- You have just spelled out the whole problem, the govt. ISN'T wording
- these bills to protect the special interest cars at all.

- I'm driving a 77 Camaro (get the picture) but not for long.
- These eco-policies are getting so bad that I'm going to sell my pride and joy
- and get a 67, 68, or 69 Camaro.
- Preferably one that's not running so I can throw in a big block. :^)

- Well, I have to say I apologize.
- I'm just so used to hearing everyone against cars all the time
- (especially here) that I don't expect to find someone with an open
- mind.
