    Allright, let's get political...



    Short gist: "Cash for Clunkers", aka government money to crush & scrap older parts cars. That one was killed off, now they've got a new one, they want to go after running cars as well. Think about how many non-enthusiasts you still see out there with E30s, e28s, not to mention e21s, e12s, 02's, etc. Now realize that they'd like to give them 4k to buy a 2004 or newer car and crush the old car. Think about all the nicely trashed parts cars & replacement shells. Think about the spike in replacement parts costs.

    Write your congressman kids.

      Not to mention this will artifically drive up the value of every old car for no reason! Imagine going on craigslist and seeing every beat ass 325e asking price 4000. Make an offer and " no the state will give me $4000 for scrapping it" Fucking makes me sick. Im putting my tin foil hat on now. First they take over our banks, Then the auto industry, then they find a way to remove the old cars by buying them out with a fiat currency and force people to into debt buying a shitty car from the gov, aka US automakers.

          Now people start to get worried. You threaten to take away guns on a car forum and nobody gives a care, but you say cars are next, then people respond.

              That's the problem, it's already too late once one decides to stand up after a bunch of other freedoms are already gone.

                      Now wake up jag offs and realize that eventually the government will take something away that you love. Fixed bikes are next. They use too much human energy when ridden compared to bikes with gears, therefore they waste food and should be melted down and made in something more green.

                      Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

                          At this very moment there is some question developing as to whether or not "legal" catalysts will be available for older cars...

                          So if you don't pass emissions... You may be fucked.
