Are you Green?, HA! Options

[naro914]

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?"

Since we are itemizing:

Daily drivers:
1994 Toyota Camry, subject to Maryland emissions testing, passes by wide margin
1988 Mercedes 420SEL, subject to Maryland emissions testing, passes by wide margin
Both are well within compliance with the law.

Historic cars (no emissions testing required):
1977 Corvette, driven less than 6000 miles in the past 5 years
1970 Porsche, driven less than 10,000 miles in the past 6 years (estimated - broken odometer)
Both of these are also within compliance with the law.

Other stuff:
1970 John Deere, Kohler K321 14hp engine
MTD lawn mower, 5hp Briggs engine
Stihl 2-stroke brushcutter (think weedwhacker on steroids)
Briggs powered pressure washer, has not been run since I got it (a friend gave it to me)
Propane powered grill for cooking (burgers n' dogs)
Propane powered Cajun cooker for homebrewing (no fire, no homebrew)
Not covered by state emissions laws.

I could not realistically replace any of the lawn maintenance equipment with electric counterparts (although about 1/3 of my electricity comes from NUCLEAR POWER, which the greenies don't like even though it has a low "carbon footprint").
