Ah, but that's an awfully big "if" - and I don't believe that humans are hardwired to drive powerful vehicles.

Yes, all this is unnecessary waste of resources... But RESTRICTING someone from doing what they want to do with their own money is not going to work.
Who's talking about restricting people from what they want to do? Want to race? Race. Want to race petroleum-based vehicles? Think again.

Want to invent newer, faster, more efficient modes of transportation? Wonderful, with appropriate regards for impact on the planet and its residents. I might even cheerfully share some tax dollars to help you out.

Want to run a big, failing company into the ground for years on end, and then ask me to give you my money precisely because your company is stuck in a Camaro (or Suburban) frame of mind?

Think again.

I'm not saying what can or should be done. I'm saying we need some priorities here, and we need them Right Now -- especially if I'm going to be the one financing them.

Think again.
