[taterguy]

[TwilightGardener]

1. The Jeep Patriot.

[Fumesucker]

3. Ding Ding Ding.. We have a winnah!! n/t

[vadawg]

4. any toyota, mazda, subaru, jeep, dodge, audi, vw, lada, skoda

as long as you put enough decals on it....

[taterguy]

6. My car has decals honoring Route 66 and NC HWY 12

Two great American roads

[vadawg]

11. my toyota FJ has lots of mountain decals, and animal stuff my kids put on it...

oh and god knows how much after market stuff ive piled in it...

[sailor65]

16. +1 for my Patriot

it says so right across my back bumper!

[TwilightGardener]

23. Yup, I love mine.

[taterguy]

17. Did they name it the Patriot before or after they were bought by a German company?

[Orsino]

22. Yep. If the Patriot Act were a car, it'd be a Jeep Patriot. n/t

[ChiciB1]

2. UhH, Smokin' or Drinkin'?? Just Having A Little Fun, Here! n/t

[taterguy]

5. Why is original thought equated with mind-altering substances

Some of us can think outside the box without the aid of chemicals?

[ChiciB1]

12. I Honestly Mean No Harm... Forgive Me... n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. A 1973 Lincoln Continental.

[taterguy]

8. Do those still run on regular gas?

Does anyone under the age of 30 know the difference between regular and unleaded?

[Gold Metal Flake]

41. The valve seats are induction hardened.

So they do fine on unleaded. 1973 saw the introduction of a more closed combustion chamber like the pre-1972 with a higher roof so they don't suffer from detonation issues like the 1972 open chamber.

More than you wanted to know.

[Touchdown]

9. Hot Wheels! Mattel makes more cars than anyone else combined!

:D

[taterguy]

15. Are Hot Wheels made in China?

Honestly, I have no idea

[walldude]

21. Malasia

At least thats what it says on the one I am looking at. It's probably 5 or 6 years old..

[Touchdown]

40. It doesn't matter! The profits come to America!

:crazy:

[vadawg]

10. H1 Hummer in the Marine Corp...... end of discussion..

[CatholicEdHead]

13. Ideally #1 and #3, yet domestic brand small cars do not hold up well

Not the fault of the unions, just poor designs from up high.

[customerserviceguy]

20. Drove a Saturn Aura this last weekend

Wanted a mid-size car to haul my son and his wife with us while we were on vacation, so I went back to Enterprise, and swapped the Honda Civic for the Aura. It was like birth trauma getting in and out of the thing, the post between the front and rear doors is set way too far forward.

Best car of the weekend: the Toyota Camry we rented at the airport on Thanksgiving Day, when there was nothing at Enterprise at Sea-Tac. Quiet ride, comfortable, plenty of trunk room. But with airport taxes, it was too expensive to keep for the next week.

[JVS]

14. Don't matter what you drive, as long as you stick on Ol' Glory and red, white, and blue truck nuts!

[old mark]

18. My Hyundai. Made an American salesman very happy. nt

[taterguy]

19. Did he buy some Springsteen CDs with the commission?

Do people still buy CDs?

[old mark]

47. I do very occasionally - I gave some for christmas 2 years ago, found later

that no one ever played them.

[The Straight Story]

24. Ferrari-Shows that you were a success in the US!

:)

[hunter]

25. A car heading for the shredder...

... to be recycled into public transportation and non-fossil fuel power systems.

[taterguy]

28. Public transportation is only more energy efficient with high population densities

And northing's more American than getting as far away as possible from other human beings.

:toast:

[vadawg]

48. damn right, who wants to have to share their space with perfect strangers :)

especially the creepy ones, scarey ones, the dude who keeps touching himself, smelly people etc etc etc etc..

[alfredo]

26. An American designed and built bicycle with Sram components.

http://www.sram.com/

[taterguy]

27. I can only afford Bontrager components

And I'm blissfully unaware of where they're made

[alfredo]

43. I think they are out of California. Nice looking and innovative designs.

[mgc1961]

29. I recently sold my Chevrolet car...

and replaced it with a socialist GMC work truck. /snark/

[Gman2]

30. a bicycle!

[flvegan]

31. The Corvette ZR1

The true Legend Killer, built in Kentucky (engine in Michigan, I think). At 1/3 the price, can easily tell the offerings from Lamborghini and Ferrari to suck it.

It's loud, it's sexy and it's completely bonkers. :patriot:

[Blue_Tires]

45. also been in continuous production for 57 years...

and before anyone asks, YES General Motors did build a Corvette in 1983 (it was a one-off prototype, but it still counts)

[madokie]

32. You really ought to check into a new seat for that bike

just kiddin' ok

[taterguy]

50. I really don't want to know how you know what sort of seat my bike has

:scared:

[LeftyMom]

33. Patriotism is moronic.

Being born on one side of an imaginary line doesn't make you any better than being born on the other side.

[many a good man]

34. Used to be the Imperial

Or maybe the Continental:



Now its the Post-Imperial:

[cynatnite]

35. Hmm...I must not love my country according to this. n/t

[taterguy]

36. You always hurt the ones you love

[PSzymeczek]

37. Any Saturn built in

Spring Hill, TN. My '03 Ion included.

[RoadRage]

38. The thought of "I'm more patriotic then you because"

makes me wanna :puke:

If someone can afford to buy a brand new XXX car that is American made & built - great. That doesn't make them MORE patriotic then the 29 year old dad who is working his ass off to provide for his family of 5, and has to drive a 10 year old Haundia because it's all he could afford from the used car lot when his last car broke down.

Sorry.. i'm sure it wasn't the intent, but the "Who's more patriotic" thing is so right-wing Republican Conservative Palin-Loving that it makes me sick to my stomach.

[Stevenmarc]

39. The most patriotic car, the one with the most magnets of American flags that were made in China

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

42. My Chevy 4 X 4 V-8 with huge tires and American flags all over it.

:toast:

[devilgrrl]

44. 1970 Chevy Chevelle

:patriot:

[theorbiter]

46. ........

I feel like a true American in my Porsche 928!!:headbang:

[Solly Mack]

49. The best car I can afford

and by best I don't mean luxury car - I mean it meets my needs, runs well & won't break me to buy it.

[Blue-Jay]

51. A 1972 Dodge Challenger.

100% union-made, and a real asskicker. (Also, the first car I ever owned)

[taterguy]

53. As opposed to a fake asskicker?

[Blue-Jay]

54. A "fake asskicker" is a front-wheel-drive import with stickers and a bigassed wing on the back.

And one of those noise-making cans on the exhaust, and some ridiculous ground effects. You've seen 'em. They're hilarious.

I'd post about patriotic bicycles, but both of my bikes were made in Canada. (yes, I ride Giants)

[mitchum]

52. The 2010 Jingo

[Posteritatis]

55. M1A1. Duh. (insert off-key Sousa here) (nt)

[taterguy]

56. Is your carport / garage big enough for one of those?

But I guess / hope that it doesn't matter too much if it gets rained on

[vadawg]

58. best fucking communting vehicle on the planet.... screw you jersey barriers

eff you state trooper, lol gotta be my dream...

[taterguy]

63. Does an M1A1 have enough interior space for proper fucking?

[Posteritatis]

59. It will be when my ride's through with it! (nt)

[deaniac21]

57. The Toyota Prius. And I' love my country so much that if there

was a bald eagle in my office right now, I'd fuck it!

[vadawg]

60. hate the prieye(is this the plural, who the hell knows) that coast along in the left lane

and you know the son of a bitch is looking at mpg and not fucking mph, god i hate those sons of bitches, but a huge ROFL for the other part of your post...

[ThatsMyBarack]

61. As usual, I went with the majority.

I'm a sheeple! ;)

[taterguy]

62. Free your ass and your mind will follow

George Clinton said it.

I believe it.

That settles it.
