It was absolutely smegging unbelievable.

 

Planted on the road like anything. Low and so wide. I'm in love with this.

 

One of the tyres was slipping a bit on take off, but hey its thread is pretty low so thats understandable. But what a car!

 

And I tackled that pesky speed bump no problems. Just hyper slow down. Too bad for anyone behind me. Even drove to my gym and back, just to check it for when I do go there.

 

The skyline is like a poorly designed toy in comparison. Well, its no comparison is it.

 

This is how a true car should perform. Made me feel like the king of the road, lmao. If its this good in the wet, can't wait to try the dry.

 

I followed class one's advise about bad weather driving too. I'm so happy with the car.

 

 

Carl :cool:

well !! come on this is a car forum, not a hang out for poofs, poetry about cars ???

 

shall i compare thee to putting ones arse end sideways :rlol:

 

I must admit I never liked poems, until I read a couple I liked, and even wrote one or two myself. But rest assured there won't be any today.

 

By the way song lyrics are basically poems lol, did you know that?

 

same as rap. :-)

Yeah it beggars belief really, that your favorite song you sing while your in the shower or what ever is actually a poem set to music. Put's a bit of a dampner on it if you ask me.

 

Now the real prospects for authentic democracy depend on something else. They depend on how the people in the rich and priveliged societies learn some other lessons.

 

For example the lessons that are being taught right now by the Mayans in Chiapas, Mexico. They are among the most impoverished and oppressed sectors in the continent but, unlike us, they retain a vibrant tradition of liberty and democracy. A tradition that we've allowed to slip out of our hands or has been stolen from us and unless people here in the rich and privileged society, unless they can recapture and revitalize that tradition,

the prospects for democracy are indeed dim.

 

Does it seem strange to you? The confetti. The balloons.

The mile-wide grins and the victory dance to welcome in the heir to a state of utter and complete disrepair?

 

Because it sure seems strange to me: they're acting like they won the fucking lottery! I mean, shouldn't they feel terror at the task that lies ahead: to feed and house the people that this system's left for dead. And could I have hit the nail much harder on the head? It's profits before lives. They are motivated by greed.

 

First they taught us to depend on their nation-states to mend our tired minds, our broken bones, our bleeding limbs but now they've sold off all the splints and contracted out the tourniquets and if we jump through hoops then we might just survive. Is this what we deserve? To scrub the palace floors?

To fight amongst ourselves? As we scramble for the crumbs they spit out, frothing at the mouth about the scapegoats that they've chosen for us. With every racist pointed finger I can hear the goose-steps getting closer. They no longer represent us so is it not our obligation to confront this tyranny?

 

Does that count as a poem? FWIW the above is the lyrics for a song called The State-Lottery by Propagandhi.
