Are you overwhelmed by Carbon Guilt? Do you never actually do any serious driving in your car? If your answer to both these questions is "Yes, that's me!" consider converting your ride to electricity-only. They're clean, quiet, and it's easier to forget about the distant coal plant supplying electricity to your home than it is to ignore the disgusting plumes of smoke farted out by internal combustion engines.
There are a surprising number of options for those interested in getting an electric car, but it's conversion of an existing vehicle which is, unsurprisingly, the most interesting option. It'll cost about $7,000 in total, and the result is an emission-free, cheap-to-run vehicle that will never need an oil change. The resale is great, but it'll crap out after 60-80 miles and will struggle to hit speed limits on the highway.
