My Oldsmobile is greener than any Prius because it was manufactured 28 years ago, meaning that so far it's lasted 3 times the life of the average car and that's 2 cars that didn't need to be manufactured and 2 cars that didn't have to be scrapped, along with whatever impact on the environment manufacturing and scrapping a car has.
