[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got a used suburban.  It's big.  The kids can mess it up.  Cheap to service.  The kind of car one will use and eventually lose. For environmental concerns we told ourselves that making a new car is more detrimental than simply reusing and old car. So we sleep at night.

Hahaha, no. Making a new car is a tiny fraction of the environmental impact and carbon emission of a cars lifecycle. [/quote]

Hahaha.  You sure??  https://www.abc27.com/news/environment/keeping-old-cars-longer-can-help-the-environment-more-than-buying-new-electric-cars-study-finds/amp/

Key word is the energy used to make all the bolts and metal etc. [/quote]

Yes I’m sure. I see your rando Uni with a National Lab. https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/green-life/2013/10/ask-mr-green-how-much-energy-make-new-car[/quote]

Look.  I love sierra club as much as you do.  But if given the chance to compare a page on a sierra club website to a peer reviewed study supported by a university setting....I'll choose the university.  There were 5 comments on the sierra club note---the most noteworthy being the guy who said that the energy used to bring/make all the parts isn't included.   [/quote]
