More mass media preaching

You’d think something like a list of The 50 Worst Cars of All Time would be exempt from the social engineers. Nope, they will still try to make you feel bad about being an American.

For example, the Ford Model T is listed. What’s wrong with it? Oh nothing actually. Its just that this is the car that made people want to own cars and drive. And that’s EEEVIL of course…

Well, that’s just the problem, isn’t it? The Model T whose mass production technique was the work of engineer William C. Klann, who had visited a slaughterhouse’s “disassembly line” conferred to Americans the notion of automobility as something akin to natural law, a right endowed by our Creator.

Yeah, I really hate people like the one who wrote this. He can go shove a Model T up his… orifice for all I care.

And another one of the “worst cars” was the very successful Ford Explorer.

How could the best-selling passenger vehicle in America 14 years running, the mother of all mom-mobiles, the beloved suburban schlepper of millions, wind up on this list? Forget about the whole Firestone tire controversy. In its very success, the Ford Explorer is responsible for setting this country on the spiral of vehicular obesity that we are still contending with today. People, particularly women drivers, discovered that they liked sitting up high. Even though more fuel-efficient minivans do the kid- and cargo-hauling duties better, people came to prefer the outdoorsy, go-anywhere image of SUVs. In other words, people became addicted to the pose. And, as vehicles got bigger and heavier, buyers sought out even bigger vehicles to make themselves feel safe. Helloooo Hummer. All of that we can lay at the overachieving feet of the Explorer.

Man, this author must not ever have to even shower, for someone so sanctimonious surely can never get dirty. Damn socialists….
