So maybe the lyrics to Rush's song "Red Barchetta" will come true someday.

 

Unless you plan to buy a brand new 996 in 2030, you probably don't have anything to worry about. Everyone seems to forget that car aficionados/gear heads are an extreme minority of automobile drivers/owners. The average car owner just wants an appliance they can replace every 5-10 years, who cares if all the Camrys and Civics will be electric soon? The government is just as likely to take away your old combustion car as they are to take away your guns, it's not happening. Now if people would just stop hoarding air cooled 911s and 9mm ammo so I can actually purchase one or the other...

 

well put. bravo.

 

If things progress as some people want them to, the problem will not be one of having your I/C vehicle taken away from you, it will be one of having gasoline to put in its tank.

 

Hey i bet you can find a reasonably priced air cooled 911 faster than you can find reasonably priced 9mm ammo. Luckily i stocked up on walmart clearance ammo, in hindsight should have spent more lol.

 

Stop the fear mongering. Oil/gas isn't going anywhere for a long time. You know oil is in lots of things more than just cars...

 

Fear mongering? Nope.

 

Yes. You can't provide anything factual which would prove your baseless thoughts. Sure in a very long time, we will be mostly oil free? Who knows, but within the amount of time where everyone on this forum should be worried, not likely.

 

None of this has anything to do with current ICE cars.

 

Follow the bread crumbs.

 

GM plans to exclusively offer electric vehicles by 2035, ending production of its cars, trucks and SUVs with diesel- and gasoline-powered engines.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that after 2035, sales of gas-powered vehicles would be banned in California.

From the article linked below: "West Coast Democrats this week introduced federal legislation that would ban U.S. sales of new vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035"

There is obviously a point where gasoline producers won't have a market for the gasoline they make. If some people have their way this will be way sooner than later.

 

it must be really difficult for some to drive gasoline fueled porsche's with their heads firmly planted in sand.

but, whatever. i say long live abiotic oil and down with dinosaurs

 

Beard crumbs, what a clown show.

Take a stated government "goal" and weave a radical rally cry of BS. And how often does government even hit a time goal? Answer; never.

 

Also, don't forget there are multiple hydrocarbon replacement fuels currently in development, with one of the most promising being developed by Porsche, with an intended use as a replacement fuel that can used in currently existing ICE cars, with little to no conversion needed to use it.

Sure, it's expensive now but all new technologies are expensive at first. Remember when flat screen TVs were thousands of dollars?

 

Sure, and I am still waiting on that Supreme Court Decision that is going to hand Trump a second term. Any word on that? Talk about heads in the sand.
