An airport worker said: “This car doesn’t have a carbon footprint – more of a crater.”

Oh shut up, you self righteous little twit.

I envy this guy! I mean IMAGINE the size of his “carbon footprint.” The thought alone is making me drool.

If I had the money I’d do the same AND pay for a greenie reporter to go with the car so they can document it!

Other than the weight of the vehicle compared to the weight of the mechanics, how would flying out mechanics be that much more less of an impact on the environment? Such idots!

Wonder if they tried to sell him fuel injector cleaner, new belts and hoses, air filter, etc.?

I also wonder if he got the free little garbage bag and cardboard air freshener?

heck, he can fly that over to me and I’ll change the oil for free. Of course the turn around time might be longer and no guarantee on the mileage.

According to this article, the car weighed 45 tons. That probable cost extra to fly.

Sheikh sent his 190,000-pound car on a 6,500-mile round trip to Britain

I was in DC yesterday and saw airplanes from Saudia Arabia and Qutar there. Made me wonder how much they are paying the dems to keep us from drilling here.

For a lousy 3,000 pounds, you expect a free air filter? Remember, this was the dealership, not Jiffy Lube.

So, how much extra fuel was expended since this was a scheduled flight? I am betting not as much as the author, and those he spoke to, would like us to think.

$7,000 for an oil change?

Yeah, but being a high performance sportscar, it probably uses that expensive oil, like Castrol GTX 20W50.......

Hey, I think I recognize those tires?

From the Alaskan “snow train” weren’t they?
