If they were made in a manual, it'd be my next vehicle.
Run them off of WVO, and you're more environmentally friendly than the self-righteous prick in the Insight next to you.

I am still uncertain how come they define it as sucessful, not by it's economic impact, but only by how many people took advantage of it.

Oh yeah? Well how does it feel to know that my car runs on ZERO emissions control devices? I have no O2 sensor (ECU tune took care of that), no EGR, no catalytic converter... Mmmmm I love the smell of raw exhaust.

I don't know what this is getting at and i don't know where you are getting that i like hybrids, I think hybrids are shit. I said more fuel efficient cars. not hybrids //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Don't feed into the "global warming" bullshit. Human industry has less of an effect on the Earth's climate than nature does. For instance, volcanic eruptions and cow farts (largest contributor to methane gas).

#1 global warming is not nearly as ominous of a threat as crude oil shortages. This category alone is enough to render the US economy ball-less. First America's domestic oil sources are growing alarmingly thin, meaning our oil (literally the most critical resource in America) could soon solely depend on imports. Which considering the already high ratio trade deficits, will not point the US economy in a good direction.

#2 Humans are indeed the biggest contributing factor to greenhouse gasses today. With coal being the top pollutant. Methane levels are responsible for less than a third of the green house effect of CO2.

#3 The largest source of methane is actually methane hydrates on the ocean floor. If the global average temperature rose a mere 1 or 2 degrees the potential release of these gasses would likely cause the next ice age.

Hybrids ****. They cost more per mile to produce and operate than a fucking Hummer.http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2008/03/energy-cosp-per-mile-prius-vs-hummer-h3.html

There is a difference in cost in resources and cost in upkeep. The point of hybrids is that they decrease the over-all dependency of the nation on non-renewable resources. Not that they cost less to operate. With the stronger economy available from the relief of dependency of these variables, people can afford more expensive to maintain cars.

I just always assume Christians are retards and move on. I need no more explanation.

I agree with the pope.

If a person comes to my office, I get a truer sense of their needs than if it's just another person sending me an e-mail.

i'm sure he'll do that when he publishes in a scholarly journal, but for his interview reported by yahoo he seems to have left that out.

Yahoo wanted to break the news so they decided to not wait for the peer review.

i'd be a little skeptical of his peers too..

It's partially a true point. When i used to work for my grandfather he wouldn't allow me to wear sunglasses when talking to customers because he believed that the customer should be able to look you it the eye.

Technology and its positive effects are usually not without barely visible yet profound negative effects.

ever heard off Theodore Kaczynski?
