My grandmother rode to school in a horse drawn wagon (no joke, 1910's era). Cars replaced horses not because they were mandated. But because they were better. Heck, the horse and buggy manufactures tried to ban the automobile. Improvements have been made and now we have cars that make those 60's muscle cars legends look slow. Will they eventually solve the issues that EV cars have, probably. But the politicians should let that evolution happen by itself. |

I like the alternative, I just don't like it being shoved down people's throats, especially if it doesn't work for them practically. Sent from toaster or something

Although its just speculation in this case, politicians who abuse their position of power to profit themselves are disgusting. It comes from both sides but I've noticed is leans more in one direction. Unfortunately we're voting these people into office and many can't see them for what they are. Regardless, one day it might not matter who is in charge. We could all be taken out in one swipe out of nowhere from something we hadn't accounted for. Might as well enjoy our cars while we can! |

It’s about the last people surviving on earth after nuclear fallout and they’re just waiting for the winds to bring the nuclear dust to them. The one character spends his last days driving around in a sports car.
The book was written in ‘59 I think and they made it into a movie in the 60s with Fred Astaire the guy driving his sports car. |

Haha, not a horrible way to go out.
Like someone else stated earlier, only reason I stay is i can drive my car year round in great weather. My entire family was born and raised here and they all left for Texas. They're slowly chipping away at people's freedoms here. The state unemployment offive is a joke and the pandemic has definitely put that in the spotlight with the big loss in jobs. Rioting going on in the state consistently over blm. Wildfires across the state, which could be argued as evidence of rapid climate change. However the mismanagement of the forests and overgrowth within them doesn't help either. And the governor introduces a bill to kill all new gasoline vehicles by 2035? Seems to be more pressing concerns at the moment but what the heck do I know. Not sure how much longer I can hold out in this state.... |
