Ban Chevrolets!!!

The word on FoxNews is that the cowardly sniper is using a chevy astro van as his getaway car. Lets band together and make sure that no one will ever be killed and have their murderer whisked away in Chevy's. I've called the ACLU and already created plans to sue GM for their negligence.

And did you know that those assault vans are capable of holding more than 10 snipers?

I'm not sure that you can classify them as assault vans though, you know...since they're not the color of death: BLACK!!!

Isn't white used in Eastern culture to symbolize death, not black?

Yes I'd like to order the NINJA ASSAULT VAN OF DEATH.

Ok, would you like the MALL NINJA accessories? It comes with 5 racks for assault rifles quick release sinper bay and 4 posters of Rambo. Also for an extra 1500.00 you can get an attachment for a post ban semi auto .50 cal machine gun.

So, just how easy is it for someone to get one of these "tactical assault sniper-mobiles"?

You mean there's no waiting period? Anyone can just walk into a local dealership and buy one of these?

I also heard that there's no waiting period for those assault tarot cards either.

Yeah, but has the People's Republic of California so-called "safety-tested" them yet? Are they on the list? If they're not...

Now, now....it isn't the VEHICLE that is at fault here. Some folks may have a valid reason to own vans. The REAL PROBLEM is the WHITE paint! Remember OJ's WHITE Bronco? Now a WHITE Chevy Astro. Notice the trend?


It's them WHITE vehicles that have gotta go. No one has a reason to own one of those obviously dangerous monstrocities!!

I think there should be a 'cool off' period, maybe 5 days before you can pick up your van.

But if the van is insured, shouldn't that cover all problems?

And lets not forget about the accessories you can add, I mean there is a kit to chuck the standard capacity v6 and use a high capacity v8 in these from the aftermarket.

Lights, tires, ramming bumpers, and everything else I saw on the a-team's full size van can be retrofitted to this concealable compact van.

And watch out for the 3/4 ton suburban knock offs, 4x4 and many seats place maximum snipers in play and using a factory high capacity engine option it can do it faster than most neutered rides.

And who has seen cannonball II or whatever, I mean doesn't everyone have paint colors that wash off with a high pressure hose?

BAN CHEVROLETS!!!

Yessir, I second that motion most emphatically!!!

And don't forget to ban also all Fords, Cadillacs, Lincolns, Buicks etc.......

BUY BMWs, VWs, AUDIs, Mercedes-Benzes and Porsches instead!



Bye

Do it for the children. Evil white assault vans killed 72% of all children under the age of 25 last year alone.

Does this mean I will have to turn in my GMC Jimmy? I mean, it's basically a Chevy with better options.
