The only message that matters is if car companies can't sell us govt mandated crap, they will fight back and exert more pressure than I ever could.
I can call my congressman all I want, but if I buy the crappy product anyway then they will say "see, they like it."
Money talks, and if mandated 50 mpg egg shaped electric hamster cars going beedow beedow beedow don't sell, then congressmen will get leaned on and laws will change.  |
Exactly! If enough people call their representatives/senators and also only buy V8s, then the law will change. I don't think we will get rid of CAFE, but I did write my senator and tell him that I think the rules for pickups need to change. In my opinion, how the pickup goes is how the V8 will go.
However, a 4 banger in the base Camaro doesn't mean it will be crappy.
