The government will not let car companies make the great old cars. They force the car companies to build fewer desirable cars using CAFE standards and soon we will be forced into econoboxes then self driving econo boxes. We can have the fun the democrats like but not the fun we like. Soon we will not be allowed to have cars at all. Cars represent freedom. Getting rid of cars gets rid of a great deal of freedom. This is what the dim’s have been after since the late sixties when we told them to stuff their mass transit ideas. Of course we can still build our own at least at present. Not that hard but I am getting too old build em... Maybe one more... Maybe.
That's what I really think the mandatory insurance and inspection laws are for. The more expensive and odious they can make the process of owning a vehicle the less likely we are to actually go through the pain of getting that freedom. Then we will all be living in Soviet style concrete apartment complexes that are close to mass transit.
