And, lest we forget, Coke is clearly superior to Pepsi.

Can you really consider Dodge an American company anymore, though? After all, it's Daimler-Chrysler, and not vice versa.

What difference does it make? How is my truck less 'American' than a truck made in Michigan, New Jersey, or even (gasp) Mexico?

My point was, that while Foreign Automakers seem to have figured out what Americans want in a car, they have not done so with Full-Size trucks. In fact, the only Foreign Full-Size truck I can think of is the Toyota Tundra.
I don't think it's necessarily that they haven't figured it out, but rather that most of them realize that they can never give that market what they want in a Full-size truck (namely a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge nameplate), since their reasons go beyond the bounds of rationality usually. Do you honestly think the Calvin-urinating-on-other-manufacturers'-emblems crowd is going to buy a Japanese Full-size truck?
quote:
If I were to purchase a car or light-duty truck, it would definately be foreign.
The ironic thing is that the ones that most people consider 'foreign' usually aren't and the ones they consider 'American' usually aren't.

Once again, I go for the underdog! PEPSI is the best! Tastes great, looks great, IS great.

Why do you people always support the Microsoft of products?!?! Even soda!

Macintosh! Pepsi!

(Quote above from "PalmPilot The Ultimate Guide" by David Pogue.)


That's great. The hard thing for palm in OS 5 is exactly that. They've gotta satisfy us power users, yet meet the simplicity and ease of use for common users. Information Management is FIRST in a PDA, and that's what Palm accomplishes that PPC doesnt. PPC is focused on multimedia and NEW features, but it cant even handle what it's made to do, be a PIM. Let's hope for the best of both worlds! But, if anything, keep information management!

If it works, there's no need to replace it.

However, I always believe in the newest and best technology avaliable!

And it goes without saying that briefs are obviously better in every way to boxers.

Long live whitey-tighties! Down with the Boxer rebellion!

LOL! boxers are the best! But I have to admit, those whitey-tighties are good for sports, better than free balling! Go Boxers!

Mary Ann, duuh.
Ginger was stuck-up. Mary Ann was sweet, and easier on the eyes. (and she *still* is, which I think is really cool. There's some GI special on one of the networks next week which I saw a print ad for today.)

No contest. Mary-Anne hands down. She's was like a whole strawberry shortcake; Ginger was just whipped topping; all fluff and no substance. [homer]mmmm.. shorrtcaakkee.. [/homer]

I'm afraid to know what any of you are talking about.

Don't ask, don't tell. That's the ARMY way!
