Edit - Ack, you changed your post after my post went through (my connection froze). I won't add anything more to the discussion, but I will say that the facts are quite simple to check on. Anyone interested in this discussion can easily verify if any of the facts I stated are correct or incorrect.
Where Rich, the National Enquirer? Star? Right next to the "I was abducted by an alien" story?

There. NOW I had the last word.

I was simply puttinng to rest the notion that Americans are lazy, that is till you came into it.:p

As for what transpired above, I apologize if my post had any part in the above ranting.

It's real simple. If you really want to go Zoom Zoom then get the manual. You will notice the lack of almost 40 horseys everytime you try to go Zoom with your Air on. I almost got an auto myself, but this group changed my mind pronto and I am thankful

Now should we move on to a new vanity license plate thread? I am stuck on a few plate names like GR8RX8 B12ZOOM or IBZOOMN.

Excuse me, who started it?!? You took an assertion that Americans are lazy - tenuous, I'll grant you - and used it as an excuse for a bunch of parochial flagwaving. Rich was merely responding to your "rah-rah" tirade.

July 4th is coming soon - save it for your buddies at the VFW.

Ouch, darn. Hit me just as I got off my soap box.
I'm not a vet, nor am I any more patriotic than the next. I got it off my chest and was through with it. Sorry to have offended.

Manual for 2004. If they fix the lost power & keep the paddle shifters for 2005, maybe then I would test drive an automatic (might be just like Juan Pablo Montoya in his F1 car).

Uhhh.... Is this what you would call thread creep? I'd say talk of American world domination, as intriguing as it might be, belongs in the Lounge. Have a great Yankee day!

Another cheap shot. Sleep it off, then go & take a reading comprehension course.

This has now degenerated into petty personal bickering, closing...
