You gotta love an ad that starts "It's not about the stuff", then proceeds to try to sell you stuff.

I respect "humble" more than "arrogant". Some humble people are the biggest "badasses" out there and will "click on" IF needed when dealing with punks.

Lol--after realizing we did not time travel back to the 50s, I thought it made the European lifestyle look way more appealing than ours. It asked do you want to enjoy your life and spend more time with your friends and family or be an overworked cog in the machine of corporate America in order to own one of those eternally butt-ugly cars? There is a reason that 8 of the top 10 happiest countries in the world are in Europe. US did not even make the top 10.

If you spend seven years in college so that you can own a Cadillac . . . you've got values problems.

Am I having a deja vu? I could have sworn this topic was already brought up. Not slammin' on the OP, I'm actually curious if I'm remembering right, or just imagining. I swear there was a thread on this already.

When wingers find a topic that tickles their amygdaloid gland, they have been known to start duplicate threads... Sometimes six or seven thousand of them.

That's usually not the goal. A family member spent 5 years in college to earn her B.S. in engineering plus an MBA in Operations/Global Supply Chain Management. The least of her concerns in doing so was which car she would end up driving. It was all about her career goals.

What I love is the winger reaction- they don't get the joke.

It's a really stupid ad, but so is the American Dream.

Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives talk about the depreciaton of all of the cars since the Moon landing.

The nation that put men on the Moon can't do algebra.

Lmfao you can't measure happiness of a country. I hope you don't take those internet articles seriously?

To me the European lifestyle is to frugal for me. they take a lot of vacations and spend very little on each vacation.
Americans take one big vacation a year and spend a lot on that one vacation.
