However, there was one car that seemed to represent the Bush era even better. It is huge tank of a thing built by Chrysler and although sales have plunged in the past year, it sold quite well in Australia for some time. It has a grill like the mouth of a whale shark, seeming to suck everything before it.
The car’s body was disproportionately large like that of a bodybuilder on steroids, while what might symbolise the head was shrunken and sat on top like an afterthought.
It seemed to represent how the US projected itself to the world during this time — much brawn and little brain, don’t think just act.

Who cares.
BTW, why did Daimler-Chrysler not market those pug-ugly cars to the police? I hear that they have good power and are fairly roomy.

Wow.
What kind of irony is just plain delicious.
