News, but not the serious kind
WARNING: I brake for gnats!
Blog Guy, the gas crisis is really hard on people here with big SUVs. I hear that over in Europe, they drive smaller cars – maybe like our sedans?
They’re a LOT more energy-responsible than that, my friend. Here are some traffic shots from Germany this week. As you can see, average folks can barely fit a single knee into one of their mid-size cars.
That’s amazing! I guess they never get up much speed?
Oh, that part is okay. Most German roads go entirely downhill. But it can get ugly when they have to steer themselves home from Oktoberfest.
But…but…I keep hearing about those German roads with no speed limit at all!
Sure. But they’re only two-feet-wide.

Ha! I’ve always wanted to shove a car up a greenpeace activist’s arse, and look – They’ve done it for me!
Well the entire car is strangely still visible, so I’m not quite sure they’ve done it for you…
I also enjoy bashing on people and their pursuits. Especially if they believe in something and are trying to make a change in the world. They’re pathetic right? They should really just be online making fun of people and their pursuits…
Hmm, guess that part about how they “Moderate all comments…” isn’t the case! Wee!
Emma, get real.
I was always curious about what the german strategy to curb carbon emissions was… now, that’s what I call agressive reduction of CO2 emissions! I’d like to see some of this in LA or Miami, for instance!
