I thought you were the guy who though auto magazines conspired to destroy US car manufacturers by giving good reviews to foreign cars with good fuel economy?

Maybe I’m confusing you with an uncle from thanksgiving.

No, I'm the guy who correctly accused magazine writers of trashing American cars so that they would be more like European and Japanese autos. They were pushing for sameness instead of celebrating that which made them all unique.

How about just going back to my teenage days and using a sponge a little elbow grease a good rinse and a Chamois to dry. If you're feeling rambunctious after that break out the Turtle Wax. Whack on whack off!

Would be great if we had hard clear coats like we did back in the day.

Typical, you've mis-characterized statements but then again, you're 4.

Nope. I nailed it actually. You are crying because auto manufacturers got lazy, created crappy gas hogs that nobody wanted and you need someone to blame.

As you were boomer.

There were no clear coats back in the day. We had Lacquer paint that went thru "reflow ovens" so the paint would soften up and the the "runs" would flow out" - aong with faded/peeling paint after 5 years.....

Wrong again kiddo. I loved the cars they hated. In fact, if I read one of their reports that gave low marks, chances are my family and friends would be mighty pleased with it. And they were not gas hogs either, usually bested the foreign competition if there was any to begin with. You see back then, unlike today, when you pulled up to a light there might have been 2 or 3 cars around you that were made in Japan and Germany, that's it. The rest were American, when folks were proud to be Americans.

You've been raised in a different time kid, different schooling too and that hasn't been good. Instead of not removing the ancient landmarks, the rebellious wreck everything they touch. You like your GM auto, yet you cannot help yourself but to trash it. Instead of figuring out the designer's intent, you deride their decisions and the choices they made without any idea of the obstacles faced. And such is not limited to GM, or cars, or even the toaster. It's a poor way of thinking.

Depends on how far back ‘the day’ is.

But yeah, laquer was brutal but you could compound, wax and buff the hell out of it.

Yawn.

We’ve been over this. We get it. You’re a GM shill with a terminal case of emotional confirmation bias who incorrectly confuses your provincial nature as ‘patriotism’.

Should we also revisit the argument over whether humans had dinosaurs as pets or can we move on?

Written like a true fanboy of Karl Marx. And no, we already schooled you on the dinosaurs.

Well, there's the fantasies running around inside your head and there is reality:

wa-rock-pictographs-ontario-lake-superior2-300x228.jpg


There are drawings such as these all over the Southwestern United States. Marco Polo and other explorers wrote about dragons including and Englishmen who was put ashore in what is now Central America in the 1500s and made his way back home via the Penobscot River where he and the indians encountered what is today called a T-Rex. His account of dragons is in the Library of London or wherever they keep their archives from antiquity. Oh, why would there be the position of Royal Dragon Feeder if there were no dragons? History eludes you my friend.

Btw, the picture you posted is from Canada. Not ‘all over the southwestern United States’ and depicts a mythical lake creature, responsible for lake superiors storms (according to legend).

This is so fun...

That said, I’ll save people the painful back and forth and just post the site you’re pulling all those crazy anti science theories from:

I clean my countertops with steel wool. It’s a house not a palace after all.
