California will be banning the use of older ICE vehicles from their roads they already ban diesels older than model year 2010 without retrofits to a modern MY2010 engine or newer. He is smart to future proof his cars. I’d just change the Jets in the carbs to run E85 add a big a$$ supercharger and nearly triple my HP all the while keeping the CARB goons happy it’s biofuel guys you like biofuels right. It will be illegal to sell a ICE car by 2035 in California and 12 other states who also.signed on with them. VW,BMW, Benz, KIA, GM all said they will exit by 2035 the ICE industry some as soon as 2030. BMW and KIA both have stopped all engine development the engines they have now are their last ICE engine lines the transition is happening once the big boys decided like VW,BMW, BENZ that was the signal to the industry it’s happening get on board or be left behind. The PE ratio of a tesla is so high the whole industry wants to get in on it. Remember cars were originally a.luxury for the upper middle classes and upper classes the auto makers are just as happy selling one $60,000 car with a stellar P&A ratio vs three $20000 cars in the economy brackets with crap profit margins. They are in the business of making profits not giving cheap cars to the plebs.
