Like the SR71 the vehicle was made so that when its travelling at speed the heat generated by the friction of the air along the skin will close up all points where leakage occurs. Obviously you aren't driving your car fast enough!

Lib Dems plan a £2,000 road tax
The Liberal Democrats hope to change Britain's car-buying habits
The owners of cars which generate the most pollution would face annual road taxes of £2,000 under Liberal Democrat plans to tackle climate change.
The figure - 10 times the current rate - would cover high-end cars such as BMW's 7 series, Bentley Continentals and the four-by-four Porsche Cayenne.Comment

Like they're ever going to be in power!
Do you really think £2k is going to stop someone from driving a £150k Bentley?
I suppose it would be popular legislation for the (jealous)poor!Comment

They may as well announce it at £2,000,000 a year, they've got zero chance of ever getting elected.

As was pointed out on Newsnight earlier this week, even if Britain banned all car use tomorrow, the carbon emissions saved would be overtaken by the increase in carbon emissions produced by China in a mere 51 days.

People who take it for granted that China will be the dominant superpower in twenty years should ponder those figures, and ask themselves if it isn't much more inevitable that resource-wise and social-wise something will go pear-shaped big time in China before too long.Work in the public sector?

Forget about asking them to kindly fix the faults, they already know and don't care. So find some thugs, go round the dealership, and get medieval on their ass. It is the only way to ensure such faults are rectified.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
