    Guess I’m driving my 2010 Honda Accord and burns oil and leaks steering fluid a few more years.

    Should probably get the steering thing fixed.

      Yeah! Fuck the environment when your car wants to track which apps you use on it!

      *Edit: Lol you guys would be hilarious if the climate situation wasn’t so dire.

      Is it better for the environment to drive an old car?

      In conclusion, buying a used car may avoid the carbon emissions of manufacturing a new one – but you should also bear in mind the lower fuel economy, higher exhaust emissions, and ongoing maintenance requirements.

      So no, it’s not always better to just drive a leaky piece of shit forever instead of upgrading. The car you’re buying has already been made, it’s carbon been produced, and now you’re generating less emissions with the newer more efficient vehicle. This is pretty simple stuff to keep in mind next time you want to act smug about smog.

        I bet you it’s more environmentally friendly to keep driving a car you already have as opposed to getting a new one even if it’s “cleaner.”
