How about this?

does anyone care about your business plan?

 

how many dealerships? just out of curiosity.

and who would buy them all? or would you just sell the cars back to the manufactuere and sell off all viable assets?

so does "most of us" include toyota employees and/or stipended graduate students? heck, maybe DH will make MORE money... more cars to maintain ya know.

 

Shouldn't your admonishment be in the relevant thread, Evan ?

Malorn gets high marks for pigheadedness, but he is not malicious, and has never stooped to personal baiting. Heck, even his contrarian stances can at most be criticized as dependable.

Give me ten Malorns any day over our house piss-ant.

 

I am sorry Eric, but he did stoop to personal baiting.

 

Then he best apologize, or end up on my shit list (nose pinched, wide berth).

 

If malorn thinks that's what all of us want, or that is what we are planning, then he's totally 100% full of it.

Malorn thinks that all of us who drive japanese cars are ignorant, but we all beg to differ.

Malorn... just because we don't like the way GM and Ford are headed right now, or have been headed, doesn't mean that the extreme of non-existence and bankruptcy is what we WANT. We want them to be competitive again, that is all.

I am so sick of your pathetic defeatism.

 

So now you're looking out for the little guy huh? You're stinking rich, by your arrogant statement to start out... and now you're GENEROUSLY looking out for the starving student by biching and moaning over GM and Ford?

Give me a break.

 

Alright. I agree with evan. This is a flamefest, so I'll post one more thing.

I disagree with malorn's implication that GM and Ford are going to go belly up simultaneously. I think that the hard times that we are currently in for the domestics are not going to kill them, but are going to hark the beginning of a significant sea change in the American automobile, and that in the long run, GM, Ford, and DCX will continue to exist and will innovate.

If my ideas of trends are right, they'll begin focusing on alternatives and clean energy, and will turn around their fortunes. At some point, they'll produce a clean vehicle that will appeal to me... Ford has almost done that already... then and only then will I probably find myself buying a domestic.

But all of this defeatism and "THE END IS NEAR" crap from malorn is NOT productive. Like I said before, it's just freaking defeatism meant to make us all feel crappy, when we should be looking forward.

 

I'm certainly not Walmart either.

My only point was your original post was:

Sarcastic or not, you come off as EXTREMELY arrogant and overly proud of your money.

 

I suggest you move on, or find a different way to express yourself than pathetic defeatism. You make it very hard for people to like you when you take that route.

 

I disagree with both the messenger and the message.

Like I said before, I believe that GM and Ford will not be killed by this, but will be transformed hopefully for the better. They are already showing signs of this transformation. That is all.

I still think that trumping your own wealth is freaking arrogant.

 

Maybe they are newly acquired, but shouldn't you use your super powers of recommendation for something more worthwhile?
