Toyota UA-LAC

[brian hoeft]

what we need here is further expansion of federal US control and diminished
individual responsibility. lets petition congress for another agency. theres
already 30 plus czars unlawfully interfering, whats one more.. oh wait, we
already have a car czar.

pardon my cynical rant, but the sensationalized media blasting of particular
topics and willful disregard of what really matters gets me quite surly.

im also not particularly fond of the lack of mechanical interfacing on new
and upcoming automobiles. theory and calculations are one thing, practical
application is another. i personally support properly installed/maintained
mechanical devices and am pleased to have cars & principles that are
in-congruent with certain political agendas like a GPS based tax initiative
and other BS that these headlines are prompting the sheople to accept and
worse, request.
