I think everybody here's pretty much done choking on your GM fanboyism. GM sucks, and they're a thing of the past. GM didn't shape squat. Brush up on your American history. I question whether you're adept enough to do your American History homework, so allow me to help you.
The Industrial Revolution was the backbone of the United States. This country was built upon developing inventions of transportation, harnessing electricity, and honing industrial processes for making jobs such as farming easier.
Confused yet? Let me help you out.
Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb, and the motion picture.
Samuel Morse invented the telegraph and Morse code. Morse code is still used today.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone which took the place of the telegraph. Until then, the telegraph was the only means people had of communicating by long distance.
Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper which made grain harvesting efficient and faster for farmers.
Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber. This made it possible for rubber to stand up in bad weather. Rubber was used in many aspects of manufacturing.
Nikola Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, the AC electrical power system, and the radio. The Tesla Coil is still used today in radios and televisions.
George Westinghouse invented the electrical transformer. Oddly enough, the electrical transformer was adapted to being used as brakes on trains.
Dr. Richard Gatling invented the infamous "Gatling Gun," which was one of our most effective weapons used during the Spanish/American war. I think it's also safe to credit Dr. Gatling with developing such an effective weapon that variations of it are still used today in modern warfare!
Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity.
Ya know, it's funny that General Motors is NOWHERE on that list. GM had NOTHING to do with the shaping of this country. Give credit where credit is due. This country earned its freedom in 1776. GM was not even a thought in 1776.
Now that you've been given your history lesson for the day, how'bout if you give us one.
SINCE THE MUSTANG SUCKS SO BADLY AND IT'S SO SLOW, WHY ARE YOU HERE? I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you probably did like Mustangs and people were just busting your balls about you being a troll, but the more posts I read of yours, the more I'm discovering that they really are right.
I'd like to take this time to address everyone participating in the 2010 Mustang Forums to apologize for defending this guy.
