"the government has the authority under the interstate commerce clause to do any damned thing it likes."
Oh, of course. You bought the car from someplace other than your home state, or your insurance company is from another state, or your gas came from another state, or something, somewhere in or around your vehicle came from another state.
So of course this falls under interstate commerce. Of course.

It can get even more distant than that. The Family Leave Act was passed under the Interstate Commerce Clause because, well, if someone in a company takes leave, then that company is affected financially and therefore SOMEWHERE money and goods once passed over a state line!
