Yes in places like Australia there is hardly any water and it has been like that for thousands if not millions of years. Their eco-system has adapted to that little amount of water and introducing more water via car emissions would have no different of an effect then introducing more water through “Global Warming”

And yes while one car driven by one person only produces small amounts at a time, The worlds population of drivers driving those cars everyday will produce collectively massive amounts of fresh water.

Now lets take the example to the extreme (realistic nonetheless) Trains, Trucks, Buses, Farm EQ, All Bigger engines, all going to produce more water. Once again not really a bad thing when you think in a scale of maybe 100 people, but when you think on a Global scale that little bit of water really adds up.

Now lets go one more example, Planes. Naturally the water from those planes would be caught in the clouds and return to earth in the form of rain/snow. Well ok doesn’t seem so bad on the surface of things, but lets look a little deeper. That would create more rain/snow, which while some areas could use more water, too much is also bad. Now add in the fact that the earth would already be “wetter” due to every vehicle producing water, now that rain will fall on already saturated ground and cause flooding.

I actually lived in Australia for around 8 years (1991-2000) and water was never a major issue during those times. However in the 8 years since the water shortages are immense, with many cities expected to run out in 2010 unless an alternative is found. Im not sure what caused this, I remember in 1998 there was such a huge flood leaving my hometown of Wollongong under water for days. However a severe drought has failed to yield and such automotive solutions are needed. While many companies looked to fuel-cutting cars and new technologies, as mentioned above. GM continued to enjoy brisk sales of gas guzzling SUVs and were not prepared when the market changed beneath them like Toyota and Honda were.

You bring up some good points about water-producing vehicles in already moist areas. I don’t know what the solution is for that but in many parts of the world, a car that produces emissions of water would be much welcomed.

So Howie you will be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday too? Cool maybe we will bump into one another! I’ll be at the Chevy tent for sure those days. Can’t miss me. Moderately tall,muscular (or slightly overweight) shoulder length blonde wearing Tony Stewart hat and gear!

well since you like Tony I guess you will stop by the Toyota manufacturer display, you cant miss it it is the biggest one there and it has Dennys car up in the air around 25 feet.just go inside and see Clint or Sherry and tell them to beep me. I wont be far. get a SMOKE tatoo while you wait.

Howie how come you will be there on Tuesday if I may ask. Taking pictures? I won’t be there until Friday when the track opens. I drive a Ford Focus 4 cylinder with twin overhead cams. It doesn’t do bad on gas but I do drive 35 miles round trip to work every day.

I always get to the track 3-4 days before the race

Fisha;
that along with the unions biting the hand that feeds them and demanding pay (20+/hr) versus a non unionized company like toyota who pays 9/hr. They really are supporting American jobs there.
By the way my chevrolet Malibu was manufactured in Kansas by
GM workers getting over 20/hr before you all go on a non America. Company screamfest

? 9 An hour lol toyota pays a higher wage than ford or gm,the georgetown ky plant starting pay is 23.50 an hour.

on the CUV level im not so sure
