This is getting to be nuts.
"JFK JR killed himself and others in a plane crash".
How much more rules and regulations than what a pilot and an aircraft goes through do we want subject our cars and ourselves to be safer?

I don't believe we could ever self regulate better than FAA can. Yet people do stupid things. Do we need more certification, and rules?
You can't decertify stupidty.

"The Sky is falling, The sky is falling".
Few more years no more insurance, no more Cobras! Right.
That is so much like what has been said about motorcycles for years. It ain't going to happen, not in your life time.

I am going to go on a limb and suggest that there are more accidents per thousand in Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Eclipses, and Buick La Sabers..
No one seems to be worried that they will be banning them of the streets anytime soon.

As a whole we are better drivers than most other categories of different makes.
Why? Most of us are scared to death of the car we own. Most have skills better than the driver's of above cars.

Yes people will get hurt, killed. that is the price of wreckless and stupid driving. No one is going to change that, not by modifying their sticker or affliliation to this or that club.

Klayfish, We recognize that there is at least the appearance of a "problem". What are you going to do about it? Issue some sort of a sticker that will make the bad driver a good one?

Do you think any sanctioning from the "organization" that would have come in the direction of the poor soul who died, would have changed the course of events?

Do you think he would have heeded the advice? What would you have told him, before he got killed that he did not hear in Driver Ed,or from his parents, or his passenger?

Please give us a clue and help us all out and save our lives!

Not long ago, you and DV were promoting the idea of safety inspections for poorly assembled unsafe cars. Today the reach is deeper. Now you are all talking about safety. It is a leap...All that before such an organization is even assembled. What will it be tomorrow?

Will we be asked to turn in one another upon observing some unsafe behaviour so the "organization" can remove the endorsement they once gave.

You guys scare the hell out of me. What good is a sanctioniong body if you are not going to present yourselves as representing us to the authorities or the Insurance companies under the pretense of "look we have a bunch of nice, safe and responsible drivers here with equally safe and well checked out cars".

What good is all that if you don' have the powers to revoke such status from the drivers/owners you are attempting to represent.

I have been very vocal and against this attempt from the beginning, and will remain so.

Let's not forget the fact out of 40,000 or so Cobras and drivers only one got killed. Why don't we do something about the 39.999 who didn't get killed?I think weare a pretty safe bunch if you take a head count.
