Look we in the enthusiast segment of the automotive field need to get our collective beep together. I see so much Beep going on with the ICE and EV people and it is only going to lead to more problems especially for the ICE fans. Let me make this clear. I am not a global warming believer or a Tesla fan. My dream is a C8 Z07. Ok here is the deal cars burn, cars burn every day. EV cars and ICE cars all burn. Yes there is some learning to do with the EV cars but they will fix it and it will be no worse or better than anything now. Actually it could be better as now we have gas, oil and electrical fires and we may only see rare electrical fires. My buddy had a T Bird and he parked it in the garage. By luck he went out to check something in the garage to find the interior in his 4 year old car burning. It would have taken the house if he had not caught this. Look we need to accept the fact the automakers have their backs to the wall globally vs emissions in many markets anymore. They do not want to force us all into 2 cylinder cars that make a Spark look hood. The increased number are nearly impossible to meet. As for us we no longer are able to vote for better regulations. Automakers are not going to change $35 million dollar programs every 4 years. As for the changes things are on a little of a sliding scale as innovation can speed it up or unexpected troubles could slow it a bit but it is coming and we are not going to change direction. Note storming the Capital is also not recommended. We all need to be informed and up to date on this. Our children are not going to be Cobalt slaves, all our houses are not going to burn, We are not totally doomed. But we need to grasp the Hemi is dying. The Chevy trucks may be going to a 3.0 turbo 6 over a more common V8 before it is turned to electric at some point. The cold harsh reality is if you want a large vehicle or a fast vehicle at some point it is going to need to be a EV until the flux capacitor arrives. The greatest thing we need to do is protect our collector cars. At some point they will make it difficult to keep one on the road. I get it I don’t relish the change but it is coming and we need to Find our place in it and protect what we can of our past. Dishonest on either side is counter productive to all so we need to not parrot many of these falsehoods on the web.
