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.... |

The main issue I have with "Green" is that there's no real spec. I have a professor who was talking about how he was working with a plastics company to make a biodegradable product and, failing that, suggested they dye the film green. That passed the wal-mart standard.
Honestly, even though these cars run dirty as hell, if you look at the environmental cost of building a new vehicle we're probably ahead. People suck at big picture though, My engineering program emphasizes sustainability, and we don't even know what the hell that is. |
