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.... |

So lets see:
- 1971 914/6 2.7 liter pseudo race car/street car w/carbs that runs on premium, no smog anything, headers, etc. - 1973 914/6 2.5 liter race car w/carbs and headers and straight pipe exhaust - 1974 914/6 2.2 liter race car w/carbs, high compression race fuel only with headers and straight pipe exhaust - 1969 911 that leaks oil faster than I can put it in, carbs, no smog prevention - 1995 993 with cat bypass - 2002 Chevy Tahoe Yep, I have a carbon footprint, but it sure ain't green... Oh, and they all are North Carolina emissions compliant. NC does not check emissions on cars older than 1996.... |
