I've been a gearhead since I was about three or four (there are even pictures to prove it... somewhere ), but we're in a new age. I won't go quite as far as saying the "enthusiast" community has no one else to blame but themselves, but they sure do own a huge piece of it; rolling coal, burning tires, street racing, roaring through neighbourhoods and campgrounds, destroying off-road areas... Enviro-weenies have the ears of the regulators, and they don't like us. Now, I'm far from being a boy scout tree hugger, but I learned a long time ago to behave in public... mostly.
And you know what, I like clean air and water and quiet time too.
And Because We Like Cars

Dealers say, “oh people don’t buy sedans” yeah because you don’t bother marketing them. Then they complain they don’t sell it’s self perpetuating.
The other 800# gorilla in the room is the massive cheat VW got caught in.
So we have an industry profiting off of overly complicated vehicles that get 20% worse mileage than a comparable 2wd vehicle. (SUVs get a loophole as “trucks” which helps the corp in a bunch of ways.) and another company that outright planned to cheat.
And because of this a relatively small number of enthusiasts are getting the majority of the retribution.
I’m guessing one guy’s glass packed 68’ Cobra probably doesn’t pollute anywhere near as much as 100 Mindys getting a NEW Range Rover instead of a new Acura TSX. -
We still don’t feel the time is right to start again. And now super is almost $3.
People used to look at these cars as cool with smiles and thumbs up. Now they will probably get triggered into a green meanie rage at the sight of one.Dale thompson and tommymonza Thank this. -
