Scrapping your old car and building you a new one would pollute far more than the one you have now ever could. At least I know thats true of the "average" car. I dont know about a 7.3l beast, but I'd say it still holds true. Jesus, though, 7.3l? The smaller buses in Dublin city are only using 6l cummins engines. Is something like that actually fast on the take-off or is it just about pulling power? Im just curious cause Ive never driven anything that powerful.

I would have just told the biker how stupid he was for paying a few grand for 10lbs worth of aluminum.
