As a gearhead, this is the one thing that I agree with the Republicans on this one. I like the instant torque of electric cars, but I also appreciate an Asian sports car with an LS swapped in, mated to a manual 6 speed transmission. Nothing more fun than driving a tiny, manual car with a big, angry V8 under the hood. I like both and I want to have the choice to own both.
The vast majority of pollution comes from corporations. ~~Stop punishing everyday people for being a raindrop in the ocean.~~
We could probably have some sort of exception for like track vehicles. Like they could be not street legal to stop pollution for transportation but you could still have fun on a racetrack. I don't see Formula 1 or NASCAR going away but if we could get rid of most of the pollution that would be massive. At this point I'll take crumbs lol.
