and this made 6 pages lol...
SAGA: This thread is starting to remind me of a certain one on another certain forum, EH?
Read my lips, can we make it another 130+ pages?? Eh?
Hmm let's see now, we've covered "tidis", politics, beer, cheese, prothe, anger management... What's next?? Ahhh women!!! That oughtta be good for 150 pages...
All kidding aside for a brief second, we so-called "mods" have no issues with threads that wander off topic a bit... all part of the joy of discussion... assuming of course that both the topic and the discussion stay respectful.:wink:As you were... !!!
I haven;t been a real big Obama fan, but I like parts of his inauguration speech.. Especially the part where he basically said the governement can't do it all, you the people have to get off your lazy a$$es and do your part too... This is an overuse of cliches but we as a people need to get off our high horses, come down a peg, suck it up, and roll up our sleeves.. Some of the painfully simple things woudl fix alot of our problems.. Painfully in that they may require some unpleasasntness, inconvieniences, and plain ole fashined "doing without" and hard work.. We keep relying (heck demanding) that the governement keeps making everything okay then we're basically asking for that dictatorship..
sadly we in the USA are a republic not a democracy. I think with the powers of the internet we could be a voting democracy, but as it stands we are just a democratic republic.

Since this thread alredy has gone way of toppic hehe. Why do the americans have so mutch truble making a car with normal handling? bladesprings on cars.... seriusly. that is a teknolegy the rest of the world moved past meny years ago. Most american cars cries for mersey when you show it a corner. Some of them lock great just standing there, but my god it feals like you`r driving a bathtub.
american cars all grew out of the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's.they were, and are, made for big open spaces where displacement is king, and the most steering you have to do at speed is changing lanes to pass.european cars(and asian cars for that matter) are built for making turns faster, and accelerating out of them better.in the twisties an import will usually do much better, and on the straight domestic cars usually do better(of course there are exceptions to both)the biggest problem I see with all cars at this point(domestic and import) is that they seem to think that HP is king, and are building these hugley powerful cars that end up being even bigger and heavier to support the power.they are missing the point that its really the HP to weight ratio that matters, not just the raw HP numbersjust look at the bugatti veyron and the lotus elise, the bugatti has 1000HP but the lotus will still spank it with a mere 200HP.
