Old cars (like old washers and dryers) are the way to go...they last forever because they were built back when things were made to last. Less insurance and registration costs and they don't need emissions testing either (if they're old enough). Which makes ZERO sense if you think like a green liberal..then again they assume if you're driving a car that old then you can't afford emissions testing and they don't want to burden the poor...only those who will actually cough it up somehow. (Punish the productive who will obey the law.) If you're poor and pollute it's perfectly okay. The environment can tell the difference...poor pollution is less detrimental to the planet than rich pollution. It's a scientific fact....and Al Gore is a living example of this practice.
