Yes, I heard “Red Barchetta” is based on a real book. It has a futuristic sci-fi theme to it. In it, the “motor law” made internal combustion engines illegal, and the protagonist is a rebel who secretly drives an old car along country roads and almost gets caught.

In other words, the AOC/Mamdani regime - God forbid!

It was inspired by a short story in Road & Track magazine. I always loved “Red Barchetta,” but I only learned of the story about a year ago.

Here’s the short story:
