Pollution, Maintenance (a rant)
I think the real problem is not with us (the enthusiast groups) it's the "average" person, those who never take care of their cars, "we don't need no stinkin tune ups or oil changes".
"WE" probably are overkill on maintenance, overkill on spark plug changes and oil changes etc. Back in the early-mid 80's I imported a bunch (50-60) of the dreaded grey market cars.. a few 911's a bunch of 323i BMW's (E21 6 cylinder) and some M/B's. These cars were EPA exempt, but when registered in NYS and NJ passed the "sniffer" test with flying colors....no cats etc, just well maintained. But WE all pay the price for the AVERAGE PERSON, who does nothing to maintain a vehicle. MAJORITY RULES, unfortunately the majority are fools who don't give a S**T about anything but themselves....need I only say, who stops for red lights, hogs the left lane, (ad nausea um)....its not "US" (is it?) OK soap box back in garage....

same holds true for speeding & traffic laws
if we had good mass transit, people who would rather read, apply lipstick, yak on their cell phones, etc. could so -- safely
