I don't have the answers yet, but I have learned enough to be dangerous, and ask better questions..

So I know humor and the word 'gangs' do not normally appear in the same sentence, but driving down to LA today, I heard this radio station going over a local news story. It appears that a gang shot up a liquor store and made off with the cash register. They were stopped a short time later fleeing in...

get this...

.....a Geo Metro.

Isn't that like the most un-gangiest (is that a word) car for a gang to drive????? Doesn't that thing do 0 to 60 in like an hour and a half?

I mean, what self-respecting gang member totes a Tec 9, shoots a bunch of innocent citizens, takes a bunch of money from some small store owner, and then makes off in a Geo Metro?

I can hear the engine whining from here.

ehmmmmmmeeee

 "Dang can't this piece of *!#* go any faster man??? People on rollerblades are passing us man!!"

GM and company really need to get on top of this problem. This is serious stuff. Shouldn't gang members be driving big decked out SUVs and Hummers? I mean, where are the marketing people on this one?

Oh woops - are SUVs and Hummers only for suburban moms and weekend warrior dads who have ego issues below the waist?

I think the marketing dollars could be better targed at the boys in the hood who could mount machine guns on the Hummers (like they do in the military) and drive through neighborhoods with serious firepower at their disposal now.

Perhaps GM will come out with the Optional Machine Gun mounts on the 2005 edition.

So to make matters worse, some guy calls in during this segment and says that a gang member sued him over an incident the gang member himself started.

Hah! I'd love to be in the courtroom for THAT one.....ain't dissin' against the law somewheres?
