<VV> Hybrid Saturn SUV - GM Is Listening - NOW A LITTLE Corvair - Some Humor

[Bill Elliott]

Actually with something like 70% (the specific % is arguable) of a 
vehicle's total energy/environmental impact being consumed during its 
construction and delivery to the selling dealer, driving an old "dirty" 
Corvair (or any other old car for that matter) is more "responsible" 
than driving even the cleanest of the new cars...

Haven't bought a new car is over 20 years and don't intend to start now...
