Just like the guns, there is so much out in the public that they can't expect it to stop. Where do you draw the line and consider it hot rodding? No more vettes?

Went back and checked the site.
Looks like they are targeting older vehicles, no?

In today's economy we need to produce new jobs not eliminate them. Think about how much money this would cost the industry as a whole. IMO it will never happen. End of story. Vince
