Wink And so forth...

I've been told (accurately?) that if you compare the carbon footprint of all that's required in exotic materials and resources spent to construct a Prius BEFORE it's a green machine, and drove it for 10 years it would cause more net environmental damage than building and driving a Hummer over the same amount of time.

Nah..... they won't terminate our hobby any more than they'll terminate citizenship for smokers (a costly, unhealthy and environmentally toxic practice) or make polluting companies clean up their acts... no, they'll just do what they love the most - TAX and collect money for the privilege of doing those "harmful" behaviors... we'll have to cough up more dough for our share of the carbon footprint and the Feds will be delighted to squeeze our wallets for the right to do so. Ah, well, can't take it with me!
