New emissions laws take away our cars.

anyone know of any newsgroups dedicated to Porsche-worship?

A PROPERLY TUNED 20 year old car will run as clean as a new car. In fact, I saw a write up in Car Craft a few years ago, which showed a 69 Camaro, with a 350, 6-71 blower and two four barrels, that ran CLEANER than any new car on the market. Sounds like the government is protecting the new car manufacturers to me. Mike

Anybody ever compare the amount of resources consumed by driving an old (say 20 years) car versus the amount of resources consumed if the person driving that old car went through the normal ownership cycle and bought a new car every 5 years or so? Do I smell a plot hatched by the auto industry to sell more new cars? Nah - they are just honestly concerned... -- sig? what.sig? Academics can't say anything in four lines!

This is the same magazine that says Holley carbs are better than Q-Jets for street cars and you believe this nonsense??
