Excellent points. This is why the probable best route is to pass it on to someone who truly appreciates these remarkable cars. It’s looking like there’s a win/win scenario available.

But to your point, there are smog legal vehicles in state that are even more gross polluters. It’s all political. This car, even at the gross polluter it is, emits less mass than many others. Think about it.

Thanks
