Just a thought .
Nope, David wouldn't want to go there. An "auto manufacturer" has to produce vehicles that meet all current emissions and crash safety regs. Take a look at an Aurora, or Autocar to get an idea what your up against. (granted these only met standards from 10 years ago)

David's taking a pretty big risk as it is, tick off the right people in DC and next thing you know all these "exemptions" start going away. Now all you have is a race car that can't be operated on the street. Not that there aren't people out there who already want you off the road.

Our govenment is like a 20yr old car, great to bragg about how long it's lasted. But ultimately it's time for a re-build, or a new one.
