Drinking Caps On: Tonight We're Drinking A Mug Of CAFE

Our senior editor from Detroit's been called into service yet again to have a pundigasm on air on CNBC's On The Money. Tonight he'll be helping answer the question: "Will congress mandating fuel economy standards kill Detroit?" While he figures out how in the name of Exxon he'll answer that by 7:00 PM EST tonight, you can help by coming up with some new rules. As always, if you're confused as to what's going on — take a run through our Official Car Pundit Drinking Game tag. Trust us, it'll all become as clear as a thrice-used beer mug.

If Wert says, "Well, maybe they shouldn't have taken the easy way out and built all those damn SUVs, this wouldn't even be an issue," sip your Shiraz in a superior way.

Shiraz? Come on now, you're readers have a little more cooth than that. At least upgrade them to a decent Chianti.

Chug down some Natty Boh if Ray mentions SUV Owners of America.

Oh yeah, and if Micheline Maynard is on again, don't let her get away with "Detroit doesn't make cars that people want."

Any mention of Al Gore gets a shot.

Whether or not the US auto industry survives not being a very interesting subject, I'll probably be sucking back a G n' T, watching Jeopardy with the sound off, captions on, and playing electric guitar.

Hell, it's summer ain't it?

Shit, autoblog just said that BMW might start selling MINIs as rebadged BMWs to sell enough small cars to meet the euro-CAFE standards. It looks like the whole damn world is going to hell.

Time to go buy my anarchy/survival/nomad machine.

Damn! I don't have a good red.

Ray, are you doing this from NYC? Looks like Manhattan in the sat feed back drop.

@jonnylieberman: How about if he says that the American people shouldn't have bought all those damn SUV's, how about that.

Ray, thank you for asking the market question. I only wished you got challenge his response that acknowledged market forces but said that CAFE regulation is the 'best' way.
