That was an exceptionally American post, Mr. Hahnium, but still most enjoyable.

If oil prices keep rising, though, I suspect everyone except Donald Trump will be using public transport this time next year. Can one live the American Dream on a double-decker bus? Even with a six-month TravelPass? Sometimes I wonder.
 

Don’t be a mormon, if you want it to go quick you hold it in two (2), then three (3) etc. up to whatever you’ve got. Look at the little numbers next to the “shift”. Its just like a manual box without the clutch you divvy.
A Mustang’s wasted on you Americans. Anyway you can only do 56mph before you piss your pants so what are you worried about handling for? Who do you think you are? Burt Reynolds?
 

Hey! I'm Burt Reynolds!

Burt Reynolds.
 

Nothing handles like a hire car HA. Granted, you murkans can't make the damn things right anyway, but still...
 

The toyota prion, isn't it resonsible for new varient CJD?

jef - i dinna ken ur rantin laddie! whats a byre gota do wiht it?
 

How, exactly, does a sack of crap handle? I would imagine they're all different, depending not only on whether they're manual or automatic but the quality of the sack and the species of the crap. For instance, I would expect a burlap bag full of guano to slide along fairly rapidly but wear out rather fast; while a gunny sack of prime horse puckey would be less environmentally friendly but easier on the stomach when turning.

Handling isn't everything, of course. One must also consider the penis extension angle. I am informed that the best bet for this purpose is half a ton of bullshit in a quarter-ton bag.
 

Mr. Challinor, I believe he meant "sack of crap" in the American sense, i.e. a bigger, faster, noisier and more vulgarly spectacular-looking vehicle than you or I would even consider overdrawing our bank-accounts to buy. In "the States", you can purchase that kind of thing for the price of a "Hershey bar" and then sneer at it incessantly whilst "picking up" blonde "starlets" on the "highway".

Americans are so superficial.
 

jfef - i thuoghthth it was 'cave cavy'?

odrey - by 'sack a crap' i maent just that. a sakc with crap init. as in liek stinky an mushy.

but anyhow i love teh 'bigger, faster, noisier and more vulgarly spectacular-looking vehicle' bit. dude! TOTLY! (tho it may be moare a x cromasome thign then culteral). an ur worng about hte 'superficel' bit. itd be suparfical if all i cared abuot was the 'vulgarly spectacular-looking' part. but i love em for ther fastar an noisiar souls too (an so do the stralets trus me!). ahh...! the dear litl machines! the cars i mean not the starlats.

I should hope so, too. For far too long we have allowed the meaning of "sack of crap" to be vulgarised by used-car salesmen and other buttock fetishists. It is about time this unhealthy trend was stamped out and the jackbooted octopus thrown into the melting pot for good and all. Let us revive the tongue that Shakespeare spoke. Would Jonson, Marlowe, Kyd, Webster or any of those other great non-Americans ever have used "sack of crap" to mean anything other than a sack with crap in it? Would Webster? The other Webster, I mean. The one with the dictionary, not to be confused with Johnson, not to be confused with Jonson. Anyway, it's a disgrace.
 

phil i avhe to say used car slaesman are the only butock fetashets who rely count in my book. in a class by temslelves.

but ur right man. the runign dogs of teh capetalest sheap have bean showan for teh pigs they are! er vice versa.
