Cars Americans Should Own -
07-14-2010, 10:14 PM
I want to break America's dependency on foreign oil, so I have created a list of Patriot wagons that have very large fuel tanks capable of storing more gasoline at once, thereby reducing the number of times you have to fuel your vehicle in a week.
My 2008 Chevy Suburban is getting old and you can bet your bottom dollar the next car I purchase will be one off this list:
Cadillac Escalade: $60,685 - $84,098
I like this one, it's got plenty of room for storing rifles in the back, and with tires like those, you can drive over the roughest of potholes and still not spill your 64 ounce cola.
It can get up to 16 miles per gallon, which I think is very reasonable, especially in our struggling Obamaconomy.
Ford F150: $22,127 - $33,685
I like the roomy backseat in this one. Plus it will help win the culture war because it was made by Ford and they didn't take any bailout money.
The F150 is a lean, mean driving machine that delivers somewhere between 18 to 21 miles to the GODly gallon.
Dodge Ram: $28,388 - $41,525
Dodge sure does know how to build a manly truck. The BFT features an extra-wide body and is perfect for navigating tricky city streets and suburban neighborhoods, and it helps prevent accidents because it discourages people from passing you.
The Dodge Ram is an American dream, whether you're puttering around town getting 14 miles to the gallon, or cruising the open highway at 20 miles per gallon.
My only concern is that it might not fit in my garage.
Mercury Mountaineer: $28,983 - $36,425
Sport Utility Vehicles are a GODly invention and every American should own one or two of them. I am seriously looking at this one as my next purchase.
Like all SUVs, this little go kart won't disappoint the American family with its fuel economy. It gets between 14 to 25 miles per gallon.
Chrysler Town and Country: $25,175 - $35,060
This baby can haul a lot of people to church at once. I had the pleasure of driving one in Kansas, and it is aptly named. They can be kind of hard to navigate around the tight corners of a fast food drive-through, but entirely worth the extra space for the daily needs of an average American family.
The gas mileage runs about 17 MPG in town and 24 on the highway.
These are the absolute best cars you can buy right now. I encourage you to buy two or three, and drive everywhere. Walking is for communists!

I heartily endorse those sentiments. Having traveled the world (and crossed into Canada once by mistake) I can tell you that the country with the best infrastructure is the country with the best economy.
No point having roads if you're not going to use them and when you have the best roads, why, it's natural to want to drive the best on them.
No point having a car that you have to squash into to an extent where the blood to your extremities stops, and who knows when you might be called upon to transport 3 chemical toilets, a dead moose or tow a woodchipper up a mountain?
Space - that's what people want - God gave space to America, God gave America large houses, large cars, large everything.
These snivelling, piss-ant foreign, so-called automobiles, 10 foot long, powerless and with their 65 mpg might be OK for 600 Million Eurofags stuck on a continent the size of Rhode Island but that is taking things to extremes - which is perhaps un-American. America demands the grunting power that only a 437 Cubic Inch piece of Detroit iron can spit out and realises that 25mpg is about as far as you can go without being seen as a homer.
If technology like that was good enough for my grandfather, it's good enough for me!

I don't mess with any of these new fangled cars built past 1970. My blown Hemi Barracuda may only get 3 miles to the gallon, but I get where I'm going so quickly it's the same as having a 40 mpg go-cart built by the slants.

This is my car
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
Proverbs 19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Ezekiel 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Proverbs 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Genesis 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Song of Solomon 1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA,
you absolute fools! These cars have APPALLING economies..
Not to mention the fact that American cars are terrible. Not to put a downer on anyone, or be mean, but.. my Swedish Saab 95 gets 30-40mpg consistently. The size of the fuel tank doesn't make nearly as much difference as economy. It's simple maths..

All we care about is how far you can go on a tank of fuel. I have consistently done over 400 miles on a tank. Fuel is so cheap and plentiful here, the cost to fill it negligible. God made it so fuel costs in the US of A are a minimal part of daily expense. What is expensive was getting the seats in my Bell Jet Ranger covered in baby lambskin. Close to 40K!! That killed my weekend business trip to Bermuda with my twin nieces, Mandi and Sandi.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Nothing wrong with new wheels, but the feeling is Godly to drive something like this through Coontown.
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

I rarely if ever drive it but I recently bought a nice 2010 Dodge Challenger. It's a very nice car and I like it but it just isn't the same as the three '70s I have. Heck I like the '71 more and it's got that goofy split grill. I tried to buy it with as much power and as few options as possible but it's almost impossible to buy a real musclecar anymore. Mine is a black SRT8 with the 5.7 hemi and a 6 speed. It gets decent mileage as if I pay attention. I have my guy doing some work to it right now to boost the 370hp to around 500hp which is where I like to play.
I have gripes about this car. First and foremost is the over optioned interior, good greif it has more buttons and dials than my other 4 Challengers combined. I don't like it.
Secondly I could only get the upholstery in black leather. I am having it reskinned in red leather as I type. The red stripe kit it came with is only on the front and I wanted them to run down the sides like my others. That is being fixed now too.
Thirdly this car is smaller than I thought. Not as wide and it's harder to abuse than my others. This car is nice for Sunday drives and long road trips. It looks more or less like this one:
God bless America, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. God bless the United States Marine Corps and all who fight for Jesus in third world cess pools.

I'm not a fan of the muscle car remakes. If I was going to get a muscle car it would be a classic.
In fact I'm in the market for an early 70's Nova SS. I had a 72 as a teenager, but beat it to death. Right now I'm stuck with the silly Nissan that my company has supplied for me

The Whitford family enjoys Lincoln vehicles (despite the fact that they are named after that RINO, Abraham Lincoln). My hindon't driver - Ranjit - drives me everywhere in our Lincoln Town Car, and my husband - Mr. Whitford - bought Pastor Zeke a Lincoln Navigator just this year for his birthday.

Beautiful car, Marshall. I'll have to meet you in Knoxville over at Dolly Partons place some weekend, then the two of us can pop over the the 'Dragon' and make a few runs on 129.

I had one of these (mine had a big picture of Jesus on the side and 726 cu in) for the odd trip to the city, shopping with Mrs Bathfire or taking the grandchildren to see their friends. I can tell you that they are much under-estimated as private transportation.
I chose it after a few fender-benders with errant motorists. You hardly feel a thing and small things just bounce off you. Smooth, comfortable and more torques that you could wave a stick at. I found it most useful for entering freeways or just turning on to the main drag; people just seemed to yield as you pulled out.
Off-road it was good too – I drove all over the “Eco-Farm” run by those hippies one night and I must say that the Mack made its own roads, even through fences.
I got rid of it a month or so back as Des Moines started charging per parking bay occupied and some little Hitler at Wal Mart took exception to my parking in the disabled bays, which was more or less the only place I could park it (and I had a sprained wrist!)
(I don't think it was too bad on fuel, although I did suspect that someone was stealing it the number of times I had to put the odd 500 gallons in it. )

I would love to own a Fury just like the one pictured here. I am sure it is the right choice for me, because there are a lot of Furys mentioned in the Bible. Even God had one and he didn't mind if you drank, when you were driving it. In fact sometimes, he even insisted on it. Isaiah 63:6
