Yeh so funny, how many Japanese companies needed bail out money again? Fight a stupid comment with another stupid comment, seriously. If I had a choice between a pogo stick and a car, I would choose the car, it could even be a crappy smart car. I would even choose a scooter!

You may be saving money on gasoline by driving the Insight around, but you did have to pay for an entire second vehicle, so you are not really saving money overall.

Rick makes no sense, he won't drive a Japanese made car but he'll ride a Chinese made pogo stick to work?

I think Rick is Chinese

Its actually a 4 door Civic. Regardless of gas prices its my daily driver. The Camaro is my pleasure car on weekends and evenings when going out on dates

Drill early, Drill often.

Just think... if 20 years ago we ignored those people who said "We can't drill here. It will take 10 years to see a drop in gas prices if we start drilling more domestically." we would have been energy independent for the last 10 years!
The United States' thirst for energy is so vast I think it'd be impossible for you guys to be 100% independant on foreign oil.
Shit, you're even getting a lot of your water from us.

Check out the line for gas at a gas station near my house. I took this shot earlier today. You can see in the photo that the price is $409 a gallon. The BP gas station 2 miles away is 10 cents a gallon more. These people are sitting in their cars for half an hour waiting just to save a buck or 2. I drive by them laughing every day.

The bus is cheaper yet, $4.50 for a 24 mile round trip.
