Message	paraphrased: "if I want a 40mpg car to save the planet, I want the freedom to buy one. If I want a gas guzzling SUV that protects me and my loved ones, I want the freedom to buy one, if I want a 600 hp sports car, I want the freedom to buy one. What these standards are is the govt telling you that you are too stupid to make the "right decisions" so they make them for you. you don't get the freedom of speaking/voting with your wallet anymore. Obama makes your car decisions. and when you're driving your little egg down the highway and you look up and see the 18 wheeler blow by guzzling deisel and you fear for your life, or you see the 747 flying overhead, guzzling jet fuel, and you ask yourself what the hell am I doing driving this thing? you can be happy to know that you're saving the planet because the govt told you you were." when you and your family gets vaporized inside a little egg car during an accident, no big deal because less humans = less pollution. you took it for mother earth. this is really how they think. DISCLAIMER: I post from my phone and at work out of town away from my Z a lot of the time... searching can be difficult and questions may be redundant. Sorry.
