Since they're going bankrupt and we're picking up the tab, I want a milling machine and a lathe, along with the tools. I'll also take a Challenger, but only if it's white. And don't hire anybody to drive it across country--I'll pick it up myself, thanks.; 9:31 AM, May 08, 2009

This will require a majority of Americans to depend on the Federal Government for their existence. These parasites will feed off the taxes collected from the producers and keep electing Democraps.; 9:53 AM, May 08, 2009

Yes, we coughed up twice the price anyone else could have paid.

But you're wrong- we don't own it.; 10:42 AM, May 08, 2009

Canthros said...: Kristopher: slow, and they'll demand at least 6 fifteen minute breaks and an hour for lunch from each 8-hour day of strenuous shambling.; 11:34 AM, May 08, 2009

We built one to test. The General Manager's wife, Mrs. Ed Cole, drove it to the grocery one day. She complained that it idled too fast. So, no Webers. That we were getting some 450 hp from a streetable 327 didn't matter.

Fast forward: I can see Mrs. Obama picking out the styling department folks, and engineering from a Green Team.

Hey, for a mere $39,876.39, delivered in West Bugtussle, Utah, you can have a Yugo.
