Countless past threads and it's not just me, it's others as well. Everyone has a right to their opinion but no need to shove your thoughts down others throats and expect them to believe you 100%. Take your criticism elsewhere chunt.

Ethanol isnt even big market, its a known fact that ethanol couldnt possibly sustain america, not to mention I dont even think theres an ethanol station in my town of 100k+.

for one, I am not a liberal commie. I am replying because I am tired of stupid bipartisan name calling and misinformation. two, being the liberal commie hater you seem to be, I would assume you claim to be a conservative. Wouldnt a conservative view of the free market use ethanol as an example of how the free market works itself out
?

No because the government subsidizes ethanol, the government inflates it for the sake of you tree humpers.

in any offense, its a moot point, because ethanol will never take over the industry, if anything ethanol should bring oil down by being compettive.

The lib agenda also creates higher gas prices by constantly standing on the side of some mythical GLOBAL WARMING. Your people file lawsuit after lawsuit to stop new refineries, to stop exploration, and to stop the advancement of everything and this includes the human race. Your agenda puts a tree toad ahead of a human being; your agenda wants to protect a polar bear that doesn’t need protection because its numbers are the highest they have ever been.
I see you(SuperGildo@RRP) dont have any comment for this part of my reply though.

I do, but i didnt care enough to jot it down. But anyways, I am not a lib, Ive said before. so dont call it "my people"

liberal agenda isnt perfect, I never said it was, but blaming car import issues on liberals doesnt make sense to me. Link why fords choice to not import the fiesta to the usa to a REAL consequence of liberal action.

I just dont see the reason.

sausage boy is another way of calling someone a F a g. and that's 14 day ban material there bud. Same goes with putting down someone for their race, like you did with Gil for example.

Go ahead...thread dig the ****. e-thug? how? Obviously you can't take a fuking hint that i was joking. ***, it's even right after my 'making fun of you' line for christ sake. jesus...you never learn dude....we went through this before. what? can't remember?

btw...i'm completely holding back on what i want to say in this reply.

Never too lazy to use the search and I can bring up countless newb questions from Shane back in his day. I just like to confirm things with people that have already experienced it so I'll PM them and ask... With that said, get off my d!ck, douche.

Sausage boy can mean a number of different things, and last I checked they love sausage in Oregon.

E-thug? It's easy. I never stated I knew everything about auto mechanics or that I wasn't a newb in this field, that's why I'm here, to learn. No reason to point it out over and over again when you went through the same damn **** that I'm going through. Now that you got a confidence boost and your ego is much bigger then past years you seem to think you can put other newbs down. Quit being an e-thug and if you got something personal to say to me then PM me and keep it off the threads so **** like this don't happen. Or are you too illiterate to figure that out?

If your holding something back, a PM is just a click away. Do you need help finding it?

I agree with your view on how it looks tho.
I've heard it all and like I said in previous posts I won't paint my fenders because they chip and crack and I don't have the experience nor the tools to do a legit job myself. So they will stay white for now until I can find someone that knows whats up...

If anyone in SoCal area could point me to someone I would appreciate it.

That car kinda looks like a prius or whatever those are mixed with a scion toaster. lol

Industry. The ' Cost of Industry '.

I don't blame fuel costs to ' whats made here ' and ' whats not '. Its a different argument. What I will say to keep on your asking of a ' reason '.

More and more of our industry leaves. Theres not much left.

It was said in that article, the cost to build a new plant.. It had some huge number ( more then all of us will achieve in our natural lives added-up for sure! ).

New Plants require costs in regards to Enviornmental Standards. Its similar and actually part of the reasoning why new oil rigs cannot be built or some of the older ones ' repaired '.

It makes our Nation look less friendly to invest into.
thats a valid reason, and not something I had thought about.

The EPA CLAIMS to be indy, but they are not.
http://www.epa.gov/history/org/origins/first.htm

The EPA's first ' movement ' or recognition happened in NYC when then Mayor John Lindsey closed part of the city ( Maybe Central Park? I can't remember all the details ) and had a hippy-love-fest for the environment where folk singers and such had a concert for a cause. At the same time, Congress and Nixon went about their daily routines.

Lindsey was a Liberal.
That is completely irrelevant, the EPA wasn't founded nor ran by Mayor Lindsey. The "movement" or recognition, occurred after the program was put in place.

The EPA was personally founded by Nixon (Republican) and ran by William Ruckelshaus (Republican).

You were saying something about ' learn your history '?

The EPA is a Liberal ' Dagger '. It was originally a table-scrap under Nixons watch to try and win some people over. Its now a hatchet wielding animal to our financial prosperity.
Okay, so a democrat headed the EPA in 1993.. point taken.

The EPA still began as a Republican project, and has continued to mainly be a Republican project, and today is still ran by the Republicans.

Ford's bringing the Fiesta here...just not the supurb mileage that the diesel gives because of the '07+ new standards we have here. Don't know the name of the CAFE or whatever...but yeah. Think of the AWESOME liberty that was here for like 2 years. Axed because it didn't meet the ultra low sulfar fuel requirement and the new EPA standards for diesels beginning the '07 model year. Why do we need to be so clean? What's better: ultra clean fuel hogging diesels or clean very fuel efficient diesels?

IMO...lighten up the standards on diesels. And bring that baby here[fiesta].





To all those concerned:

I was JOKING with the comment I posted about the member from Cali. Comment was followed by something like "I was just joking with that last line". Comment came because of a thread that this member made which was a duplicate that has been a current thread for the past 2 days....shoot, said thread had a reply(s) in it less than a half hour prior to new thread being made. He over-reacted to said joke/playing around. I reacted to the over-reaction.

Go look at my posts yourself, none of my posts have been removed. And not a single moderator or admin has said I did anything wrong, actually quite to the contrary, to quote a mod:
"I just looked back at all your posts in the last month and I don't see anything even remotely wrong. I don't know what to tell you."

None of the mods can over-ride Christians ban and Christian has never contacted me, nor will reply to my PMs, so my guess is as good as yours.

I, and some mods of this forum, thought the same thing... I'm banned.
