Warren Buffett as... Axl Rose?? (N/A)

[wbarnhill]

So apparently GEICO produced a few videos for their annual employee meeting, and they feature cameos by Warren Buffett... good stuff

That's pretty hilarious, they should make that an advertisement (although I suppose they kinda did). My question: Is Warren Buffet actually involved with Geico?

Yep. He (Berkshire Hathaway) owns Geico.

That's what I wondered too, and as Trapper points out, they're owned by Berkshire Hathaway. I must admit, the video did prompt me to take a look at my insurance. Looks like I could save a whopping six dollars by switching to GEICO.

I won't go with Geico because of their policies on radar detectors and giving away radar guns to cops. Cute fuzzy gecko or not, that just doesn't sit right with me.

I have to agree that is not right. Unless the state has a law against radar detectors. I personally do not have a problem with people having detectors. They are legal here in MA.

I don't have a problem with radar detectors. I do have a problem with speed limits. It should be "safe and prudent." I should not be punnished when riding my motorcycle or driving my Jag (which has tire pressure settings for speeds above and below 100 mph in the owner's manual) because some guy in a minivan can't safely exceed 65.

Hey, watch it, Buster!!!!!!!!!!

Don't fret, your Matrix will outperform his Aztruck anyday.

Well, you also have a sporty car and a motorcycle.

Don't fret, your Matrix will outperform his Aztruck anyday.

Not when it comes to taking off out of or landing at short strips, hauling puppies, or performance when one engine goes out.

Yep, but my mom would be much happier if I picked her up in the Matrix than the Aztec. It has stairs on the door, that makes her happy.

Of course then I'd hear the "It only has one engine" rant. I think she'd complain about a 421 because the toilet on it isn't porcelain.

You're going to need to step up quite a bit to get an airplane with a reasonable lav...

I figure that everyone needs to endure a little suffering in her life. She can suffer not having a porcelain toilet in an airplane and having to climb up on the wing to get into the Aztec.
