Possible recession changing your Car hobby purchasing plans?

[Historybuff]

I am not in any position to buy a Cobra replica yet but if I were, I'd still think about getting it in the garage while the Good Ship america is heading into recession because by the time we as a country get out of this mess, the ecogreenies might have found a way to outlaw replica/kit cars though those already licensed will probably be
"grandfathered in." (though in California legislators are talking about eliminating the exemptionf or smog testing on older cars).

So what I am talking about is , as time goes on, the eco-weenies will try to eliminate any large engine-powered thing that's fun and I still want a Cobra of one sort or another to blast up that 5,000 ft. mountain that I can see from my front door...
