- GM and Chrysler are suing the American taxpayer with taxpayer money. This pertains to the government’s push to increase fuel-efficiency standards among the states, which would eventually result in cleaner cars, and that’s cool.
- Why pay sticker? Only chumps pay full price. You’re not a chump, now, are you?
