There should be a ban on all automobiles capable of more than 80 MPH and having one or more "racing" feature.

No one needs to travel faster than 80 MPH and it is a well documented fact that "speed kills".

Likewise street racing is a danger everyone. Any car that exhibits the following is deemed a race car and is banned:

- Racing stripes
- Race numbers and/or flashes
- Spoilers
- Racing tires
- Felt dice hanging from rear view mirror.

I strongly disagree. Not too long ago the nationally enforced speed limit was 55!. I recall driving big trucks in that era, many were governed not to exceed 55, which meant passing anything was extremely dangerous as we often have to go a little faster for a safe pass.

I recall leftist articles in Motor Trend in the early 80’s condemning Bronco’s & Blazers and as well as fast sports cares.

I recall when Ford had a good thing going with the first Mustangs, then did a complete flip-flop with the Euro Mustang with a cheezy little 4 banger which ruined the Mustang name.

I really think their idea of a peon class car is the Chevy Volt while the elite drive anything they want.

Was going through your list saying, that's not me, that's me, until I got to the dice. Now, I'm a criminal. Who knew it would be this easy?
