EPA Seeks to Prohibit Race Cars

[427TJ]

And thanks to Ralph Nader being such a PITA in the 1960s we have seat belts, safety glass, air bags, collapsing steering columns, crumple zones, etc. Not only are cars more efficient and much cleaner, they are far safer than in the old days.

As for the latest flare-up over off-road cars, we must assume that SEMA (and other vehicular industry interest groups) will weigh-in and hammer-out a compromise that we probably won't notice. There's a lot of money in the aftermarket and if the EPA seriously tried to impinge on those profits there would be hell to pay.
