I have to concur with the general tenor of these statements. As the
excitement of the TAC wars fades into boring and irrelevant discussions of
list members' technical problems with their cars, what we need is a new
direction that will energize the agenda. How 'bout "My
Religion........better than yours!" or "Your sister.......trollop or
slut?!" Why waste time on automotive trivia when you can better the world
with just a few keystrokes of supercilious wisdom. Let's have at it!

All this sounds like a typical left wing (left coast) agenda. The first
step in trying to get rid of the internal combustion engine. Like most
all there proposed solutions to what they think is a problem, Tax it.
Example - don't like for people to smoke, raise the tax on cigarettes.-
to help stop gun ownership, raise the tax on guns. - people use too
much gas, raise the tax on gasoline. - and on and on. The fellow who is
going to take a Tiger to the salt flats had better be looking for a
powerful electric motor and some light weight batteries. Some day in the
future (if the left wing has it's way) I will take the mufflers off my
Tiger and blast through some residential area so that the dads can tell
their kids what that was. (while savoring the sound) I might even make
a recording of my Tiger's exhaust to save for posterity. Thanks to Tony
George for bringing back the V-8 to Indy and to Tom Patton for keeping
the Tiger competitive in SCCA GT-2. At least we have a few good men. Now
back to the subject. Are we really going to let the left wing
environmental wackos control what we drive. I love my Tiger and SUV.
Just a midwestern conservative's 2 cents worth.
