My favorite car ever was my 1986 Toyota Corolla manual. It was my mom's first and then I inherited it in the late 90s. The tire rod snapped one day and it slammed into a parked car. I was more devastated about losing the car than I was what it would cost me in damages.
I drive an automatic now. A Prius. I don't regret it because it's a really good car and was a really good investment in terms of savings on gas, but I do miss that Corolla and I really miss the feeling of control I had when I drove a manual.
i remember reading a study when Prius first came out. Over the life of the car, meaning from construction of the parts, to end of life of the vehicle, a Prius pollutes more than a Hummer.
If it sounds wrong, it probably is wrong so you should check snopes first.
A Prius polluting more than a Hummer is based on bad research that's so bad it's an outright lie.
Some of the nonsense in the paper was that a Prius would be completely dead at 109,000 miles while a Hummer would last for 379,000 miles. Another was charging the R&D to develop the Prius as environmental damage while ignoring the Hummer R&D. And last was the claim that the nickel in the Prius was an environmental nightmare despite it being recyclable and that the Hummer uses more nickel in its chassis than the Prius uses in its battery!
But Rush Limbaugh talked about the paper as if it was gospel so the lie lives on forever.
Why is that? I would expect an SUV to pollute more, both in production and over its life span.
take into account that parts are made for the prius in a number of different countries and shipped via boat to one country for partial assembly, then to another for final assembly. not only that, but the mining done for the battery components etc.
Okay? I got it because it's saving me a lot of money.
good on you. just don't be fooled into thinking it's saving the environment too.
