Sure, muscle cars are neat, but if they are your only means of transportation, you're a douchebag.

The pussyfication started when they removed the ignition timing control from the steering column, smitty.

I dunno.. I still find many women who think me in jeans, and a tshirt stepping out of my king ranch F150 is something good to look at.

I do live in central Wisconsin however.

There are plenty of sports or faster-type cars that get good gas mileage that are daily commuters and double as weekend getaway vehicles.

Basically, this. 88 percent of women would rather date a practical professional man than some dickhead with a sports car. Ric Romero will be on the scene when his corvette limousine gets here.

Yes, it's true. I'd much rather chat with a guy driving a modern, environmentally friendly car than an overblown 12 MPG muscle car. Of course, I'm kind of a geek.

1. Get a Lexus Hybrid. (new window)
2. Tell ladies that you own a "hybrid".
3. Still own a fast car.

I'm sure that the mileage isn't all that great, but you still get the social benefits.

I guess I'm a douchebag with no chance with 88% of women.

So, how YOU all doin'?

So, in a few words, Ed believed the Romans fell over because they had become weak and effeminate, unwilling to live a tougher, manly, military lifestyle.
A study, just out, confirms that Ed was right about the Romans and the Americans.

What hell does masculinity have to do with being environmentally conscious?

Because manliness (or heck, being an adult in general) has nothing to do with personal responsibility and everything to do with having the best time and making the most noise on the quarter mile. Didn't you get the memo?

Girls like a man with a mini

I don't even own a car. Line forms on the left ladies.

/Or a house, but I usually leave that out.
//Oh wait...

The wussification of America started when wusses like Subby were allowed to gauge their manliness based on what kind of car they drive.

Subby is just mad because the arbitrary definition of an "attractive" car has moved away from his 6MPG penis-replacement.

Wait, isn't this article written in, and about people, in Australia?

It's macho to wreck the environment and pay more for gas.

THIS IS AR COOUUUNNNNNNNTRY!!!!

i find it both hilarious and depressing that people still think of Hybrids as "green". Hummers are more environmentally friendly.

"nearly nine out of 10 women (88 per cent) say they'd rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car."

Well, I bet the 1 women out of ten puts out on the first date and the other 9 just want to "chat". Fast cars=fast women and electric cars=women that need batteries.

Funny... if I were going to purchase a new fuel efficient vehicle... I wouldn't be purchasing a hybrid.

I think it shows a lot about the thought processes of average people, when they can hear one word that describes a car and swoon.

Twigz221: Wait, isn't this article written in, and about people, in Australia?

Written by Australians, written about Americans. Usually I like the Aussies, but comparing wanting good gas mileage to barbarians beating down the gates of Rome is so full of fail that the failure has its own gravitational pull.

yeah...because driving horribly inefficient vehicles seems like a sure way to keep our society alive.

Rome fell because:

too many lawyers
had sex with boys
too large to control with central government
new religion created upheaval
enemies weaponry on par with romans

choose one or make your own! (bonus points, identify the trollerific one, wait, that's pretty easy)

"According to research conducted by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, nearly nine out of 10 women (88 per cent) say they'd rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car."

They also say they find a sense of humor sexy. Don't make it true.

Agreed. However, I found this little tidbit enticing: "GIVEN all that's been going on you probably haven't had time to read the six volumes of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and compare it to the US today...So, in a few words, Ed believed the Romans fell over because they had become weak and effeminate, unwilling to live a tougher, manly, military lifestyle."

I think America is heading down this path with all this BS political correctness and associated wussiness. Gonna have to go read Gibbon's work.

the lifetime energy consumption of a Prius(that is everything from production to the garbage heap) is about the same as the lifetime energy consumption of 4 jeep wranglers. or 1.3 Hummers.

No. They'd be insisting on hybrid tanks, environmentally friendly guns and bombs that didn't hurt trees.

*sob* -why does he hate the trees? Their bark is worse than their bite, and if we gave them a chance, they'd leaf us alone. Imma rooting fer a branch of the armed forces that won't cut young trees down in their prime, hate to see good wood getting hacked and splintered by nuts having axidents on everything they saw... won't someone think of the trees, falling where no one can hear them scream?!

Aw, smitty still holds some belief that the kind of car he drives will make him a real man.

The key to being a man doesn't lie in the kind of car you can afford, you sniveling consumer whore. If you don't know that, you will never be a man. Go be a whore.

And you didn't answerer Twigz221 you just posted another bare assertion.

Political correctness = having manners.

No wonder Americans are against it.

"Women say..."

Just stop it right there. Women also say they like nice guys. Saying and doing are two different things.

/lucky for me, being an asshole doesn't actually hurt with women

az1919: "nearly nine out of 10 women (88 per cent) say they'd rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car."

Yeah. Those are the same 88% of women who say size doesn't matter.

It's funny, I never started getting lucky until I got rid of my probe and started acting like a grown up.

The only women who 'fall at your feet' according to the car you drive are not worth the price of gas to set them on fire.

DarnoKonrad: It's no accident that Nazi FOX news is also an Australian export.

Here's a tip: Fascism and the Environmental movement are not on opposite political spectrums. For example, you can be fascist and be environmentally "friendly" and you can be completely communist and pollute like hell (see China or Belarus).

In fact, on the scale between authoritarianism (which both communism and fascism tend to be) and libertarianism, I generally find the environmental movement a hell of lot closed to totalitarianism than anywhere near freedom (hence the desire to control every aspect of people's lives lest they pollute).

That being said, I just bought a 90mpg scooter, not because I'm "going green" but because gas is $4 a gallon (and my car only gets 26mpg on the highway).

X_Rated_Shennanigans: It's funny, I never started getting lucky until I got rid of my probe and started acting like a grown up.

FTFY

Okay, so let me get this straight. If everyone drives hybrids because they're more eco friendly, civilization will collapse. If no one drives hybrids and pollutes the world to death, civilization will collapse.

Guess we're farked either way, huh?

I'm sorry, but when a country produces an abomination of a movie like "Welcome to Woop Woop", I feel that they shouldn't be taken seriously. Although, the main female character was hot and I'd definitely hit it, the rest of the movie sucked ass.

Thanks, Australia, for taking 2 hours of my life that I can never get back. We can speak again when your country becomes relevant. Until then.......



STFU and GBTW.
