A use it, lose it, and take-it-in-the-ass society.  Really amazing.

Electric cars will, in principle, solve a lot of this, but the CorPirates 
will figger out a way to sufficiently bureaucratize something as simple as
a 
g-d battery, electric motor, and 4 wheels, that we will STILL be
hamstrung, 
blowing CorPirate Merka/DMV, and taking it in the ass.

I wanted to keep my 1990 Mazda 929S--great effing car, yo--MB 450
knockoff, 
and knocked off perty good.
But no parts.
And the salvage yard gave me $150 for my beaut, and then crushed it, alloy

aluminum rims, separately mounted snow tires, and all!!

And if there were parts for this car, cuz it somehow became a classic,
then 
I'd be paying $750 for a rear lens, and $1250 for the heated motorized
side 
mirror.
