I am all for saving the planet.  It makes for great cocktail chatter in the Hamptons. Little Kids think you are hip.  And women lap it up. Hell, I might even put some money in the Winslow Green Growth Fund. But the movement is starting to scare me. The environmentalists want to take our sports cars away.

Fast, powerful cars within a few years may be outlawed in Europe, an idea that has been raised ostensibly because Ferraris and Porsches produce too much carbon dioxide. For those who abhor sports cars as vulgar symbols of affluence (along with vacation homes, furs and fancy jewelry), such a ban could be a two-fer: Saving the planet while cutting economic inequality.

It must be a delayed backlash from the Flaming Ferrari’s. All it takes its one bad apple to ruin it for the rest of us.

Cutting CO2 or a Sneak Attack on Porsche, Ferrari?
