    another (proposed) blow for the U.S. car enthusiasts.

    I read in the paper today that this guy believes that we should ban all car commercials because it causes people to be obsessed with cars and be motivated to buy new ones, thus causing americas problems. He compared it to cigarette commercials and he said that its necessary and blah blah blah.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    If people stopped buying cars the world's economy would be crippled.

    People obsessed with cars, what a stupid inclination. Next they'll be telling us there are whole websites dedicated to cars!

    OBSESSED is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED!

    That's kinda hard to impliment. With GM depending on them I don't see how they're going to market their Red Tag event.

    so "this guy"'s gonna singlehandedly force all of the car companies from making commercials, and the TV channels from airing them?
