ITS CALLED FREEDOM!

You don't NEED your 30+ year old sports car either.  You have NO WAY to
justify driving a car without all of the modern emissions controls.  You
don't WANT one.

Remember, the people with the SUVs out number you.  They can vote to
take away all old cars if they want to.  You are living in a glass house
enjoying your freedoms.  If you want to take theirs, they may want to
take yours.

Oh, and lots of those SUVs are flexible fuel vehicles too, so
technically, they can burn less gas than you in any of your cars by
running E85 where available.

I hate this thread, and when people try to promote taking away freedom.
