Don't look now, but that cat is putting his carbon footprints all over your floor.

Actually it is a shot (PSI) steel ball test

Are you one of those steel manicured finger nail martial artists?
 
..."Ah well, anyone got any auto related GW stuff? "...
 
Well, got another "SMOG ONLY" "random" test due on a 13 year old SUV. Any odds it will NOT pass with the SAME flying colors as the prior posted 15 year old SUV ?(same make/model different year)
 
I run both on 15,000 miles OCI's. The miles I have down this with these two vehicles exceeds 240,000 miles.

I know what the test is - it's just that the test didn't mean squat in my real world tests. Kinda like all you guys saying the computer models don't explain the 3' of snow that fell on your front lawn last night.

Indeed !!! There is a lot of hot air about this global warming stuff. Not to pick on AL GORE, but he probably has the carbon foot print of a min of 148 of my neighbors families each living in a 2000 sq foot house!!?? . Lessons taught/ learned? I need to consume more? Perhaps I should go to the Polish global warming meeting and let the peasants do the offsets?
 
So the Ford CEO instead of taking the private jet to Washington for the second round of begging, finally got it hammered into his head, It was announced on CNBC he will take a Ford Escape to attend the WASH DC. dog and pony shows. One pundit compared it to three CEO's going to a soup kitchen in tuxedos.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he had a break down? (see I told cha we shoulda flew the private but soon to be publically owned jet/s) The Chysler CEO knows better and will fly, albeit commercial! TSK ! Of course compared to how the President of the USA to to the Speaker of the House rolls.....
