I ride for the exercise and enjoyment not any fruit cake political statement. I commute because it is the best way to make sure I get the cardio I need to try to prevent another heart attack.
When I started commuting there was a Beasty 454 powered 3/4 ton Suburban in the drive and a Toyota 4Runner on 33's that can crawl OVER a Preius (but it actually will get 24mpg on the hwy as it is geared to run that size tire). There is a 1970 Convertible LeMans (same body as Lance Armstrong's GTO) in my garage with a built 400 with a high rise intake and a Demon 750 that I hope will get 10mpg topping it off sitting on the stand next to it that will be coupled to a Munci. I will enjoy every bit of time that car turns tires into smoke with the very tight posi it has. Now a Mini van with a Blower is in the driveway.
I am all for better air quality but I do not believe Global warming crazyness is anything more then a Communist plot perpetrated to empty our pockets. People like Gore are the biggest hypocrites in the world and in 20 years we will be watching that shown in full on the history channel.
