Good steward of planet????? yeah right, if that was the case you should remove the 914 from the road forever. Instead you sell it (for personnel gain) thus allowing that car to be driven by someone that is not a good planet steward.
maybe you should buy some of Gores carbon credits to make up for your lack of stewardship in wanting to sell your car to be used, rather than turning it into an organic compost bin. (besure to drill holes in floor so rain water can drain out, else compost will rot) Kind of like arnold nazi shwartzni**er selling off his fleet of humvees so he could sauy he is a green driver! Now his fleet (yes fleet) of humvees that he sold are being driven by multible folks, likely totally more miles driven that if arnold had kept them (I figure arnold can only drive one at a time) This post has been edited by McMark: Jul 30 2007, 01:27 PM |

The unfortunate reality is that our little 30 year old four cylinders create perhaps 10 to 100 times more CO, NO,and a lot of hydrocarbons burned up in the catalytic chamber than in cars only 20 years old.
There is no legitimate way to rationalize it. That sucks. So I try to make up for it by being contientous about all the other things- paints and pesticides, electricity reduction and things like that. Do what you can but don't be a martyr. |

There is no legitimate way to rationalize it. That sucks... Ya, you're probably right on the pollution data. But let me give a shot at some rationale: You got to admit, dollar for pound, there probably ain't no funner way to pollute than driving a 914 through some twisties. Like I tell my 10-year-old son, "you smell that exhaust, son? That's the smell of freedom, pre-smog planet killing freedom, but what the hell don't fear the reaper. Let's roll!" John |
