Your argument here is just silly.
You can't ask people to pay to have their old cars updated to modern standards and again, there just isn't that many old cars in the whole scheme of things. Additionally, old cars die and are taken off the road, new cars keep getting produced.

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.
And the govt is not looking at just your neighborhood or mine, it is looking at the country as a whole. And it is not just how many cars there are, but how much they are being used.
