It Sucks Less

  • Comments (-)

The motto for my first company was “We Suck Less.”  Many years later, with the price of oil at some silly high price, it seems all the more appropriate as a slogan.

Thanks Chris for catching this ad, remembering the story of my first company motto, and for forwarding it on.  I wonder if Gebhardt will send me a check for the free advertising – I can tell them how many clickthroughs they get.

    Sucking less is a great motto. It’s a nice undersell. I wonder when car companies are going to take a tip from Web 2.0 companies and start launching cars in Beta?

    Diesel powered engines have long been more efficient and reliable than gasoline ones. My first vehicle was a 1983 Isuzu P’up Diesel (look up rust bucket in the dictionary). It looked like hell but ran like a top. Now with my 2004 Dodge 2500 turbo diesel I get roughly 19 miles / gallon. That’s pretty good considering it’s a 5.9L engine (equivilent to a 360 for the motor heads). The truck also has a GVW of 9,000lbs….so it does pretty good for it’s size and weight. Subaru is supposed to be coming out with a diesel powered boxer engine, supposed to get around 52 miles per gallon and have somewhere around 250hp.
