Phathetic


United States was a great country, when they were making good cars. Now they seem to be out of luck, and the automotive business goes more and more horrid. That's quite a strong rule - but not hard to be seen. The days of wonderful american automobiles are gone, and making another 25 cars that look like their ancestors repairs nothing. Now, GM and others (are any, really?) are struggling to make their own Toyotas - comfortable, cheap, reliable and amazingly boring. It's no accident that it's Japanese carmakers who invented onboard antisleep alarm. Now, the US is following Japan, adding 2 meters to every car's length. That's the american way, now. But not only they are becoming a copycats, they're regressing psychically, too. The latest fruit of american petrolheads is a certain proof of that. Behold the obscenity and misery of the Phantomhummer! It's not a very complicated thing - you just put the proud face of actual Rolls Royce flagship on one of the cheap american SUV. Easy to say, hard to believe - still, they're selling it. It's disgusting in a number of ways; firstly, it's an unacceptable copyright breach. The japanese men used to practise it a lot (Lexus, NSX and hundred of others...), so did their friends in Korea. Now, China owns a Copycat Grand Prix - and it's nothing to be proud of. What are hummertuners making, then? They're copying the Chinese way - not a clever idea to live your life properly. Secondly - just look what are they copying. Rolls Royce is an icon of britishness and an eternal symbol of imperial domination. When the American people worship Rolls, it's kinda Oedipus play. Are they dreaming of getting back to British Empire? Is any complex involved? Are they really so scared of terrorists they want to hide under the Queen's dress? Considering the size of their army and the size of their brains, it's really scary. You just shouldn't do this. Where are the strong american people? Where are these marines, who designed most admired cars in history, all these Lincolns and Corvettes? They've made cars the whole world dreamed of; now they're dreaming of being japanese and british in the same time. Copying Toyotas and pretending to be Rolls-Royce? Come one! It's not only Osama to be killed - Mickey Mouse should disappear too. He/she made the whole population childish, and children don't have balls. You must have them, however, if you want to rule the world and make proper cars. It's all very sad and very funny. Very awful, too.
