You're doing a lot more to save the planet by driving an old car and fixing it than buying a new one that gets 5 mpg more. People are dumb about this. Reuse is the most important thing. Buying a new prius is FAR worse than keeping on driving a 99 grand prix.

Unfortunately my government is also stupid about this and they’re going to raise my registration costs every year to get me to replace the car I drive under 5,000km annually with an electric car.

It would take driving my little car another 60 years at this rate to produce as much pollution as building a new electric car that won’t last 10.
