CEO of Ferrari claims Ferrari’s are greener than a prius.

Thats right folks. Breaking news! Ferrari's are greener than Prius' according to Ferrari's CEO Amedeo Felisa. He states;

"The combined emissions of all Ferraris sold in a year are less than those of all Toyota Prius sold in a year. So the net effect of Ferrari on global warming is less than a Prius."

That means that I can go and buy my GTR back and rest assured that because I don't drive it much, its better than the majority of Prius'.

What an idiot.

Cars cars cars

It looks like car manufacturers have made no great advances in fuel efficiency in the past half-century. Its not exactly shocking, no doubt they are all in bed with the oil companies anyway. The new Commodore is a perfect example of this. Lets give the average Aussie family a 6.0L V8 with 20" rims to drive the kids around... What a joke. And, as most Commodores are company cars for employee's that get tax benefits for the more they drive, its no doubt that our cars are contributing 14% of our carbon emissions.

Wake up Australia.

Cars no more efficient than 60's.
Tax breaks on company cars may go.

Holy Crap! This is funny stuff.

A kid smashes his dads built-to-order Ferrari F360. Anybody who has $400k to spare on a ferrari should be hunted down, or have his son run it into a pole. Thats funny.
Linky.

Reminds me of the Bentley dealership I walk past on the way to work that advertise their cars in the windows for between $400k and $600k and add 'Drive Away' to the signs! HAHAHA. Like anybody who has $600k to spend on a car gives a flying CRAP if it includes 'dealer and statutory charges'. What gimps.
