<![CDATA[Comments from Beluga]]> <![CDATA[Comments from Beluga]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Hillary = Not Exactly The Loser Here, People!]]> Why do you people support that woman as though she's some kind of feminist Christ figure? She's ridden on her husband's coattails her entire adult life. She's tolerated a philandering liar who disgraced her. She screwed up nationalized health care by being a failure as a politician and screwed up her own campaign by being a failure as a manager. Jesus, a woman president would be great--but she needs to live out her days as an assistant principal somewhere.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Meet The Women Who Will Doom Us To A McCain Presidency]]> They are not only ugly but . . . . heaven forefend--FAT!!!!!

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Is The Mustang Still Relevant?]]> It was a real cultural watershed in the 60's. It survived on echoes through the following two decades. In the 90's and 00's it latched on to empty-nesterism and the retro craze.

Now, I think it's time for the old nag to take a nap. There are enough used ones on the road to keep the knuckledraggers busy for the next couple of decades.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Nooooo! Two Sweet Pontiacs Destroyed For Sake Of Art]]> I want to smash two artists together until they are as one for the sake of art.

Probably been done already.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Screw Nuts, This Truck's Got Ovaries]]> Perhaps he's a vaginal artist. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Another Ford Fairmont Durango For Sale, Can You Resist The Foxchero?]]> Those lines are coming back into style.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Toyota Prius Global Cumulative Sales Pass One Million... Is That A Native American Crying?]]> A "green" automaker smacks of the same doublespeak as a "kid-friendly" cigarette maker.

Nevertheless, any complaint anyone linked to Ford or GM or even Honda has about the Prius amounts to sour grapes.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Is It Smart To Drive A Smart?]]> I'm the Smart Car.
I don't go very fast.
I don't go very far.
And when you drive me,
People think you're gay . . . .

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Art Car Museum Curator, Artist And Mechanic Tom Jones Killed In Car Accident]]> Why? Why? Why? Delilah?

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on F1 Teams Plan To Avoid Mosley In Monaco]]> Why avoid him? Drive over the sumbitch.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Hot Rod Citroen DS Packs A Familiar Punch]]> @diskreet: Uhhh. . . yeah, because Northern Ireland was an American colony at the time. Now I remember.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on 1976 Audi Fox Wagon: Choice Of Discerning Pit Crew Members!]]> Neat, trim, simple little car. Probably gets 30-35 MPG. Would that the world could tolerate its poetic elegance these days!

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Hot Rod Citroen DS Packs A Familiar Punch]]> I sure like that a lot better than the 2CV-powered Stingray I saw a while back . . . .

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Jerrari, When A Ferrari And A Jeep Make A Baby]]> I knew it existed, but this is the first time I've seen it. I was hoping that he had just put a Ferrari v12 in a regular Wagoneer. That would have been COOL! But this . . . .this . . . .abortion . . . . gaaak! Two nice vehicles ruined.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on How Much Risk Are You Willing To Take?]]> @chrismcdowell25:

Make sure it's SNELL M2005 compliant. Previous Snell ratings resulted in helmets that didn't absorb enough energy for motorcycle use. DOT only still is sufficient, and actually better than old Snell-rated helmets.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on How Much Risk Are You Willing To Take?]]> @Tanshanomi: I would say it's actually more like 70 percent who don't know the real risks. To the stupid innocents you have to add in those who know it's dangerous but think that some combination of extra lights, open pipes, and Aerostich Roadcrafter, a DOT/Snell helmet, reflectors, and MSF experienced riding courses will make it "safe". Motorcycling is not a substitute for taking the bus or driving a Volvo: It's a substitute for BASE jumping, white-water kayaking, civil aviation (twice as dangerous as biking, according to statistics). You go into it knowing the risks, enjoy it for as long as it's a joy to you, and after it becomes too hairy you move on to something else. If you don't survive then at least you made your decision in freedom.

People tend to think personal safety is the greatest good, and therefore anything unsafe is "evil". I don't know whether to call this cowardice or ignorance. I'll just settle for "nauseating".

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on How Much Risk Are You Willing To Take?]]> We're all going to fucking die anyway. Would you rather fade out in a nursing home a decade or two after you're of any use to anyone and have long become a half-forgotten smelly detriment? Let's make sure the wife and kids are taken care of and go and have some fun.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Tragic Death Reported At Altamont 24 Hours of LeMons Race]]> That's sad, and my condolences go out to the family.

But let's keep in mind that people die playing softball. Keep the cars rolling.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on 2010 BMW Z4 Interior]]> @UDMan:

What did Jeremy Clarkson say about BMW drivers?

Ahh yes. they all look like absolute c**ts. That was it.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Moron Drives Through High School Practice Fields]]> Ahh, it was HAARIBULL.

Cameo from Jay Leno at 00:25

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on BMW 1-Series Hatchback Spotted With Manufacturer Plates]]> That's a pretty buff-looking Kia Rio there. . .

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Oslo Traction-Avant... Or Denver SM?]]> I love that car. It represented the end of the era of great expectations--the way the Concorde did. After that everything was a Pinto or a Camry.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on DMX Busted For Doing 114 MPH In A 1966 Chevy Nova II]]> I guess we all made him lose his mind . . . .

Up in there,

Up in there . . . .

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on What Would You Convert Into A Rally Car?]]> Former-police issue Dodge Diplomat, or a Feather Duster with a transplanted 340 Wedge.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Save On Gas! Buy A Beater Subaru Brat!]]> A '99 Escort with 130K (hand me down from my Mom) is my daily driver. 38-42 MPG in relative comfort. I'm keeping an eye open for a little old station wagon of some sort (Sentra or Corolla or Mazda 323 maybe) for the wife.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Day Of The Cat: 1973 Lincolns And Mercuries Greet The Dawn Of Malaise!]]> Makes me want to shout "BOOK'EM, DAN-O!!!!"

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on '78 Civic Fits Four Shopping Bags, Will Fit In '08 Civic's Glovebox]]> We have a new Mini, a new Beetle, and now a new Fiat 500. What about a new Civic?

I mean a revival of the real Civic . . .

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Jeep Owner Clicks Bedliner Option One Too Many Times]]> @weatherman: That would have been the Ford Explorer.

Thanks for playing, Junior.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on NY Times Reveals Congressmen Have Bad Taste In Cars, No Eye For A Deal]]> @ranwhenparked:

John McCain almost t-boned my sister in a Phoenix intersection about 20 years ago. He was driving a white LeBaron convertible at the time. So I'll agree on the shitty driver part, but would also impugn his taste in cars.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Convertible Prius Aims For Economy And Style, Misses]]> Why does this thing make me gag?

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Let The Grand Theft Auto Parodies Begin]]> I'm too sensitive to even watch the vid, so I just voted "funny" without looking at it.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on 1982 Mazda 626 Luxury]]> See, it's easy to make nice little cars that get great mileage. 75 bhp? No problem! It would go 55 MPH. What more do you want?

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on CBS' Doyel Rules IRL Isn't Real Racing, Danica Is "Junior Varsity"]]> When Danica moves to NASCAR, womankind will have completed a full circle: From starring in soap operas, to success in racing, and back to starring in a soap opera.

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on Blackjack Zero, Now With Moto Guzzi Power]]> Wow, I think that's the 4-valve from the Centauro. How rare are those?

]]> <![CDATA[Beluga commented on 1974 Chevrolet Camaro]]> The REAL hot setup in '74 was the Pierre Cardin Javelin.
