Nasty news column on death of F-Body, make your blood boil!

A bit off topic, but nonetheless. Your teeth will gnash if you read it.

Send the guy some email...

he accuses f bodys of being gas guzzlers and is pro suv in the same breath? Since when is 28 mpg gas guzzling? maybe compared to a metro but itll beat any suv out there. looked at a 4 cylinder wrangler once and it only got 17 freeway! too pissed to even think of what else to say....

I sent him an "enlightening" e-mail. I was just at the Ford dealer tonight and say that the '01 Expedition gets 12 / 17. This j*ckoff says the Camaro is gas guzzling!?!?! I think he has his head up his a$$

What're you doing at the F*rd dealership? If you want an SUV, GM makes a nice line.

I'm thinking right now of a truck, maybe a 2500HD with crew cab, short bed, 4WD, white, Vortec 8100 496ci. That would be a piece of equipment no doubt.

F*rd? You should know your enemy I suppose.

I say we strap him in a Z28, drop him in Afganistan and see if he complains to the Taliban! Just hate to waste a Z28 on his sorry a##! Maybe I'll donate my 83 Z28 project car. Think we could get any air force guys that are f-body fans to deliver?

If im correct gm had to do wonders to get a 350 while retaining 27 miles to the gallon highway. Ya right, Im a young driver whats a camaro Ive never heard of one, Im looking for a chrysler minvan for lots of power.
I think suvs are a trend, for the most part. I had one, but I used it. I didnt go out and pay 40,000 dollars so I can go over a little bump at 3 miles an hour.

I hope the emails that were sent were intelligible and not calling him a bunch of 4 letter words...those kinds of emails do nothing except hurt peoples opinions of f-body owners....

I sent him a nice long email and picked his opinion apart bit by bit...but it was just his opinion...which he get's paid to express...

I don't know what his stand was on SUVs though...he referred to yuppies and SUVs...to my midwestern point of view a yuppie is a derogetory comment...not a compliment...oh well...he's probably the same one that coined the term 'pregnant chad'.

Sarcasm, I thought I made it obvious, some people are a little slower than others.
