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 am all for having a "green home". As a kid I grew up in a solar powered house. We got our heat, electric and hot water from panels on top of the house and in the back yard. This was in the 80s and it didn't work so well. Obviously we still have to be on the grid. 20 years later I went to Kansas and the house is still there with updated solar power and is pretty state of the art.
I really am all for conserving energy. I even installed energy conservative devices all around my apartment. I have timers on the hot water heater and on the ac. Where I draw the line is if someone comes along and tells me I cannot have a 427 big block motor in a sports car. Or worse someone idiot in congress tried to push a bill banning high performance tires in the US. Amazing what these guys think is ok to do on capitol hill. Tell me I cannot drive down the street on hoosiers if I want. |
