I've had it. The check engine light has come on again. Something is hanging down underneath the car and that cannot be good. I am off to purchase another vehicle.
I will have to learn how to drive without a contingency plan. So, I thought that I should let you know about the Road Rule Change that goes into effect today.
I am on the road; therefore, I own the road.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Further, I needed a theme song for day and the one in my head is this:
The only words that I remember are "head out on the highway". Really.
I thought you tended to be liberal and against global warming and pollution and all that?
I am a liberal. I have an eco mode for city traveling. And another button for not city traveling.
Well, just because your "check engine light" goes on again, and there is something hanging down from the car, that is no reason to get rid of your car. That is the worst kind of consumer culture and the worst contribution to destroying the planet, you do know that, right?
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Not throw away and get a new one. No where is this more important than the area of cars. If your car is anything less than fifteen years old, and you are liberal and going out to get a new one? Chances are, you only talk the talk and don't know what you are going on about.
Planned obsolesce and all that. Folks that constantly buy new cars b/c of little quirks are the ones that drive my auto mechanic nuts.
Did you know that the newer the model of vehicle, the more rare elements it possesses? This makes newer models more of a harm to the world economy. Both for their disposal, and for their production.
Who do you think mines and gathers those rare elements? Who do you think reclaims and recycles them? And if they aren't reclaimed, where do you think they go? What happens to them? Whose water and soil do you think they pollute? The harm done by the disposal of a 2000 Mustang is of far worse consequence than any CO2 belched out by repairing and keeping in service a 1965 Mustang, my auto-mechanic assures me of that.
Do us all a favor, get your car repaired. Don't put pressure on the world economy to make more cars, and harvest more resources thereby destroying the planet even further. We can debate global warming till we are both blue in the face, that is hypothetical, it isn't a fact.
However, we can SEE them digging up the Earth for resource extraction to make your new car.
