but thats a corperate fleet average not every car.... so make some lil aveos n stuff
I think dodge and the hemi will be hurt the most but its just a proposal!!!

Mike Jones 04-11-2007 01:42 AM

Personally I don't think is all to blame for this. Don't get me wrong, he made the final choice so it is his fault but he get's ragged on all the time for his oil intrests so I think this is his way of trying to disprove it.
Just my .02 - I still think it's gay and I still think we haven't had a good president in many, many years.

i think its the governments fears of the new 900 hp 09 vette i heard about :cheeky:

paarman97maro 04-11-2007 02:14 AM

seriously, DIAF. He does manage to keep doing things to make me hate him.

war in iraq, raising gas prices, and now cutting rwd vehicles... what a fuggin homo. Hopefully he gets hit by a bus.

NoRiceInside 04-11-2007 02:15 AM

k whats DIAF and how the hell is he raising gas prices? only thing bush or any form of government has over gas prices is the tax. which is, what? 7 cents per gallon?

NoRiceInside 04-11-2007 02:19 AM

wow i just did some quick math...

if the federal tax was 7 center per gallon, i estimated based on my fueling rates. i put about 15 gallons a week, at 52 weeks per year at 7 center per gallon, thats 54.6 dollars a year. there are 200 million americans.

so the estimated income from fuel tax is over 10 billion dollars per year.


a lot of americans commute and not all americans drive, but this is just a quick figure. they cant ***** about money problems anymore.

paarman97maro 04-11-2007 02:23 AM

Were not gonna get into all the reasons gas prices have been raised, but yes the general republican has been ******* it up ever since they got into office with all the gay bills, and his seeking oil on the middle east. Wasnt it just such a coincidence that once the democrats got into office last year gas dropped down under $2, the first time in 4 years?

Not to mention, the oil companies have been making enough for themselves. Its ******* bull-****, I hate paying out the ***.

DIAF = Die In A Fire.

Bernotas05 04-11-2007 06:56 AM

That is stupid. Thats all I have to say about it.

mxracerbrian 04-11-2007 09:01 AM

bummer....

now dont turn this thread into a pro/anti bush campain. nobody cares

FamousZ 04-11-2007 10:59 AM

dumb..

BlueZee28 04-11-2007 11:31 AM

So does this only affect future NEW models, or will this be the end of the long-lived Corvette?


I don't necessarily agree with everything that Bush does, but for the most part I trust that he would use his best judgement. And what people don't realize with the war in Iraq is that if we pull out now, or if we had never went in to begin with, the Shiites and their opposing group will start a civil war that will not only occur within the borders of Iraq. It would flood much of the middle east, and THAT's where we'd have a major issue. Oil would be literally impossible to reach if this happened.

But back to the topic, I think this is a stupid idea. I'm glad there are still plenty of 1st-4th gens available on the market, because I have a feeling I won't be buying a new one anytime soon.

SOMBirdV6 04-11-2007 11:48 AM

I doubt it will end the Corvette, The z06 today already gets much better MPG then you would expect from an engine that size.
