"Personally I have no need for a new vehicle; I'm proud to hold on to my own for as long as I can," said Johannes Rode, 69, a retired art and music teacher and owner of a 29-year-old red Volkswagen Beetle in Ramberg, a coastal town in northern Norway. "To do otherwise would be wasteful and play into the oil industry's hands."

What a deluded moron. The "oil industry" would want nother more than to him to hold on to his fuel inefficient old car. Not only that, but his old car probably produces as much pollution as 10-20 new vehicles. Whoever said that Liberalism was a mental disease is surely right.
