Fixed that for you. Unless a grass roots movement truly takes off and has massive, undeniable support that cannot be ignored without losing an election, it doesn't have a chance of competing with special interest groups and the biases of the politician. Our hobby is not growing, you can tell this is the case by the tracks dropping like flies all over the country, so there's little hope of any in the political class inserting any measure into their increasingly authoritarian legislation that protects the core aspects of our hobby unless someone with an interest in it and money (like a coalition of aftermarket parts and modification companies, or a billionaire who understands the hobby and isn't just an out-of-touch boomer collector) makes sure that happens.

I have been screaming for a modern-day SEMA. We have been riding on their coat tails and as you say .... out-of-touch boomer isn't going to cut it any more.

You bring up an important point .... we CAN ask candidates about their cars and figure who DOES have a BIAS towards classic cars. Then if we could collect that data to distribute to fellow enthusiasts.
