I was driving this afternoon behind a late model Jeep Wrangler (very similar to the one I was driving) which had a bumper sticker that read :
This vehicle is 100% carbon neutral
My Wrangler uses a lot of gas. A vehicle like that needs to have a large engine which can drive up steep surfaces on rough terrain. Why would anyone wanting to look like a pussy buy a Jeep Wrangler? That is what Subaru is for.

Has no desire to make sacrifice for the cause that affect his life style but must find a way to deal with the guilt.
Well, it’s only putting CO2 in the air that was taken from the air in the first place, isn’t it? So what if there’s a few million years delay in the cycle?
Perhaps it was tongue in cheek, piss take irony…oh wait, America hmmm!
?! I love Subaru. Incredible little cars. Drove nothing else for 20+ winters in Alaska. First one made it to 280+ thousand miles and all we ever did beyond basic maintenance was change the clutch. Always got me home, no matter how cold, no matter how much snow, ice and wind. Jeeps and Dodges were for summer, when winter came we got out the Subaru!
In Colorado, Subaru ownership is a political statement.
Yet another reason not to live in Colorado.
I second the part about winter performance. I had an impreza a number of years ago, and I’ve never driven anything better when there’s snow on the streets. Probably not the best clearance (it wouldn’t have handled a multifoot heavy snow we had last year), but stopping and starting on snowy streets it’s easily the best I’ve ever driven. The only thing to worry about was stopping too quickly for whoever was behind you.
Very good little cars.
I live in Virginia and I don’t give a rat’s ass if someone thinks my Subaru is a “political statement.” I bought it so I could get out of my on-street parking places without having to shovel the snow out from under my entire car and then bang into the cars parked in front and back of me trying to get out. I hold myself personally responsible for ensuring no significant snowfall occured here for over 5 years after I bought that car.
Here is a bumper sticker I made… It’s one way to sequester a particularly nasty form of carbon in way most beneficial to the public at large…

I drive my Chrysler around Berkeley with a sticker that says “Hydrocarbon powered Eco-vehicle.” And yes, the statement is tongue-in-cheek and meant to be a 3 Stooges eye-poke to the smug liberals driving hybrids and smart cars.
Mike: I’ll be adding your sticker as soon as it arrives in the mail.
My 1997 Ford Explorer gas guzzler has a bumper sticker that says “Powered By Hydrogen-Loaded Nanorods”. I used to have people regularly ask where I had the engine modified to run on hydrogen, back when Mercedes said automotive fuel cells were commercial, around 2001.
😆 Too funny!
Jeep: Well, it’s a serviceable substitute if you can’t get a Land Rover.
