WTF were you expecting? A guy in front of a webcam talking about fuel economy? Graph should begin at 0,0.

The amount of respect I have for you is now equivalent to the amount of respect I have for monchie.

It is a satire of a street race video. The point is mirth. However, I guess the only thing that people find funny around here are stupid, tired, old image macros.

I've noticed "Ye olde" macros/memes are quite the rage around here as well.

it's just that the title of your thread, matched with the video made no sense. Even the title of the video was kinda misleading...
I don't have my "funny hat" on, but you could have named it "Save gas? I'll pass" for a better result

I think you're right, I admit it was a fail. However, I don't appreciate the clique here flaming me for trying to post something original when they clearly didn't get it. Especially sad that they think they are clever for reposting memes and cliches that originated on 4chan or somethingawful circa 2004.

Reminds me of going to Russia a few years ago and meeting people who thought they were hip because they had heard of Nirvana.

Meh. Let them flame. Unlike 95(ish)% of people in the club, you've actually given some good advice. Or, at least made it sound like you knew what you're talking about...
