which give you a boner. You are creepy.
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 7:17 pm:
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.
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 7:21 pm:
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.
Comment by The Limerick Avenger on 28 February 2009 at 7:24 pm:
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
Comment by Unstable Isotope on 28 February 2009 at 7:28 pm:
Dana, that’s really TMI.
Comment by Dana on 28 February 2009 at 8:32 pm:
What, that I didn’t fit in the MG?
Comment by a. price on 28 February 2009 at 9:13 pm:
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.
Comment by a. price on 28 February 2009 at 9:13 pm:
and in the case of Larry Craig, it seems that conservative males find other conservative males attractive.
Comment by xstryker on 28 February 2009 at 9:15 pm:
Dana, I don’t wanna hear about the sexual tastes of creepy old men no matter which gender they’re drooling over.
Comment by Dana on 1 March 2009 at 9:13 am:
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.
Comment by Art Downs on 1 March 2009 at 1:03 pm:
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.
Comment by Art Downs on 1 March 2009 at 1:06 pm:
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.
