Ah, I thought it was about being ill informed because the examples in that video are exactly that.
Add to that, that alot of the poor changes in American cars is mostly due to auto magazines and their poor opinion of anything that does the job without frills, vehicles that are labeled "death traps" tend to have great crash test ratings but what the auto magazines like are the vehicles that are "fun" and have 40 cup holders.

I like how the "announcer" gets the name wrong at first, calls it a "...GTxi SS/R1".

What a novel idea: political commentary thinly masked by
sophomoric humor based on the automobile.

You simply cannot imagine my excitement in finding this kind
of juvenile, knee-jerk ignorance at ecomodder.

In keeping with the central theme of this forum, YMMV.

It's simple, the real joke here is that the Republicans HAVE to resort to strawman attacks on the Democrats while the truth about their own ridiculous policies is funny enough.
