No wonder it ran so good.

Belonged to a friend, he said it was a 350. But he never knew anything about a car.

Please show me where the left have politicized it?
Thought you just did.

I have a friend who thinks every V8 is a Chevy 350. Seriously.

Maybe it was a '64? That was a 330.

I'm thinking it was a '68 or '69. Drove it in '74 or '75...it was yellow if that means anything.

I look at a vehicle as a tool, takes you from A to B. I can generally fix one, but it's not my favorite thing to do.

To tell the truth, getting in my easy chair with a blanket and taking a nap is pretty much my favorite thing to do. Besides popping a cork.

If the Volt is a good value it will be proven, as it will sell regardless of what the right thinks.

Not quite.

There have been interviews with GM dealers and sales reps refusing to sell the Volt, because they are brainwashed by the GOP and the right wing media.

Here is the deal, bring your *&^%$# riceburner around and I'll get my wife in her Impala LS to blow the doors off it. She did it to a Jaguar so I guess a toy OTA (whatever that is) would be a piece of cake.
