I'm tired of people using the term "Green" and think they can save the planet by buying a car. It allows politicians to think they have the power to pass laws that will save the planet. Laws that dictate 54 MPG cars by 2025. So we end up with 3-cylinder turbo engines and 15-speed automatics (or worst CVTs) on the way to 2025, and people like me who actually enjoy driving can't find a decent car to replace their E90 and expect to get 250,000 miles out of it without a major repair. And if EVERYONE drove their car to 250,000 miles, wouldn't that actually be better for the planet because as a society we will produce less cars and dig less stuff out of the ground to make them. Maybe we should pass a law that mandates people should be required to drive their cars to a minimum of 250,000 miles.
That's the point.
