The end of an american empire. [title of the article]

http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,...-721208,0.html

"After 80 years of market domination, Toyota could become the new #1 of the automobile industry. GM is now considered as an «hazardous» investment by specialized firms"

no no no, ambush is NOT indicative of French-Candians.

I have been there many times. Great area and great people.

He is certainly a deviation of the norm there.

ambush · Dec 15, 2005, 08:42 AM

The "French-Canadians" is not a word anymore since 1970.
We are the people of Québec, Québécois. Even the federalists agree with me here.

Anyway. I'm obsessed with GM and how ugly their car can be (and obviously the result on profits (or lack of).

PS. Medication == drug. You're supposed to be against that, remember?

**BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE**

The topic is your obsession with me isn't it? I thought that was the point you were trying to make.

Medication can be very good. Drugs are not. You should know the difference by now.

So, you are just called Canadians then? No hyphens anymore? Gotcha.

When you think GM do you think of me? How cute if you do.

wdlove · Dec 15, 2005, 09:04 AM

Microsoft might want to learn the lesson of GM. Monopoly status with decreased innovation and quality.

Kevin · Dec 15, 2005, 09:13 AM

It's just not GM or Rail, Ambush is just an all-around fanyboy.

I'm so confused...

ambush · 09:48 AM

Rednecks are like this

What's the difference between prozac and a psychedelic? Both have effects on the mind.

And no, thank god, I don't think of a fat redneck lard when I think of GM. Only ugly cars come into mind

But thanks for asking

And no you're not cute.

Yes, Good job Ambush. I see Psych 101 taught you well.

And no, I don't think of a fat redneck lard when I think of GM.

Yes, you only do that when you masturbate.

ambush · Dec 15, 2005, 09:49 AM

I actually enjoy canadian jokes. And you know why.

And sorry but I don't masturbate. I get the real thing.

pssst, you are Canadian.

ambush · Dec 15, 2005, 10:10 AM

I am legally canadian, but I don't consider myself canadian. It's symbolic. I hope you will get it sometime.

Ok here's an example. It's like when your country got its independance. They did not consider themselves british anymore. They didn't want to be under the monarchy's control. Get it now?

Kevin · Dec 15, 2005, 10:16 AM

I understand that you are an pretentious eleetist that likes to delude yourself into believing you aren't Canadian because you think it someone puts you on a higher pedastle. (Not that there is anything wrong with being Canadian.)

Ok here's an example. It's like when your country got its independance. They did not consider themselves british anymore. They didn't want to be under the monarchy's control. Get it now?

It's not the same. And your "country" isn't independant.

ambush · Dec 15, 2005, 10:17 AM

Don't worry about understanding, you know nothing about culture in Québec/Canada. Case closed.

ReggieX · Dec 15, 2005, 10:28 AM

You have no country. get over it already.

ambush · Dec 15, 2005, 10:31 AM

I'd rather have no country than have Canada as a country

Thanks.

Dark Helmet · Dec 15, 2005, 10:34 AM

Wow that is pretty brutal for GM. Not surprised though, most of there cards are just incredibly ugly. They are like the MS for cars.

I understand completely. I've heard your rants, and others like you while you were still shitting yourself in diapers.

Great let me tell you one then.

You have 3 guys standing in a room. They all have one wish and it will be granted. One is a American, and two are Canadians, one from BC and one from Québec. The American being greedy demands to goes first. She he does and he wishes for 1 million dollars and poof he has a million dollars in bills flooding around him. The Dude from Québec goes next and wishes for a 50 foot wall to suround all of Quebec. A wall so strong nothing could break it or get past it. Poof it its done. The dude from BC wishes this wall be filled to the top with water. Poof it is done. He nick names it Lake Ambush Québec

Good idea.

Nobody else would move there, except the Quebecois and other North African terrorists

sek929 · Dec 15, 2005, 12:09 PM

Toyota deserves to be #1.

GM has been slipping since 96-97 (for what, like the third time?) and really has no quality vehicles besides that of their SUV and commercial-grade trucks. Even then you would be better off buying a Tacoma than a small POS truck they produce nowadays.

Ford best pay attention to GM's woes or else they will be suffering a similar fate.
