I was just wondering where do we go pick up our new company cars since we now own most of GOVERMENT MOTORS.:2::2:

[jfry1]

Haha no kidding. Does TSR pay for our pit passes now since we sponser his cars? At least some free shirts to his sponsers eh?

[sc96]

We should all get at least 2 free pit passes. I mean come on 50 billion ought to get us something.

Well, I think the such benefits should be based upon the amount of taxes paid by the individual. I think I got two seasons worth of pit passes coming.

Wont be so funny next year when the new leader thinks auto racing is putting to much co2 gasses into the atmosphere ! If they think a big car is the cause of global warming what do they think a sprint car is putting out!

The next move will be if you are drawing unemployment or a welfare check you will be expected to show up at one of the local GM (Government Motors) factories for your new job assignment. You will then be redistributed to China, Mexico or Japan to begin your new life. If you refuse to relocate you will be labeled not fit and your gov checks will be cut off.

It depends on the source they use to make the methanol. If it comes from vegetable sources, like the "wood alcohol" my racer uncles used to refer to, the green mafia wouldn't have a leg to stand on, because the CO2 emission is virtually zero. Methanol made from natural gas and coal would be a different story. None though have to be obtained through foreign sources, which currently is the point being used to drive this issue.

Well. . . . . Ideally, the products of perfect combustion are CO2 and water, regardless of whether the fuel is gasoline, ethanol or methanol. That is why the Greens don't have a leg to stand on with any of their arguments. Just like the contention that electric cars don't pollute. They sure do, and not even considering what has to be done to make the cars and the batteries. The batteries have to be charged from some kind of source. Most electricity in this country is produced by burning hydrocarbons. When that battery is charged up, it is burning fuel to do it. And less efficiently, since there are line losses between the power plant and the outlet, losses in charging the battery, etc.

Wind, solar and hydroelectric sources will never be able to replace the energy contained in fossil fuels. It just isn't possible. It would take one average wind generator over eighty years to produce enough energy to replace one single day's import of crude oil. Not one single day's energy consumption, just one single day's amount of imported crude.

It is too bad that ******** has corrupted science.

There. I am done. Sorry about that, but there was this soapbox here, and I just had to get on it for a minute or two.
