I agree with you, but I don't own any of those things. I own a Camaro, so this is the only thing I can really act on at the moment.

The oil spill was no accident. It was orchestrated by the U.S. government for political gain. Please continue driving your Camaro and long live capitalism.

Batteries and current use of zinc is a horriblely polluting mining operation, oil drilling would be safer if we could do it on LAND, not in 5000 feet of water. Every new building meets strict new energy codes and uses less energy, if you are concerned turn OFF your A/C at home, insulate more, and if you believe in global warming, you are TOO FAR GONE, it's the SUN stupid, we are cooling due to the NORMAL 11 year cycle of the sun, google sun spot activity, there are NONE or one or two right now not hundreds as normal. Drive that car warm us up!!!!!!!

All I'm saying is that I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.

And actually, I don't want a Prius. I think that Hybrid cars are BS. It has to be plug-in electric, or nothing.

I couldn't say, but I'm sure my carbon footprint is pretty big, and you're right, every little bit helps. I think going all-green is impractical and impossible, however, "every little bit helps".

The main purpose of my post was to let people know that I don't get the same joy driving my Camaro as I did last year.

Look at it this way. Even if you don't give a damn about the spill itself, it may very possibly destroye the livelyhood of thousands of people and businesses to depend on the gulf, such as fishing and tourism.

Yes, muscle cars are FUN. We drive them fast and hard, tweak every possible thing we can tweak, spend lots of money on our "babies" and talk endlessly to other enthusiasts, etc. This is all good, except... except... the COST of all of this is much higher than we pay at the dealer...

So had the oil spill not happened, you'd be ok with the camaro? Seems pretty extreme to me...

Didn't Rush Limbaugh say that?

A Prius won't help...trade the Camaro on a horse.

Not sure... but its definately brought things to a head for me.

Thank you...Since you are so ready to accept the guilt and blame for the Gulf ..I am willing to blame it on you and your greedy arrogant attitude and lifestyle..If someones going take the blame I am glad you are willing to step up to the plate because I on the other hand feel no guilt..We are told everyday that we have no right to be happy while there is so much turmoil and suffering in the world. Since you are willing to shoulder the burden for all the worlds problems you now leave me free to bumble through life with the same degree of indifference I have become accustomed to.. So again I say Thank you

Living on the gulf coast of Florida I can say that I simply can't get over how incredible the impact of the deep water horizon spill is going to be... Lets hope they can stop it soon

Is starting to hate your camaro helping the situation, or making you feel better?

Not true... Your microwave, your lawnmower, your computer, your television, anything that operates on batteries, anything you own that is made of plastic, cleaning products, plastic bags, paint, anything aerosol....the list can go on...

Just sayin

BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY.

BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE OIL COMPANIES THAT GO HAND

AND HAND. WE COULD OF HAD ELECTRIC CARS 10 YEARS AGO THAT ARE AS FAST

OR FASTER THEN OUR CAMARO'S. BUT WE NEED THE "OPTION" TO BUY ONE. OUR

GOVERNMENT DID NOT WANT TO GO ELECTRIC BECAUSE THE OIL INDUSTRY GAVE

THEM TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS. IF YOU FEEL SO BAD THEN DON'T

DRIVE IT MUCH. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE READY TO BUY ELECTRIC CARS, BUT THEY COST

WAY TOO MUCH. IF OUR GOVERNMENT PUSHED FOR THIS YEARS AGO WE WOULD HAVE

AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC CARS NOW. BUT NO!!! EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY$$$GREED.

ANYWAY, ELECTRIC CARS ARE NOT THE ANSWER...

HYDROGEN IS THE ONLY ANSWER..

MAN I WISH I DIDN'T OPEN YOUR THREAD.......
