STILL LAUGHING-McCARTNEY'S LEXUS HYBRID

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,355660,00.html
it was the equivalent of driving the lexus around the world 300 TIMES!
they say there's no way that the car will ever get to the break- even point (environmentally speaking), of McCartney just going down to a lexus dealership in England, and buying the regular old gas guzzling model of the same vehicle!

Well... I guess it's still greener than Dodge flying him a Viper. But like celebrities in general, it's all an act to make a point rather than an outcome. I admire the desires of the greenies. I like fresh air as much as I like clean water. Being the hypocrite I am, I also like my gas guzzling polluting Ram. Just finished a juicy pork chop too! If gas gets too expensive, I may opt for a Corolla but it ain't there yet...

He did not buy it. It was a gift from Lexus for something Paul did.

Hey! How come our mighty Cummins aren't measured in gallons? What would our 5.9's be? A 1.6 gallon?

Time to change my sig.
