“Is it just me, or is rap getting lazier?”

It’s sort of like the universally mispronounced French word forte, which means strength. (”His forte is endurance races…”) It’s properly pronounced in English “fort,” or in French “for.” But everybody says “for-tay,” which would only be correct if there were an accent over the e.

I’m with you. They can’t be serious about launching the car with that dash.

I mean, there’s some massaging of the vowels to be done to make it sound properly Italian, but the syllables are all there just as in any Romance language.

I’m personally glad that at least in the US we tend to pronounce “Maserati” correctly, not in the British manner (in which the first syllable rhymes with “razz”).

As far as the Nissan Exterior comment goes, when I was in electronics sales I once had a redneck guy ask about “High Defiance” televisions.

Reminds me of the time I drove into a Manhattan parking garage with a vivid yellow SUV of some sort–don’t remember what it was, but the parking attendant was disappointed when I got close enough that he could read the nameplate. “Aw man,” he said, “I thought you was drivin’ one of them new Nissan Exteriors.”

Still, I rate this track at two mics, cause the production is sick, yo.

Going to be a long time before I’m convinced sound has any business on the net.

Check out the SEMA concepts.

Foolish and I are on the same page about the dash and wheel. Something’s not right when I prefer a Malibu interior. Going aggressive is one thing but that interior already has me thinking I’ll be waiting even longer to pick up a used model after the mid cycle refresh.

In a time of war, you’re going to spread this nonsense? All it does is embolden our enemies. Now is not the time to question who might very well be our next CIC.

Have a little respect for the position and our troops who are in harm’s way.

…popularity of Osama…err Obama…

See, when you say something like this it sinks your entire ability to persuade. You had a point…until then.

You could be adopted by Mr and Mrs. Huxtable for all I know (let alone saying you have a Black spouse), but because you decided to reveal the fact you have xenophobic issues (conflating two foreign names to reinforce the ridiculous notion that Obama is Middle eastern terrorist), there really isn’t anything you can say that a rational person would find informative.

BTW…my wife is black. Even she thought this narrator was a joke.

I just want GM to be on better footing before I buy, that’s all.
