Not political.... multiple phases in how we got to this point the most recent being to re-regulate the domestic car companies nearly to the point where the brand that they sell (V-8 power) is demonized to where some people are afraid to be seen buying a truck or an SUV.
"All to save the planet" Fact is I have frost on my roof this morning and we are a week from JUNE....
My Point being is that If I have the money to buy a V-8 and a manufacturer is willing to build it - I should be able to buy it.
We already did this two-step in the mid 1970's, and early 80's. Wow I recall just how great that 165HP 350 was in the Vette and Camaro in 1975 and 1976.....
Cliff ahead.... brace for impact.
Gonna be great for future collector car values... that is the only upside I see.
