'bout then.

with all this tracking and Orwellian tactics, there are those whom say all this computer generated stuff could be knocked out of commisson with electro magnetic low altitude bombs. Short theory is one everyone has become dependent on cars, planes, pc's...Someone wanting power could cripple by disabling.

Older stuff not dependent-- not affected.

If memory serves GM left points and condensors after '75. Ford after '76. Chrysler was even earlier, with that abomination that used to hang off all their air cleaner housings. All these vehicles are old enough now that parts can be annoying to find and most people lack the time and knowledge to mess with them. Well, most people don't have a clue or care anyway.

I always try to keep at least one old timer sitting around. I enjoy them but there's also the chance they may someday fill a need. I still wonder, though, how long before autos past a certain age or lacking certain on board computer systems are banned from public roads, or flat out banned from ownership at all.

Owners of older cars would be allowed to take part by retrofitting them.

"Allowed to take part".. ? Does this mean there is someone out there who WANTS to be tracked by a satellite? Or is this just their way of saying "we're gonna put it in your old car whether you like it or not"..

Ahh, anyway, my '72 Chevy scoffs at anything computerized. (Well, ok, got rid of the points, but.. )

Oregon is a wierd state. You've got the coastal and eastern areas which are populated mostly by farmers, and are very pro-gun. Then you've got the central valley, which is a bastion of liberal thought. The liberals just outnumber us..
