Something has got to be done. A few years back I was driving on the freeway and got stuck behind a smoking jackass. Made a lane change as soon as I could. When I parked at the mall parking lot, I noticed on my windshield and hood of my car was a few black spots. Thinking they were just something that I could wipe off, guess what. OIL! So, what in the he@@ is your suggestion?

Hey kids, taking the beaters off the road is good for the automobile industry, new and used, which is good for everyone, think about it

I don't know if this is good or bad, but you never see beaters in Europe....then again we saw a cop driving a Porshe as highway patrol in Holland, guess if you are going to catch speeders, eh? then again all the taxis in Holland are Mercedes and BMWS....

and Ontario has this program, which is a rip off, you have to get your car tested every three years for clean air emissions - I thought it was a scam dreamt up by the car mechanics, but apparently they don't make any money off this deal either, the government does though but I had to laugh, major digression, sorry but this is funny - I have married neighbours that were having an affair, going on for years, but they both lost their second beater vehicles, under the clean air emissions program, and they needed their cars to rendezvous for afternoon delight, since their spouses, who worked during the day, needed the good first car,

in Ontario if your car doesn't pass, you either have to repair the car up to a ceiling of $450 (how kind of the gubmint huh) or it is taken off the road, obviously neither car passed and they wouldn't have been worth the repairs, must have put a serious cramp in the lovelife, LOL, God works in mysterious ways....

That car was probably being driven by a welfare recipient because the local welfare department and transit authority discovered it is truly much less expensive for the taxpayers to gift the "client" a beater like that, than to require the "Dial a Ride" vans/mini busses to drive them to their new "workfare" job!!!

So, what in the he@@ is your suggestion? (snort!)
