Don't take them away. Mandate emissions and safety upgrades. Get rid of the front drums. I was talking to the owner of an Allard this past weekend. 2200lbs, 525hp and drums on all four corners. His car is road legal due to age. I asked him about stopping with the drums. He really laughed pretty hard. "I can get the car up to 200mph really fast but d@mn that thing won't stop." Mandate 3 point upgrades. Don't take the cars away from the current owners just crush 'em when the owner dies

That interchange sees more than 2 cars per resident of the population of not only my city but the 4 neighboring counties all totaled.
Here 15,000 cars is not a drop in the bucket.

Funny thing is, and I'm sure Tpup still doesn't believe this, I really am not purchasing a 340R nor will I be.
You know I'd love to have your car and kestrel's, too. I gotta get the job situation situated first.
