GM has always manufactured enpensive junker clunkers. So they paid big bucks for the Wall Street weenies to write an ad. And you see the result. Wonder how many sales the ad produced.

Some of us still believe in personal freedom.
BTW...I wonder how many wood stoves there are in Minnesota?

You know rw, you and I need our own website just for our flame wars.
You know I love you pal. Never change. At least you generally know what the eff you're talking about, your massive ego and Sram shillery aside.

If I tell rw I recently bought Prius and Lexus hybrids, I'll never hear the end of it. At least I took the Obama bumper sticker off the Prius (it comes with those from the factory of course).

I think it's the "arsehole" factor that makes many cyclist despise diesels, since often diesel drivers will floor the pedal to belch smoke in the face of cyclists.

I don't think cyclists attract women. The helmets, lycra diapers and stupid shoes we wear make us look like total dorks. Nice cars probably attract more guys than women who can actually carry on a conversation. Generally I find that women look for things like: nicely toned men in a uniform/suit, good manners, a sense of humor and decent oral hygiene. 
One thing a bike does is provide some cardiovascular support and lower body tone. Competitive cyclist (not sprinters) have lousy-looking upper body definition reminiscent of Icahbod Crane.

Me too, I was going down a hill and these girls pulled up next to me smiling. It just depends on the girl/woman.

Modern diesel engines in automotive applications has sophisticated emission systems to help control the exhaust.
Diesel is noxious, horrible stuff.

I'd like to see the data on this statement. The gov't has tightened regulations on diesel exhaust every year for the last several years since diesel exhaust has been proven so harmful. It's hydrocarbon fuel, just as gasoline is and produces some of the same pollutants gas engines do, along with the particulates that ge lodged in the lungs.

I'm almost 54, I think I'm too old for that now.

I had a car full of girls next to me at a stop light giggling at me a while back. I figured they were laughing at the spandex, and then one of them says 'you have a great ass...' then the light turned green and they took off, leaving me to wonder how they knew I had a donkey...
