Not sure if I really like the the term autobesity....
How about autoaddicts instead. I think that more accuratly describes those addicted to OIL.


Motor vehicles are the principal cause of ozone air pollution and contribute to about one-third of our global warming gas emissions.

What about electric vehicles. While I do NOT have 100k to buy a Tesla roadster, I did do the next best thing. I built my own EV. See www.zevutah.com for details on my projects.

My EV is fueled by a small off grid solar system that I also built myself. My contribution to global warming with the EV and solar system is a fraction that of a normal car.

I am not the only person in the world building an EV. Take a look at

There are hundreds of people out there doing the right thing to get off of oil. Come on in and join the fun.

I like the term "autobesity", because everyone in this country is ridiculously fat;thier houses are fat, their cars are fat, thier children are fat, their dogs are fat, their horses are fat, and their cows are fat....

Call a pig a pig.

I would call it "autofat", but that would be confused by the hip-hop fans into "autophat" in Bizarro world.
