"Bloomberg could kill America’s car culture if elected president"

He may be too late. My nephews and their friends ain't the least bit interested in getting their licenses much less getting a job to buy their first car. And even less interest in working on their own vehicles.

At the age of 12, I was reading Hot Rod, Car Craft magazine and looking at the Want ads and rolling by the used car lots dreaming of buying the used muscle cars of the mid sixties to and early seventies fantasying of all the mods I would do if only I had a license, the pik slip and the money to chrome, bolt and drill out a real ball busting rod rod.

Nowadays kids just call uber and or just stay at home on the weekends playing video games like 'Grand Theft Auto"

You sound like me. Driving a clunker in my late teens taught me a lot. Just keeping it on the road with little or no money taught a number of important life lessons. Like how to fabricate part of an exhaust system with flexible tubing and coffee cans or your car breaks down 100+ miles from home and it’s 10:30 at night. So you are 19 and you have a problem you have to solve right now on your own. Then there are countless social issues that surround a car. Taking away car ownership is a very big deal with countless implications.
Bloomberg is another arrogant controlfreak and the power has the more control he will hunger for. We better pray this SOB never gets near the White House.The climate BS is Taylor made for his type.

One of the things that you have to do to work on a car now.

Learn to code.
