Is An Old Volvo Green? 200 1985

Hi,


How many miles in a typical life cycle for a modern recall car? 100k? Remeber, Chrystler recalled 350K minivans today because of ‘‘Accidental’’ airbag deployment, which is just perfect for taking the kids to school. Recall Notice

If you’ve gone 200k then the energy used to make your old car becomes substantially less significant, thereby reducing your green effect with every mile.

I found that my 1977 Volvo 264 GL with it’s refurbished B23F engine puts out substantially less emissions then a new car, and esspecialy those here in Albuquerque, who have forgotten what maintenance is, through primarily financial functions.

I Failed My Emission Test (Goal) - Don’t Make the Same Mistake!

The above may be only true for me, and I expect your car might choke the neighbors newborn verily. Some auto aficionados have nothing but disdain for emissions output, as they are only interested in the fast and flash of a joke mobile (see carburetor). When the pretty little fake plastic cracks they have a tantrum and call it an atrocity, instead of worrying about the who and what of others as they drive.

So to answer your question, is your old Volvo green? - You tell me!
