Iowahawk: The All New Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition

corvairYou know, I’ve been thinking about how Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are waiting on a detailed plan from the Big Three CEOs before “deciding” if they are going to “invest” $25 billion of someobody else’s money in them.

What I am thinking is, if Nancy and Harry knew anything about the auto business they would have been able to get rid of that pest Ralph Nader by bringing back the production of the rear-engine  Chevy Corvair Monza,  thereby giving Ralph a final vascular episode. Even if they had no creativity, they could have at least considered the return of the Ford Pinto. They only exploded and went up in flames, but at least you were a bit safer if you had a head-on collision just before the explosion.

Ah the days of the REAL lemon. Gone but not forgotten.  Or so I thought.

Then McNorman tipped me off that there is a new car in the works named after Nancy herself–a kind of tribute to her knowledge of business in general and auto manufacturing in particular. All new for 2012,  it’s the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition, brought to you by Congressional Motors.

Iowahawk provides the most exquisite description of this marvelous piece of machinery, designed specifically with Nancy in mind. You really should click his link and stop by to see his graphic–and maybe order up one of these Special Nancy Pelosi Lemons.

It’s in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You’re a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It’s that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors.

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again — with a vengeance.

We’ve subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you’ll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that’s a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.

Even with increased performance we didn’t skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you’ll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.

But the changes don’t stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by CM’s Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes — even in the choppy waters of a Cap Cod inlet. Available a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French Mustard.   

Inside, a luxurious all-velour interior designed by Barney Frank features thoughtful appointments like in-dash condom dispenser and detachable vibrating shift knob. A special high capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you’ll never miss a segment of NPR again.

Best of all, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt is made right here in the U.S.A. by fully card-checked unionized workers and Detroit’s famous visionary jet-set managers. Even if you don’t own one, you can enjoy the patriotic satisfaction that you’re supporting the high wages, good benefits, and generous political donations that are once again making the American car industry the envy of the world.

 

But why not buy one anyway? With an MSRP starting at only $629,999.99, it’s affordable too. Don’t forget to ask about dealer incentives, rebates, tax credits, and wealth redistribution plans for customers from dozens of qualifying special interest groups. Plus easy-pay financing programs from Fanny Mae.

So take the bus to your local CM dealer today and find out why the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the only car endorsed by President Barack Obama. One test drive will convince you that you’d choose it over the import brands. Even if they were still legal.

  1. Uppity, you crack me up. I had to stop reading your great post just to relieve my blood pressure when reading about Fords Pinto.

    When I first started seeing my hubby in Miami in 1979, he had a Ford Pinto. It had the extra padding in the back to hopefully avoid the gas tank from BURSTING if hit.

    I remember shopping with my brother one day. I was in need of under garments. I made my way to the register where my brother was and he asked “no luck”? in the era when we didn’t want all that PADDING in bras, I yelped “those damn bras have so much padding, I could cut the straps off and use them to pad (hubby’s) Pinto.

    …ok, back to reading.

  2. I would have plugged my website, but my rant on the auto industry turned into a rant about socialism. So, here’ s a preview of my next post.

    The UAW has pension funds in excess of $80 billion. Their members make billions each year. Why don’t THEY invest in the auto companies. Let the employee union buy a chunk of stock in the Big 3. They could have bargaining power like they never did before.

    Do you know why that will never happen? A parasite is not interested in the well-being of its host. The unions want to make sure “I got mine” before they let the company that provides their livelyhood make it into the black. Imagine what would happen if their share price goes down or dividends are cut because of their own pay demands.

    Would union-owners care about workmanship? As shareholders, they might see the reports that say American cars are crap and that the Japanese make some long lasting little tanks with good mileage. At Ford, would quality actually be job #1 or would it be getting Obama Day off in the next contract negotiation?

  3. My dad had a Pinto. It never blew up. Maybe it did before we got it, there was a lot of bondo and primer paint on it.

    Someone at work said Palin sounded like a good name for a car. I can imagine it. Powerful, sexy, leans to the right but can negotiate with the left, and it can seat a family of 7 comfortably.

    What a GREAT idea.

  5. P4P…another good name for a car…..Maverick. Oops, sorry, bad example I know. I had it’s sister, the OTHER Fix Or Repair Daily, the Comet. I had to change the sparkplugs so often, I became known as a “girl Grease Monkey”. LOL

    My kid had a HS friend who was cool—wore silk lounging pajamas all day Sunday–even if she came over. She had a hoopty car that always needed oil–for some reason we called her Fender Girl. Fun to remember her!

  7. Star….a great name. Much catchier. :)

  8. did you know former president clinton has a car named after him??
    it,s the automo….BILL..lol.

  9. Hilarious! Thanks, I needed that!

  10. awh jeez as if the Hillary appointment wasn’t bad enough you had to bring back unsafe at any speed.
    i’m on my second cat life from one of those death traps.
    go ahead give that towel head Nader & his tired ass a coronary after he blackballed McCain over the USS Liberty.
    Nancy should be disowned from the Italian race & floated out to her Tuna farm in Samoa. she’s a mutant.
    an Italian Communist designed the worst car ever produced by the Soviet Union. the Lada was basically a Fiat that performed like a golf cart.

  11. And to make it appealing to women, they added 14 cup holders.

  12. A Corvair with a six cylinder air cooled boxer engine sitting next to a 1961 ( I think) Plymouth that could be optioned out in that year with a 413 cubic inch torque monster motor fed by not one but two 4 barrel carburetors .
    Guess which one would have kept us from mucking about the Middle East oil fields.

    P4P,
    Quality Circles work in Japan because they mesh with the ethos. They will never work in a cowboy-mentality society like ours. The same goes for any efforts to put the good of the group above the good of the individual.

    And then, of course, labor unions, like so many other legitimately-grounded movements, come to rival the abuses they were meant to correct.

    Blessed are we who have embraced mastery while shunning power.

  14. raGing, ” that towel head Nader ”

    If those were towels on their heads, it would be correct to say “towel head.” But they’re not towels; they’re sheets..

  15. You’ll feel better if you just think of Pelousy by the name deadenders gave her, the queen of botox .

  16. Mary,

    I don’t believe that at all. I have faith in the integrity of America and her people. We may get lost or sidelined, but deep down we are a good and noble country. In fact, that’s how Obama got elected – playing on the hopes (and guilt) of our better natures. I think the PUMA movement is a representation of the real America – we just “got it” sooner than the rest. Of course there are bad people in America, but I refuse to believe that they are the majority.

    Do you think that if most Americans had been told the truth about Obama from the beginning by the media and the DNC that the results would have been the same? As Uppity says, let’s not blame the victim!
