HA, I have to share this....
I was in the back of my building doing a few tweaks to my race car Papa Smurf. Running it up and down, etc. (2.2 high compression 6 cyl engine, headers to megaphones...) Then I went over to the 69 911 and had to change the piece of cardboard underneath because it's soaked in oil (next project). I was on the phone with another guy regarding my street 914 "Huey" and the fact that it's running very rich and needs some carb adjustments.... So I come back to my computer and get a spam email asking "Are you Green? How is your Carbon Footprint?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Uh....kind of like Bigfoot's.... |

I ride my bicycle to and from work, not to be green, but as an attempt to loose the gut, but it still counts right? Plus it's exiting riding a bike on public streets, my little brother says I have road rage even on my bike, I get a little loud with the f and c words he he.
Then there's the '96 Tahoe, 15 mpg if I'm lucky, 9-10 mpg if towing my 5500 lb toy hauler. The '73 914 w. Chevy 283, you actually start crying when sitting in trafic he he. And a multitude of 2-stroke model plane gas engines ranging from 100cc twins to 300cc flat fours, swinging 24" to 36" props, but I only run 80/1 mixture oil. byndbad914 hit it right on the head when mentioning Mars. Earth changes its climate, it has all through history. Any person thinking we, the people, are a significant factor in what's happening with the climate is a fool. Algie in the oceans puke out more CO2 than we would if all of China and India were motorized like Americans. The posts about the energy cost or "carbon footprint" of the hybrids make me feel really good about NOT owning one. |
