Thanks for the observation on "environmental" cars. I used to work for the People's Republic of Palo Alto in California, home to some of the most radical environmentalists in the country. They are a smug, angry and sanctimonious bunch to say the least. I was driving a 66 Sport Fury 440 and they yelled profane comments at me saying I was destroying the earth, threw rocks and even a bottle at me (I gave chase...while still in the car), and tried to force all city employees to leave their cars home on "Car Out" days. What is funny is, some of these people drive an electric car to "protect the environment" and when I asked them the source of the electricity, they said an outlet! They couldn't comprehend that most electricity is generated by burning coal. The more electricity used, the more coal that is burned...I believe I offended them because I punctured their smugness...rock on
