Read Larry's post right above yours. I don't want to close the thread either...
If I had a car I would get rid of it to get a truck. Anyone who knows anything knows nothing beats an American made truck![]()
Would that be Toyota? Made in SA
Something tells me not to post here that I may come across wrong. I have one car thats gets 38 miles a gallon and is very clean.
And one that burns 110 with lead and has 3 Carbs
Keep in mind that it is just for fun, as I am into the car hobby.

Is that a 389 tripower?.
If the rest of the world would just adopt the same water and air pollution standards the U.S. has to play by it would be a good start in curbing at least a few environmental problems.
Do you seriously think that our standards are that high. We are the major air polluters as well as ground water pollution from chemical runoff. Our landfills are out of control and the waste fron all of our use of plastics and other materials that will not degrade for hundreds of years. I'm laughing.
BTW, not a conservationist at all. A responsible hobbyist, and I do care about our environment, but like most people I enjoy the creature comforts that we have, and hope that we adapt to a better, cleaner, economically balanced way to get better. Having to pay twice the price for a clean car vs. buying a standard auto at a descent price. Buying the standard.
1) Is the job finished? No, but to laugh at the progress that has been made here and in Europe for that matter in the past 30 years or so is somewhat Naive.
You seem to getting your environmental information from the 1970s.
I agree that a lot of excellent progress has been made in the past few decades, but there's still a major problem when we look at the big picture because servicing the United States remains a dirty job. We may have exported many of our nastiest manufacturing processes to the other side of the planet where low wages and low environmental standards make it all possible, but our insatiable demand for those products still has a major impact on the salty ball of dirt that we all share.
I'll just leave this here.

There are more plastic polymers in our ocean than phytoplankton. One of the gyres is twice the size of Texas.
Feel free to youtube this, it will make you think twice when you drink from a plastic bottle.
Highly unlikely ... His SN is 340six, as in 340 six pack... Chrysler

Attended a seminar yesterday on sustainable energy. Learned that
a plastic bag is more sustainable than paper as it can be recycled indefinitely. Paper only twice. It just depends where the plastic ends up.
So paper or plastic? I'll take plastic.
This made me think of this (a little comic relief):
