Hate Iraq? Then sell your German car.
 

If America stopped buying German cars, how fast would they jump in on the war effort?

Is Jag made by the germans?

yea i'm a little upset with germany right now....

upsetting to say the least

Yach

Yup, you're right Lens. It's all about the bling bling from the German & French persepctive. Nothing to do with a moral position.

I heard about some ideas in congress on tariffs being imposed on French products.:thumbsup

Yeah, I'm not even kissing with my mouth open anymore!

OR people could just stop buying all that german scat porn...that would really scare them!

NO MORE FRENCH FRIES! That will teach them!

LMAO :1orglaugh

How about French Fries???

I think Jaguar is British.
A trade war doens't help either party, these people also import stuff from the US or invest here creating jobs, so some people in the US make money off them.

Not relevant. France would also be screwed if we cut off trade. But that simply won't happen. Ever....

Huh? What did I miss?

So don't buy that Viper Lensman...


;)

Brad

Lensman...theres two sides to the coin of punishing a country via trade sanctions....

What happens when German consumers stop buying American goods? Just something to think about it....

It doesnt work in the school yard when a twerp takes his ball and goes home so why should it work on the international stage?

Lol, Jaguar is ford.

Jesus some of you make me laugh

JAGUAR IS OWNED BY FORD AUTOMOBILES OF DETROIT FUCKING MICHIGAN.

I dont even follow the car industry and i know this...holy fuck...

:1orglaugh

A lot of our eggfarms and plasma as well as meds are German owned... don't forget Chrysler. :Graucho

It's actually a '78 XJ6 that I'll be restoring shortly. So it's old school. OG my nizzy. Brought over from them british fools.

But I still I get pretty pissed when I see other Canadians buying German Snow houses. Its one thing to build a good quality Canadian Snow House but its another thing to import half-assed snow-home replicas from sweatshops in Germany.

Im still amazed that an American hasnt thought about bringing them to the USA and all...what with the homeless and all....Canadian Made snow homes have eliminated homelessness in most communites where theyve been established....Nunavut...James Bay...

God bless Rick Mercer.

They were bought by Ford. They're British. Smartass.

please forgive my ignorance here, but wtf is a "snow home"..?

Speaking of Jags, one of the original 16 Jag XKSS sold at auction last week for 1.1 million.

http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/030130/11/rl85.html

Anyone willing to bet that it was bought by Lens?

"The rare 1957 Jaguar XKSS Roadster is one of only 16 originally built and with its extensive historical records is considered to be one of the most original and documented of all the XKSS cars."

Ownership changes, I meant it has been originally manufactured by the British. Now, Rover is owned by BMW, is it British or German? VW acquired Rolls Royce Motors, is RR British or German? Renault is involved with Nissan, is Nissan French or Japanese?

CHRYSLER IS GERMAN NOW!!!
SAP is german, without sap your sweet pentagon or your sweet wallstreet and all your marketleading companies are using SAP.

Fuck germany too hard and america is back in the 70`s

Greetings from the old europe :321GFY

Americans buy more American cars and Germans buy more German made products that they aren't buying from Americans.

Any more questions?

yeah, a finance guy said that if the market is down, that he shifts to the bond market. Butthen I heard just recently that gold and silver were going to be part of a good run coming up.

Have you heard anything about Gold? Or about the bond market being a good place to be? I've never dealt in bonds so where would be a good place to start? We have a few Etrade acct's I guess that would be a good place to start.

i dont own a German car :Graucho

why you bitch around?? Is it wrong if another country doesn't agree with the US??? And isn't it for the coin that the US intends to invade Irak... what do they want there??

Wasn't it Bin Laden they said they want to fuck up his butt?? Then poor Afghanistan got messed up... did they succeed.. no!!! And now.. what to tell the citizens?? Yes for sure.. just tell them now Irak is the bad boy. You US guys have totally forgotten about Bin Laden. Somehow it looks like you think only to the TV screen. What Mr. Bush says is like law. Yeah, I love it.. the freedom in the US. You're all fucked. After Twin Towers fell these agents can sit in your cupboards and watch you fucking your wifes. And all you can do now is damn some guys who are still able to think without propaganda fucked up brains.

everybody should buy only American cars...
Lens is right get rid of those German cars...
:thumbsup

speaka engrish

Time to scrap the old Peugeot 504 :1orglaugh

How about BMW? arent those German built?

Rover was sold in early 2001 to a UK-based venture capitalists group Alchemy Partners consortium so Rover is British owned again. BMW purchased RR from VW as at the end of 2002 so VW only has Bentley now. Just as a matter of interest :)

"If America stopped buying German cars, how fast would they jump in on the war effort?"

*most people don´t know, but due to tax deduction tricks almost 65% of hollywoods overall production budgets comes from germany ... amazing, isn´t it ? (note: this is sponsorship, not investing ... so it costs hollywood fuck all)

... well, that hasn´t got to do anything with german cars, but just came into my mind ...

I'm keeping my german rottie tho!

"i dont own a German car"

... next morning you go on public transport again, better check that little star sign attached to the bus !!

Yeah what chupacabra said... what the heck is a snow home?!?! Never heard of one. :)

BMW used to be Brit... British Motor something (back in the 70's anyhow) No idea now. Women aren't s'posed to follow that stuff doncha know. :1orglaugh

thumbs nose at funkmaster... OUR buses are made locally. :winkwink:

US is the biggest market in the world? Scoreboard

Gold has gone up from lows of $270 to about $360 right now in just over a year or was it 2 years ?

The car in question... didn't make it over the reserve at the auction, you can see in this pic, the bid was at 950K and it didn't make it off the block.

BMW is Bavarian Motor Works, Gem, I don't think it's ever been anything else or owned by the British.

Don´t blame germany .. George is simply one big pussy .. He has everything .. The best equipment, the best army, the best .. EVERYTHING .. Why the fuck doesn´t he just finish that Sadam-thing so the rest of the world can move on ?

Like a danish politician once said : The least u wanna do about a case - the more you are gonna talk about it !

Every day all medias in Denmark talks about war - and everytime the interest rises and every day it´s getting more and more expencive to live in MY damn house and drive in MY damn car ..

Soooo .. George .. Fuck all the pussies in the UN, stop talking and DO something !!

I guess germany after all will kiss your butt for it .. Afterall ...

gold has always been valued less than an ounce of the green, now all of a sudden it is worth much more....there is a power shift going on.

It's a talk radio world we're living in.

What have you been smoking? :)

BMW is as german as they can be for almost 90 years

And my German shepherd :)

Very smart Lensman.

First off all with all those international treaties and jointventures this will never work.

It's your previledge to buy Amarican cars but there is a reason why people buy the German ones.

By such move more people in the US will be getting unemployed than in Germany.

American cars however need more fuel. Remember that the US has only 14 years in oil reserves left on own soil.

Lens, did you get this idea from some redneck in Sacramento ? :)

BMW has never been owned by other people ... The company you refer to is BLMC (British Leyland Motor Comany) which was the company to save british car industry in the 70´s and early 80´s. They produced cars as Austin, Morris, Leyland (Later Austin) and Rover ..

Unfortunally the cars was exeptionel poor because there allways where huge problems on the factories - such as strikes sabotage etc. so it became one of the biggest fiaskos and scandals ind the history of the car .. (maybe even bigger than both John D. Deloren and the bankerupsy of Chrysler)

In the early 90´s BMW bought most of the british luxery car producers such as Rolls Royce (later sold to VW) and Bentley while Ford bought Jaguar and Aston Martin ....

Any questions ??? :glugglug

who owns Bentley ??
