Beatusmongous, could you maybe develop a program we could all download to translate for us when you’re not around?

I have a way with languages. Ever since I was a kid, I was the one that “translated” for the kids who only spoke broken English. I see it as a gift. Here’s what he wrote:

“Now some peeps will switch from Ford to another brand. Not Lexus, because they suck. Toyota is a lot worse. GM does not have a monopoly on Quality / Reliability / Dependability. I know a hot chick that uses a vibe. She’s not gay, either.”

hehe…yeah, hard for a guy with this name to avoid politics, eh? i should make a pseudonym just for car-based commentary and break LWA out just for special occasions when there’s a need to balance the right-leaning anti-government commentary, or when i want to pick up the green flag and wave it around a bit…

Absolutely pathetic. These are dangerous vehicles to own. You park your car in the garage, and overnight it catches on fire, burning down your house. Of course Ford, same like GM and Chrysler will look for the absolute cheapest suppliers to have parts manufactured that just barely meet standards and will work only during the cars warranty period. afterwards your stuck with junk that will be a constant headache. This is what happens with companies that have faced bankruptsy or were very close going bankrupt. They go cheap on everything, so if you buy a domestic car these days, your just asking for trouble in the future.

I also forgot “need more oil for GM jackass”

By: 2WheeledSpeed

I definitely second that A4, PLEASE make the “No more oil for…” people go away…

By: A4

A4 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:14:11 +0000

johnny- I think the moderators just need to step it up on anyone whos name has the words “more oil” in it.

and that includes:
need more oil for volkswagen
need more oil for imports
need more oil for G.M.
need more oil for GM
need more oil for toyota
no more oil for GM
no more oil for toyota…

it looks pretty rediculous when you can see just how many of these idiots think theyre funny at this point, doesnt it?

I found it very interesting how the Ford spokesman made a point of mentioning that the part is made by Texas Instruments. It’s all about PR.

I hear you, but for better or for worse it is what makes Leftlane… well, Leftlane. Sometimes the digressions- and you have led the way when it comes to the political kind- are not only heated but surprisingly well argued on both sides. That would be the good. But when it gets down to the grade school crap… in football I think they call it garbage time… nobody wins. I’ll say again it is better than it used to be but at the risk of being trampled under the free speech parade, just maybe it’s time for the moderators to step it up a notch.

Um jacka$$, the Vibe is a Toyota. A shameful, pitiful product that GM should never have aded to it’s portfolio. It brings down the Generals stellar quality reputation.

yeah, johnny, i should’ve passed on commenting at LLN yesterday…wading through all the trash we’re inundated with here now just angers me…there are car sites where folks can discuss cars without every single thread degrading into brand-loyal diatribes and political wrestling…but not this one…it’s become very predictable…

NMOFGM says this right after a story about a GM recall of pontiac vibes…lol…

“Not a single problem”

Ford’s looking more and more like the imports every day. Problems, problems, problems.

Shoulda bought a GM. Many hundreds of thousands of miles and not a single problem, that’s world class. That’s General Motors.

Quality? Reliability? Dependibility? Only in a GM. Nothing else comes close.\

Be American. buy American. Buy GM. An American Revolution

Sorry, Borat did you want to drop the N-bomb again?
Or were you somehow indirectly asking me for grammar lesson?
Neither?
Than shut the **** up.

I know a really hot woman who drives a Passat. She is far from gay.

I also knew a really hot woman that drove an Elantra, and I dated her a few times. She was also far from gay.

I drive a Nissan Quest. I used to drive a PT Cruiser before that, and my mother-in-law owns a different PT Cruiser that I drive every now and then. Sometimes I drive my sister’s Kia Spectra.

What’s my point? Your car does not define you. I don’t believe that people should be pigeonholed by their cars. Sure, it does show what you like and what you don’t like, but the cars I like I simply cannot afford. I want an Audi R8 probably more than any other car, but it’s out of my reach. My budget for myself is around $16,000. A Ford Focus might be what I get, or a Smart ForTwo, or even a Nissan Cube (what can I say, the interior is actually pretty cool). I am not ashamed of what I drive, and what I like at all, and it does not define how I am with the ladies (I’m married, so only my wife matters, but women still give me their numbers). I am a man, I like women, and I love my wife. You are only defined by how you act, not what you drive.

Now, you ladies can continue the cat fight, but the only thing it will do is annoy others. Let’s save the flames for the likes of NMOFGM (both of them) and 1115.

ahahahahahahahhaahh that’s why you are the one driving the ELANTRA!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
You only wish you could afford the passat!!! the saturn is a real sh!t pile! The focus is a great little car! You are not the one to talk about a quality car…or even “luxury”….you drive a elantra!!!!! I bet you go to every red light expecting to race someone in that pile of crap on 4 wheels! Do you have a fart can on that? fake turbo whistle on it too???
“WV are not at all prestige or even close to luxury cars”…words from a real dumb ass… all this sh!t coming from a loud mouth who drives an elantra…..LMFAO…who would have ever thought!?!?!? I never even mentioned vw being luxurious or even having “prestige”…idiot!

And also, if vw is the equivalent of chevy, and chevy is above hyundai, what exactly does that make you? A brainless idiot, who is probably still in high school, or even…middle school…who can only aford a gay elantra!
It’s really ok though…I don’t know you in real life, so I don’t give a sh!t what you drive:)…thank god!

You’re more than welcome to reply back…but just think of this before you type….YOU DRIVE A FnCKIN ELANTRA!!! WHAT A LOSER!!!

Ok so Elantra-Tourings are gay according to you? Well what the hell are passats??? Who buys those is the real question? In Europe I understand. but in N/A they are over priced crap, for the same price range you could have got something alot better if you werent a MORON. Ford Focus whatever, what can I say it a econobox thats priced accordingly at leat. As for your Saturn Aura, the car is descent but by the time they brought it over Opel was readying its Insignia (was to be replacement for Aura).

The comment that ppl can not afford BMW ok, you got a point! However WV are not at all prestige or even close to luxury cars, They are the european equivalent to Chevrolet, so I think anyone can buy a VW, but only reatrds choose to do so.

Get a life, and its true most gay ppl tend to drive VW and Audi,

I would like to own a VW/Audi, but I don’t feel like repairing my electrical every other month due to another faulty part.

no, actually, we currently own a 2007 saturn aura xr, 2008 passat, and a 2009 Focus…no windstar will ever set foot/tire on our driveway! I never even said something bad about ford, so wtf are talking about, “The new Ford products are good cars, however the 90s to mid 2000s are just crap! If you cant face that, you are a pu$$y!”???
Gay people like bmw & vw…haha…spoken well by people who probably can’t even afford either one of them!!

all the new noobs on this forum are tearing this place down…LLN is not what it used to be…probably because the moderators, if any, COMPLETELY SUCK ASS!!

a recall of 4.5 million…… maybe….. only 700,000 of them will show up at the dealership shops to get them fixed and the rest of them are already at the junk yards getting crushed due to cash-for-clunkers program!!!!
Go Ford…. that would save tons of money for Ford!!! Sorry for Toyota….. still gonna have to PAY for every single 3.8 million cars/trucks in their recalls!! HAHAHAHA

sorry to offend you there, you drive a quality automobile such as a Windstar of Explorer?
What exactly makes the Elantra-Touring a gay car may I ask? What is it that you may be driving?

The new Ford products are good cars, however the 90s to mid 2000s are just crap! If you cant face that, you are a pu$$y!
