Cleaning up the environment? Which do you think is more polluting -- an S1 Elise, a 340R or that '72 Cuda?
Safety standards? Which is safer -- an S1 Elise, a 340R or that '72 Cuda? My Model T didn't even have lap belts.
Go learn and report back here why we have a "federally mandated" 2.5mph bumper requirement and tell me that has anything to do with safety.
If they really wanted to clean up the environment and make cars safer they would have to, again, mandate out all of the antiques (which they don't care about) and/or require that they all be retrofitted with 3 point belts, etc. Oh, but they don't.
