I don’t know how you manage to put together such intense content on a regular basis, but this one was something special, well done.
People really seem to have become so tribal that they have lost the ability to determine which hills are worth dying on and which are not worth their time.
Agreed.
It's been like that since like 2005 or so. People are noticing it now that it's getting legislated into laws. Before it was only on the internet. And if you look at the history if that bs it's been there since the 1980 in the academia. I personally came out of USSR after it's fall. We are at the point in time where USSRS would be jealous of the monitoring and regulation of though of the aparatus behind everything. And it really saddens me of the current state of the world. The world is repeating the history in how "moustache" man came to power and we are living it right now.
💯 agreement with you, the thought police are here.
@@AutoExpertJC disagreed mate. Woke is not a bad word. You are behaving like a boomer
@@daznishmmmm maybe due to the fact that people are suffering
Today, John, pure unadulterated gold.
It's beyond therapeutic to know I'm not utterly alone.
I do admire an educated mans sarcastic sense of humour, keep up the good work John, you’re a legend!!
Keep being extreme John, we are many such sane people standing shoulder to shoulder with you.
Say that in Afghanistan
Duddddd!
Dear John . I try not to have heroes' as I become older and hopefully wiser . Unfortunately you are becoming one for me . Well , that is to say your natural ability to break down topics and automotive "folly" has led to me being a HUGE fan of your work . A superb spray to start 2024 . Thank you .
And the person running the country thinks your electric car will charge over night with solar panels 🤔 we are truly fu#ked……
Actually very sad that we have ended up like this.
Such people think that it’s a brilliant idea to put solar panels on cars, because there’s so much solar flux and solar cells are so efficient that such panels can provide most of the power a car needs to run.
I think a battery added to the rooftop solar array was implied there. Albo isn't a very good communicator. Yet another hopeless politician.
Mate, it's 100 percent doable, just the cost of the battery storage is 4 times the price of solar panels..the rich can afford it just like they can afford electric cars.
I've had graduate-level engineering students propose to add flat solar panels to the roof of an ICE-powered car in order to improve mileage by using the PV system to strictly run an electric heat pump and blower for the HVAC system. I've had clowns from the city try to use solar panels to run infrared heaters in the open bus stops in the middle of winter. They launch these shit ideas effortlessly on a ballistic arc of wasted money without even consulting a napkin. You don't want to know what the kids studying climate science ask to do when their "data" doesn't produce the same graph they were "told to match". I can only wonder what it's like in the med school. Yeah. Doomed.
When the truth is treated as 'extremism' then the world really is screwed.
Source ? Proof ?
Who decided what is truth
And who decided who is extremist ?
Everyone has their own truth, there are so many factors, ideologies, priorities, perceptions etc etc. Especially when it comes to these kinda grey area topics. Who says your “truth” is 100%?
@@kelvinwong829 We are talking verifiable, repeatable scientific and engineering truths here, not some woke 'my truths'....
@@chrissmith2114 well it's not, there hasn't been enough time to form those kind of solid and statistically significant data for one "truth" to be evident yet. And also, marking everything as "woke" makes you sound incapable of critical thinking and, frankly, dumb and backwards
@@kelvinwong829 Ideologies, priorities and perceptions have nothing to do with facts and verifiable scientific evidence. This is why the world is going tits up. You can live in your little fantasy world but it will come crashing down around you. Engineering and science (not the science to suit an agenda) is founded on a great deal of mathematics and experiments to prove an outcome. It has nothing to do with anyone’s opinions or unicorn fairy dust.
I love being an 'Extremist.'
Almost like it's the norm 😄
I’m the guy at the back of the class rapidly punching his hand in the air when the teacher asks who’s an extremist. When I was a young boy in the late 60’s I frequented the Domain on Sundays to listen to an orator known as Webster, your articulation took me back to that time. Thanks.
Thanks for the video John. It is 100% accurate, absolutely hilarious and something all parents, politicians and extremists should watch. From a fellow extremist.
Been on this planet 61 years,
That was the best one finger salute I’ve ever seen.
Thanks John, luv ya work man ✌️
Some of your best work John - had me rolling due to excessive extremist idiology - Cheers mate keep up the good work
Thank you, Ian.
A great oration. Superior to Burke, Lincoln or Churchill. Pig Latin for style points would have been perfection.

@@stevencooper2339 Sorry to say, not a great summary. Have you seen any research on climate change and C02, other than that which fits the MSM narrative? There is precious little real debate. I wonder why that is.

John, thanks for putting critical thinking ahead of critical theory.
Think about this critically.
The greenhouse effect is overwhelmingly dominated by water vapour (97%) all other gases contribute 3%, man contributes 3% to the increase in C02, which makes up .04% of the air.
You'd have to be a bit soft in the head to think that man's CO2 has any significant effect on the weather.
@@axeman2638 Except that 3% is absolutely critical.
Complaining that the margin is unimportant because you don’t understand its significance is not the same as disapproving its significance.
@@GeeeAus Absolute rubbish, man's co2 has no measurable effect on the climate.

46 enlightening statements by IPCC, or former IPCC, experts against what the IPCC writes in its reports:
Dr Robert Balling: The IPCC notes that “No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.” This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.
Dr Lucka Bogataj: “Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.”
Dr John Christy: “Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.”
Dr Rosa Compagnucci: “Humans have only contributed a few tenths of a degree to warming on Earth. Solar activity is a key driver of climate.”
Dr Richard Courtney: “The empirical evidence strongly indicates that the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is wrong.”
Dr Judith Curry: “I’m not going to just spout off and endorse the IPCC because I don’t have confidence in the process.”
Dr Robert Davis: “Global temperatures have not been changing as state of the art climate models predicted they would. Not a single mention of satellite temperature observations appears in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.”
Dr Willem de Lange: “In 1996 the IPCC listed me as one of approximately 3000 “scientists” who agreed that there was a discernible human influence on climate. I didn’t. There is no evidence to support the hypothesis that runaway catastrophic climate change is due to human activities.”
Dr Chris de Freitas: “Government decision-makers should have heard by now that the basis for the long-standing claim that carbon dioxide is a major driver of global climate is being questioned; along with it the hitherto assumed need for costly measures to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. If they have not heard, it is because of the din of global warming hysteria that relies on the logical fallacy of ‘argument from ignorance’ and predictions of computer models.”
Dr Oliver Frauenfeld: “Much more progress is necessary regarding our current understanding of climate and our abilities to model it.”
Dr Peter Dietze: “Using a flawed eddy diffusion model, the IPCC has grossly underestimated the future oceanic carbon dioxide uptake.”
Dr John Everett: “It is time for a reality check. The oceans and coastal zones have been far warmer and colder than is projected in the present scenarios of climate change. I have reviewed the IPCC and more recent scientific literature and believe that there is not a problem with increased acidification, even up to the unlikely levels in the most-used IPCC scenarios.”
Dr Eigil Friis-Christensen: “The IPCC refused to consider the sun’s effect on the Earth’s climate as a topic worthy of investigation. The IPCC conceived its task only as investigating potential human causes of climate change.”
Dr Lee Gerhard: “I never fully accepted or denied the anthropogenic global warming concept until the furore started after NASA’s James Hansen’s wild claims in the late 1980s. I went to the [scientific] literature to study the basis of the claim, starting with first principles. My studies then led me to believe that the claims were false.”
Dr Indur Goklany: “Climate change is unlikely to be the world’s most important environmental problem of the 21st century. There is no signal in the mortality data to indicate increases in the overall frequencies or severities of extreme weather events, despite large increases in the population at risk.”
Dr Vincent Gray: “The [IPCC] climate change statement is an orchestrated litany of lies.”
Dr Mike Hulme: “Claims such as ‘2500 of the world’s leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate’ are disingenuous … The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was only a few dozen.”
Dr Kiminori Itoh: “There are many factors which cause climate change. Considering only ‘greenhouse gases’ is nonsense and harmful.”
Dr Yuri Izrael: “There is no proven link between human activity and global warming. I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate.”
Dr Steven Japar: “Temperature measurements show that the climate model-predicted mid-troposphere hot zone is non-existent. This is more than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them.”
Dr Georg Kaser: “This number [of receding glaciers reported by the IPCC] is not just a little bit wrong, it is far out by any order of magnitude … It is so wrong that it is not even worth discussing.”
Dr Aynsley Kellow: “I’m not holding my breath for criticism to be taken on board, which underscores a fault in the whole peer review process for the IPCC: there is no chance of a chapter [of the IPCC report] ever being rejected for publication, no matter how flawed it might be.”
Dr Madhav Khandekar: “I have carefully analysed adverse impacts of climate change as projected by the IPCC and have discounted these claims as exaggerated and lacking any supporting evidence.”
Dr Hans Labohm: “The alarmist passages in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers have been skewed through an elaborate and sophisticated process of spin-doctoring.”
Dr Andrew Lacis: “There is no scientific merit to be found in the Executive Summary. The presentation sounds like something put together by Greenpeace activists and their legal department.”
Dr Chris Landsea: “I cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.”
Dr Richard Lindzen: “The IPCC process is driven by politics rather than science. It uses summaries to misrepresent what scientists say and exploits public ignorance.”
Dr Harry Lins: “Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now. The case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated.”
Dr Philip Lloyd: “I am doing a detailed assessment of the IPCC reports and the Summaries for Policy Makers, identifying the way in which the Summaries have distorted the science. I have found examples of a summary saying precisely the opposite of what the scientists said.”
Dr Martin Manning: “Some government delegates influencing the IPCC Summary for Policymakers misrepresent or contradict the lead authors.”
Steven McIntyre: “The many references in the popular media to a ‘consensus of thousands of scientists’ are both a great exaggeration and also misleading.”
Dr Patrick Michaels: “The rates of warming, on multiple time scales, have now invalidated the suite of IPCC climate models. No, the science is not settled.”
Dr Nils-Axel Morner: “If you go around the globe, you find no sea level rise anywhere.”
Dr Johannes Oerlemans: “The IPCC has become too political. Many scientists have not been able to resist the siren call of fame, research funding and meetings in exotic places that awaits them if they are willing to compromise scientific principles and integrity in support of the man-made global-warming doctrine.”
Dr Roger Pielke: “All of my comments were ignored without even a rebuttal. At that point, I concluded that the IPCC Reports were actually intended to be advocacy documents designed to produce particular policy actions, but not a true and honest assessment of the understanding of the climate system.”
Dr Paul Reiter: “As far as the science being ‘settled,’ I think that is an obscenity. The fact is the science is being distorted by people who are not scientists.”
Dr Murry Salby: “I have an involuntary gag reflex whenever someone says the science is settled. Anyone who thinks the science is settled on this topic is in fantasia.”
Dr Tom Segalstad: “The IPCC global warming model is not supported by the scientific data.”
Dr Fred Singer: “Isn’t it remarkable that the Policymakers Summary of the IPCC report avoids mentioning the satellite data altogether, or even the existence of satellites - probably because the data show a slight cooling over the last 18 years, in direct contradiction of the calculations from climate models?”
Dr Hajo Smit: “There is clear cut solar-climate coupling and a very strong natural variability of climate on all historical time scales. Currently I hardly believe anymore that there is any relevant relationship between human CO2 emissions and climate change.”
Dr Richard Tol: “The IPCC attracted more people with political rather than academic motives. In AR4, green activists held key positions in the IPCC and they succeeded in excluding or neutralising opposite voices.”
Dr Tom Tripp: “There is so much of a natural variability in weather it makes it difficult to come to a scientifically valid conclusion that global warming is man made.”
Dr Gerd-Rainer Weber: “Most of the extremist views about climate change have little or no scientific basis.”
Dr David Wojick: “The public is not well served by this constant drumbeat of alarms fed by computer models manipulated by advocates.”
Dr Miklos Zagoni: “I am positively convinced that the anthropogenic global warming theory is wrong.”
Dr Eduardo Zorita: “Editors, reviewers and authors of alternative studies, analysis, interpretations, even based on the same data we have at our disposal, have been bullied and subtly blackmailed.”
@@axeman2638Expert climate scientists - extremist, STEM-driven, anti-bullshitter types - have thought critically and conducted scientific research into this. They have published thousands of papers on this topic (human-induced impact on the climate) in peer-reviewed scientific journals. For more than 30 years, there has been universal agreement amongst climate scientists that the increase in CO2 from human activity affects the weather.
I think you've missed the point of this video and should probably rewatch it (especially around the 12-minute mark). There are no alternative facts. The facts also don't care about your feelings or opinions, your Facebook News and RUclips feeds, your level of understanding or the softness of your head.
Extremist eh? Welcome to the club.
Wow not a good club
I am so proud of Albo!! He has come up with the solution finally. You just convert the solar panels to charge using Albo's Dark Energy after sunset. Brilliant!!! 👍
What a wanker Albo is, using your solar panels to charge your electric car overnight, statements like this just go to show how stupid the labor party has become. We must get rid of all Labor Governments as soon as possible before they ruin the best country in the world.
Maybe "dark energy" can work in concert with "the dark web" to point the way to a "net zero future".
Albo actually said it..... Solar Cells on your roof to charge your electric car at night.

Happy New Year to you John and all who watch your channel. Thank you for the years of informative enlightenment. Keep up the great work.
I watched a guy post yesterday that the battery in his family 7 seater EV was kaput - at 6.5 years old and 86K miles. He’s massively into his EVs, solar etc but at least one comment suggesting that he was just feeding the trolls. Lots of helpful comments of course that he hadn’t done his research or he could just pop over to Holland where there’s a guy who could fix it - interesting drive of 400 miles plus ferry in a vehicle with 20 mile range. Presumably then fly home, wait, fly out pick it up etc.
It would be cheaper to LS swap it lol
Thanks John for this video. Watched it with my 17 year old daughter. You have set straight the reality of what would really happen, if we did "just stop oil" over night.
Somehow, she gets it, but countless, educated adults are on another planet.
We thank you extremely.

Over the years of watching you I have always thought you extreme. Extremely informative, extremely factual and at times extremely funny...and lets not forget your undisputed ability to exercise an extremely brilliant razor sharp wit heavily seasoned with sarcasm at times. Keep up the good work.
Crikey, John, you forgot about the attempted invasion of Australia by Hirohito's Imperial Army. It occurred on February the 19th, 1942. Fortunately for all Australians, we were equipped with slightly more than just pointy sticks, this time. While we might have still been somewhat unprepared for the assault, we were at least able to make it somewhat more challenging for the Japanese, using the limited armaments that those pesky Englishmen allowed us criminal convicts to possess, and speers, of course, out of respect for the original owners of the land.
History has its place alongside STEM subjects, lest it repeats.
was a good thing for the Aboriginals too as there would be none on earth if whitey did not make land in 1788 and no welfare in 2024! And for me too for I would not have existed.
Japan could not invade Australia because of their commitment to controlling China. Overextended is the word tho they almost overextended us because our forces were committed to the ‘empire’ busy protecting the British empire around the Med. But we pulled our weight helping to throw out the silly Japanese with great mutual violence restoring Asian colonies to their white masters.
Meanwhile, in Oz because Curtin had surrendered our sovereignty to MacArthur we were left convinced that the US “saved” us without our help- MacArthur was in charge of all military propaganda/information and a bullshit narrative was written.
Albo is the latest to give away our sovereignty . Do we really want to have a war with china? We’ll end up looking like ukraine or syria or iraq or GAZA.
China being a better friend than the Washington- yeah but they are not white is not an excuse to be stupid.
Sorry. Factually incorrect. Archives prove that during the war the Japanese had no intention of invading Australia. This may have changed if they'd won, but even Yamamato knew that this was impossible.
What about the invasion of all those rabbits.

Shocking Tainted Extremist Mindset ... is probably what many people think John means ...
I had no idea what a extremist was so this is what ChatGPT told me. Thanks John happy new year.
An extremist is someone who holds extreme or radical views, typically pertaining to political, religious, or social ideologies. Extremists often advocate for drastic and often uncompromising measures to advance their beliefs, and they may be willing to use violence or other extreme methods to achieve their goals. Extremism can manifest in various forms, such as political extremism, religious extremism, or ideological extremism.
It's important to note that not everyone with strong or passionate beliefs is necessarily an extremist. Extremism generally involves a willingness to go to extremes, often disregarding the rights and opinions of others and rejecting moderation or compromise. In many cases, extremism is associated with intolerance and a lack of willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with those who hold different views.
"...disregarding the...opinions of others and rejecting moderation or compromise." And there is a large part of the problem - facts don't bend to compromise or opinion. If one viewpoint is factual and the other is not, then no compromise can issue without the result also being non-factual. This definition can only be functional when it compares two different _opinions,_ and so is inherently flawed when referencing opinion vs. fact.
PS: of course, it's also silly to expect ChatGPT to reliably come up with a factual statement - it's renowned for hallucination and fictional results.
Sounds like the Wiambeela Trump cult extremists
@@aussiebloke609And most science is bought results, I pay for a result and the lab flubs around until they get the result I ordered. Facts are just harder to come by these days.

I always thought that Australia Day on January 26. That should be called New South Wales Day. The REAL Australia Day should be the first of January because on that day 1901 the federation of the 6 colonies was established with Melbourne as its temporary capital until Canberra was built.
Yeah if you research it there where several dates used in the past but Jan 26th 1948 is when Aborigines became citizens and we became one nation.
Love your work, John. And, happy birthday J.C.
Thank you John! You have earned my undying respect for this video.
It’s disappointing that post referendum there are still people causing friction and division. The increasing number of councils that are not allowing citizenship ceremonies on January 26 is unreal.
It might not have been the voice they wanted but the voices of Australians should be heard and respected.
Anyway I wish we could move on and address the real issues most people are concerned about.
Ha ha, I'm just 20kms North of the Murray and here's the issue now. 👉On the eve of the referendum back in October, a truck hit the barrier of a bridge in the Tocumwal bends- the truck went off the bridge and the whole road was blocked for a few days. So here we are in January and the bridge still has emergency traffic lights forcing all traffic back and forth on the one safe lane. 💣 And why is this? Because Vic doesn't have the money to fix the bridge due to the Vic government's $200bn debt. *This won't be fixed unless the Vic Government borrows more money to fix it.* 💪 If this was Japan, it would have been fixed within 3 days. 🧠 I suggest this is a foreshadowing of what is coming to Victoria in 2024 for if there is another big natural disaster, only the federal government can deal with it, with borrowed federal money of course.
@alexanderpowell1528 I though us just getting g the bruce hiway fixed and upgraded between Gympie and Cairns was hard, it seems the cities only give a fuck about themselves.
I work near an aboriginal community and have met and worked with many of the residents . During conversation with them over the last few years not one person was interested in Australia day or flags or voices , but instead very concerned about their children and how to create some kind of future for them , no easy task but token virtue signaling from city council types certainly won't do much.
Canada has the same BS issues as Australia..unfortunately..
They forget that Jan 26th 1948 is the day Aborigines finally became accepted as Citizens and we truly became one nation.
Person with indigenous heritage here.....not speaking for anyone except myself.
Facts are that we (indigenous Australians), like every other human, came from somewhere else. We were first here, but we'd be naive to think that just because you are first to something, doesn't give you ownership. I also have Anglo lineage, my forebears migrating here 110 years ago, just as with each passing year hundreds of thousands of other new Australians arrive. In my mind we are all 'brothers & sisters', we all share a common ancestry and therefore, we all have equal claims on this great nation. At the end of the day, we can no more really own the land we walk on than the air we breathe. We are all temporary custodians.
It's time to forgive the sins of the fathers and move forward to improve our country as one people, united for the betterment of ALL those in need.
Here fuckin here, good onya.
No one owns the land, only the most powerful control it.
Nothing is forever and that includes the powerful that think they have control.
The Earth itself has the total control and it will be here a damn long time after what humans or other beings may have of it.
Your possum skin garment will be taken away from you for such blasmephy

Happy belated birthday John, great video.
When your 14 year old daughter tells you "Dad you can't say that, not appropriate!" while saying it 'as it is' in an observational context, and then telling you that at school they have tutorials on what I can only describe as 1984 Newspeak, you begin to despair of the indoctrination of the younger generations given that they cannot even discuss issues that are not deemed acceptable. I like to think I am their antidote to woke and can act as a counter balance to the avalanche of woke they are exposed to.
Also, appreciate that you replied to me in the comments and by email.
Damn it, it seems like I'm an extremist too! I blame my parents, they were always talking to me as a child, think they said, think and you can do it by yourself. And if I couldn't do it the first time, they told me to try again, maybe giving some hint of what might be the problem. I wish Ipads had been around then, I could've just got the solution handed to me... but no, I hand to interact with the people around me, I had to explain what I wanted, form my thoughts into words so that people understood me and then it became a conversation, so much interaction with others just so I could start my journey to independence, there in the distant future... Cheers to all of you out there who just doesn't swallow everything hook, line and sinker! 😊
Happy new year, John. 😄
Enjoyed this very much!!
Best video to date John. 🇦🇺 just be happy we are here in the lucky country
Colour me extremist. Over the past 10 years I've somehow gone from being a "bleeding heart" to "literally Hitler", yet my political and social views haven't changed a single bit.
Happy New Year, John.
Happy new year champ and sympathize with your condition
Well said (as usual) Mr Cadogan.
Most of the (well intended) woke folk out protesting about things done in bygone ages simply can't accept the fact that, had they been around then, they would have have been doing the same terrible things.
We can learn from the past, but we can't change it - Nor are we entitled to sit in judgement of those who lived in it.
As you say, all we can do is try to improve our lot going forward, and science and critical thinking are most definitely the key... a pity so many of our so called "leaders" were wagging school when they were taught.
Big Brother is watching. The wrong think is off the scale here.
This is my number 1 favourite vid from you.... ever!!!! Great to see you are back John!! 🙂
Love your work.
I was going tomake a comment but everything i wanted to say has been posted much better than I could have done. Thsnks for presenting the truth so clearly.
Love your Views, Keep It Up Mate 😁
John I want to congratulate you on the best New Years present that I could have this year, and we are not even close to the end! lol
As always your concurrent philosophy is most appreciated by "your fellow" extremists, "Onward and upward until they through dirt in your face" Of course I mean no disrespect in this - RESPECT Always.
John, my only criticism of this video is that you weren't wearing your MALS cap!
Keep up the good work! Oh, and the Ming Moles please! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Badge of honour, Ozzie mate!
Extreme?, what the late 80s hair band. I didn’t notice you JC you’ve must of been the drummer
Thank You John, from one extremist to another, well done!!!
I wish I could give you 1000 thumbs up for this one John.
The failure of the recent referendum is not surprising. Over 90% of constitutional referenda in Australia fail. You need a majority of voters in a majority of states to carry a referendum. Only those with bi-partisan support like the 1967 indigenous citizenship usually succeed.
So good John. No one gets more punished that the truth teller.
Extremist , somehow I must be one to as I keep returning for more of your brilliant work 😂 hats off to you and keep doing what you’re doing, and a thank you as well many things you cover are easy listening and informative and it’s great to have a real person in the same world as in fellow extremist’s
I love how extremist is ok for white people . But not ok if ,i don't know , from a certain region
I'm an extremist that's done a few extra courses and has now graduated to part time conspiracy theorist. My thesis was on how our weapons grade ignorance and gullibility has in itself been weaponised. I've studied and worked in STM but missed out on the E, from my memory of uni, the E's were bigger drinkers, and may well be the unhappiest people in society right now because real things appear to matter less than misconceived thought bubbles.
Well said John! We are the quiet majority. Just as there is an automotive industry, the woke industry has emerged and surged. If one dares to voice a contrary opinion, in the good old days there would be a respectful non-partisan debate and we’d move on. Now if you voice an opinion and it’s against the thoughts of the woke, then all hell breaks loose and the sheer anger involved is on another level simply for voicing a dissenting opinion. Keep up the good work John. In the words of another John, You’re the voice!
Offense is taken, not given. So fuck em.
Majority maybe - but disengenuous to suggest you are 'quiet'
@@Undies790 nice one Ricky
Greenest and cheapest way to get a car is fix an old one
