Wow, nice way to be unprofessional. The survey findings are interesting no doubt, but the way the author twisted it is no different than stereotyping the shit out of something or someone. In my experience I have seen no correlation between a person's intellect and the brand of car they drive. As well, I have seen plenty of "educated" people act like idiots in front of someone who simply graduated high school and went on to bigger and better things. But I've also seen it the other way around. I think there's a leak in their liner, because that shit holds no water.
Man those people picking up Chevrolet Z06s surely aren't savvy or smart, they must of used their parent's money to buy them...
I really do not care, call me retarded, but all you will see are my tail lights...its a bunch of yuppies from California who think the United States needs to rely on Wind power and going green, I mean they were going to outlaw black colored cars because they were environmental hazards. I hate Yahoo, for the win.

eh, so the worst part was probably the last line. But that was nothing more than ending the article on a joke tying in the information at the beginning of the article. Kind of a weak study. I fail to see how there's any direct correlation to what car you drive and how intelligent you are. And I wouldn't consider Yahoo a 'respectable news page'.
Though it is funny how its listed under: Autos > Research > Articles. That's some pretty useless (if at all valid) research.
Word. I loved they way he opened with By the first line of the article I was pisssed.

Wind energy is the biggest lie the power industry has ever had to hide. It is the governments fault for subsidizing/pushing this bull shit even though the reports came back that showed wind energy is most available when it is least needed and least available when most needed.

only thing more stupid than the article is how most of you are over reacting to it. If you act stupid about the article doesnt that kinda feed into the BS it was posting.
its know big secret the build quality on our camaro's kinda sucks, the LS1 makes up for alot. The new Chevy, quality is getting better

You sir, did not read the article. Nothing but opinionated
Besides, Yahoo is responsible for allowing it onto the front page of Yahoo Autos. SV may have penned the survey, but Yahoo wielded it inappropriately.
Actually I read the article the whole way through... while it was opinionated and not too bright, that doesn't change the fact that Yahoo was not the one that did the study.

I'm actually on a few Honda websites... and several Mustang websites... and a couple LS1 websites. Thanks though .

Yahoo WAS the one that published the article... had to clear their editorial staff before it made the page. And did you see any of the actual numbers from the study? nope. You're left to take the author's obviously biased word for it. Inappropriate, unprofessional, and uncalled for, any way you spin it.
Yahoo auto news is not what I would call "reputable automotive news" Where are these so called study statistics. I am sure that more rednecks do indeed drive chevy's this however should not reflect poorly Chevy's rep, as I have seen far more "thugs" driving beat-to-hell hondas, than rednecks in chevys in my day. Is yahoo trying to say that all the coffee-can-exhaust goons, that proudly wave the puerto-rican flags from the rear view are well-educated. Maybe I have only come in contact with the 30% without a pristine academic background. Who knows?
Little sensitive are we? If someone makes a rude statement that is far from truthful people tend to ignore it and laugh it off. If someone cracks a joke or makes an assumption that hits a little too close to home people immediately get defensive and riled up. The fact that people are getting their panties in a bunch over a vague generalization kinda makes a point about the ones who are butt-hurt over it.
JMHO though, no need to agree with me!

I will say though, based off what I see on the internet... MOST people in the world are pretty stupid anyway.

The "person" is smart, "people" are stupid. Individuals can think for themselves...it's when they start to believe everything the media says and buy Toyotas and Hondas that they become "people" and your statement becomes entirely accurate.
It's amusing to me how much inadvertent truth a person can speak about themselves when evaluating others. "image projection" is is the term used in the psychology field. Spoolin may see a connection here to one of my earlier statements in another thread (if he was paying attention to begin with).
) but that doesnt stop me from coming home at 2 am with the cutouts open.
for the win.
By the first line of the article I was pisssed.
I'm trading in every vehicle I own for a brand new Prius.
