Disband the DOT and EPA, let American car makers build cars I might actually want to buy.

OK then, it's back to restoring a classic.

Isn't it interesting that a 30 year old version of the same car, Mustang, Corvette, Camaro, Jaguar, etc., is so often worth more than a new one in similar condition?
But were supposed to believe the new cars are "better"!

Hmmm.... My C6 2005 Vette is so much better than the previous ones. However, I may be just a wee bit prejudiced. :-)

The DOT, particularly, bespeaks of corruption, in my experience. The recent Transportation Bill that passed had about every type of pork in it imaginable. I'm not sure, not at all, that the pork will benefit any Americans directly, but it certainly seems to be pleasing to pork dependent politicians in both parties. I was disgusted when I read even some of it, while the Senate, particularly, was all aglow at what they've carved.
