    Save the Planet: Drive a Porsche

    "How a classic car can be greener than your Prius"

    http://www.slate.com/id/2233834/pagenum/all/#p2

    "In spring 2007, my wife and I sold our Volvo and committed to public transportation. Since then, it's been no traffic jams, no mechanics, no gasoline, and no insurance bills. With the money we saved, I started a "hot rod" bank account dedicated to making driving fun. Public transportation is paying for my Porsche."
