My dad's got a 2,000lb relic from 1998 that emits 155g/km. They're about to ban it. Meanwhile the neighbor just dropped $50k on a 5,500lb hybrid tank pushing 400 horsepower that emits 232g/km, and gets a green sticker, free parking, and a clear run through downtown.

This was never about lowering emissions. It's about proving you can afford a luxury yacht on wheels and a label that absolves you. My dad needs that car for doctor's appointments. The neighbor uses his to go to the gym. Anyone else got a story like this or am I the only one who thinks this counts as climate policy?
