Americans are bad!
Everybody else was having a go so I thought I'd throw in my 2c.
You win too many Tours de France, make cars that can't go round corners and think that 1,500g should be the average meal portion. Other than that you're all right :-) Plus I like Alanis Morisette - no wait - she's a canuck. Oh well potahhhhtoe, potaytoe. ps: I have my tongue in my cheek - don't take me too seriously. |

Yeah - you know the ones - straight line racers with big engines, loads of power, all the cornering ability of a bathtub on ice. I divide cars into 3 categories: Turbos and Handling from the East Luxury and Finesse from Europe Sh!t from America  |

Everything is relative - if I was in the market for a f*ck you style SUV the Hummer would be high on the list. But then the H2 is made over here (South Africa) so I guess that excludes it from the "Sh!t from America" list! Most of the upgrade tips I got for my Mitsu 3000GT VR4 came from the US - gotta love university kids with too much time and money on their hands. |

That's cause all the roads run in straight lines N-S or E-W over here.

Now that's no fun - corners are about the only place left where you can a g or 3 without having to worry about where the next speed trap is. That and go-kart racing. |

That's crazy, we invented some of the best stuff ever conceived by the human brain, like the Cheeseburger.

its a Top Gear thing.. corners can be taken at more than 20 mph, trust me....try a European car, you'll see. Chevy automatics aren't the pinnacle of human engineering.
