Well golly, I'm a degreed Marine Biologist.  Do you suppose it makes us 
knowledgeable about something?  At least to some degree?

Dido there too.  I feel that keeping these old vehicles on the road as 
the daily driver saves a great deal of energy and resources over the 
long run.  My two cars are 44 and 45 years old. Keeping them going as 
daily drivers is greener than buying a new "green machine" every few 
years.  Most people forget the resources and energy that goes into 
making new cars.

This works with someone chastising your old LBC as not being green.  If 
it is one thing I'm fairly good at it rationalizing my life choices.
