No kidding, maybe the reason why nations haven't insisted on more emissions reductions is because that act wouldn't have any noticeable effect on global temperature change. Maybe some of the brighter individuals involved have understood that reducing carbon emissions is just a nice way of redistributing global income. Maybe they see global socialism in action... Want to play with carbon emission and temperature reduction? Feeling lucky punk?

Let's talk about driving a Saab in Europe. back in the days Saab had a European pickup program where you would get 5% off list, two round trip coach tickets to the factory and shipment back to the sates. I picked up a 2001 9-5 Aero at the factory in Trollhaten and drove it for 3 weeks all over the place. From Sweden to Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brugge, Zurich, Vaduz and back through France to drop it off in Paris after 3500 mi at 120 mph every day. What a way to drive that car!!! At that speed it had unbelievable handling. Travel like this is something you can't really do in the US or even in the EU anymore...

Now almost 10 years later it has 110K and I can still get it over 110 on those lonely stretches.
Still looks pretty sharp and gets 30mpg. Pretty much regular maintenance. I love it and hope it lasts another 10 years.

GM did this "car train" thing as an advanced research project back in the late 1970's in Cincinnati, OH.
Couldn't find a link, but remember reading about it.
