Feeling guilty about driving like a maniac and spewing out tons of impurities from your E60? Well, now that I'm no longer trapping those nasty hydrocarbons after removing the extra filter, I feel a bit guilty. So here's what I'm doing about it ...

TerraPass

For $50 per year, I can wipe the slate clean ... not to mention keep the air clean.

Isn't the free-market a wonderful place?

The Ocean wather level will rise a few yards in 50 years,
so be sure to buy your house uphill for the children!

Compared to US SUVS your car is a low gas consuming one...

HAHAHAHAHAH they're funny. Stop selling SUVs or start charging them Gas Guzzler tax and I'll think about donating...

Can't wait to see the impact of all those batteries when they end up in land fills. And my little M Roadster put out more pollution than my V8 BMW's or my V8 SUV. And I'm still waiting for a Diesel BMW that I can buy and use BioDiesel to actually use a renewable fuel that is better than the dino-juice version.

Speaking of free market, don't pay them $50 for the stickers. I'll sell you some custom made sticker for half the price? Taking orders now folks . . . .

[/quote]Great idea B32. I'll partner with you.

And, Rr, we are only advocating doing our parts to foul the environment--like business, government, etc.
