Anyone see this crap??????

I am not so sure they can do it by date of manufacture. What about all those classics that have had newer motor transplants in them?

hmmm.....I guess anyone who has had a heart transplant would have to change their ID to date of the donor.

Indiana requires vehicles have to be 25 years old to get historic vehicle plates. That means my 2000 LeSabre won't qualify till 2025.

I'm totally bummed out about that.

Any idea how cars with manufacturers available performance parts or wheels would be handled; Shelby's for instance? That may not be a good example since they didn't actually leave the factory with those pieces. But there are other cars and parts that could fit the description. Like a person that adds a cowl induction hood to his 1969 Camaro?

I suspect you are framing the discussion as a negotiation. That is a mistake. These people must be taken at their word because they mean business.

Looking at the end game I suspect that the plan is to run the clock out on owners of these cars and then move to accomplish banning operation altogether. City's will be first.

In advance, however there is a pressing need need to get gas prices to $6.00 a gallon, (quickly) because at that point electric cars reach a competitive point to ICE.

Then instead of discussions to "phase out" the discussion will jump quickly right to "prohibit operation", and there are several ways to accomplish this.

Recall when POTUS 44 said well in the future "you can build a coal fired electric generating Plant-but you will go bankrupt trying to operate it"

So in the not too distant future I see:

Well Look you can own a collector car and drive it IF it passes our strict emission tests AND you pay the carbon surcharge per mile driven, AND allow for tracking of its operation to verify that it does not exceed the agreed mileage limitation. Purchase of Gasoline will be strictly controlled by this time and VERY expensive. If you exceed the mileage limitation additional gasoline purchases will be restricted. All Legal. We rationed gas during WW2 and some future National emergency declaration along the lines of a "Climate Emergency" will do the trick.

So you can keep your car you will just not be able to afford to operate it in a meaningful way.
