Yes, it's only the very early beginning of the electric cars taking over.

Well I am glad for him that he is very excited about EV's. I am not and won't buy one until I am forced. I'm not sure that will even be in my lifetime. When (not if) gas reaches $5 or more, I'm not sure what I'll do. If it goes up and never again comes down, my vehicles certainly will not be V8's...

By the time EVs are truly mainstream, meaning let’s say half the market, most of the worries will be in the rearview mirror. That’s at least 10 years away.
And when you realize you are just addicted to the noise and your ember you all probably put a playing card on your bike spokes with a close pin to “make noise”, you may just realize that other than noise it’s just a better mouse trap. And when it breaks down to a comparison and the ONLY thing an ICE Camaro can do better is make noise............

Just wait when the government mandates that all cars and trucks with gasoline engines be destroyed or a buy back. Then everyone here will be raising hell! And people don’t say it can’t or won’t happen because it certainly can.

Oh, don't worry, GM will put a "SOUND TUBE" on it. You won't even miss the gas engine noise. AND, it will be QUICKER!!!!!

I guess it depends on how old you are, me I doubt it. My kids, I could see it happening.
I mean let's look at it like this, I will take Maryland for this case, if your car fails emissions you can be retested X amount of times and as long as you "tried to get it fixed with XX amount of dollars they will pass you". Why, because not everyone can afford to go out and get a new car. Lots of folks cannot afford to get the one they have fixed. We can argue the semantics of why, but that is a different topic. SO to say the government is coming for your cars seems a bit far fetched for the foreseeable future. Unless they are handing out new cars. |

Only because it probably won't be necessary. What will happen will be that ICE cars will be made too expensive for most people to own. High gas prices, high insurance, special taxes for ICE cars. On top of that all major car companies will only be offering EVs. The only thing that isn't certain, is how fast it happens. Certainly with in 15 to 20 years. Probably sooner.

You all understand what this means right?
The only generation of mid-engine Corvette ever is happening right now. ZL1, Hellcat, ZR1 will be the most sought-after classic cars... possibly ever. |
