Dying breeds (under the Obama administration): car salesmen, democracy in South America, stability on the Korean peninsula, capitalism in America, hope, Jews in Israel ....

Yes ... for only a few thousand down, and a thousand a month (not including dealer prep, destination charges, and Obamataxupthearse), you too can drive this truly amazing roller skate (full face helmet, gloves, knee & elbow pads are optional).

It's an SUV designed by committee.

Under the wise counsel of dear leader Obama, Chrysler unveiled its new top of the line luxury sedans, capable of seating 6 (as demonstrated by a random selection of citizens who just happened to be employed by Ringling Brothers.

In response to rising medicare costs and approaching insolvency of the program, the government introduced new wheelchairs designed by the senate committee. When asked how the wheelchair costing more than 10x the current costs would help the program, the senate leader just suggested seniors get in one and hit the road.

Mr. Smith, shown in front of the vehicle in question, entered a not guilty plea, indicating he was just the adult driver observer and the 15 year old student driver was riding on his lap because of the tight quarters. Nor explanation was offered as to their lack of underwear.

Focus on the Family unveiled their entry aimed at reducing the risk of teenagers getting jiggy in the backseat of a car.

The department of transportation has come up with a clever solution to the problem of single passenger cars and limited freeway space.

The his and her models allow a couple to have separate air conditioning and radio preferences while still allowing as much personal communication as normal.
