Yet the first thing I noticed was the improper punctuation of the white-text-on-purple-background sign in the window above the car. There's something wrong with me.

This thread started out wiht a BMW, so I thought this article might be of interest:

Especially if you are into "gangsta" cars and want one so black, the cops can't even SEE it.

They probably don't want to sully the Mustang's or Camaro's legacy with a hybrid drivetrain. Let them go out with naturally aspirated V8s still an option.

I think people over estimate the public's desire for hybrid and EV appliances, tho. There is a market to fill there for sure, but many will just keep maintaining and trading "old" cars instead of spending money on new.

...or as you point out "they're all over the road". Maybe they are approaching market saturation and need to let them cool off for a few years to bring demand back up.

If I didn’t know any better I’d think the DOT and EPA is looking forward to the day when drivers are taken out of the equation of operating an on road vehicle. Electric vehicles are an element in accomplishing that goal.

It happening with trucking.

This is exactly right.
NHTSA and the IIHS, actually.
And the .gov in general.

They all want to deuce and/or eliminate 30k+ deaths every year, plus untold billions in injuries, damages, lost wages, etc.

No you wouldn’t. It has traction control and training wheels for the uninitiated.

I found some old picks from when I had my body shop. I used to do the paint/body for a mustang restoration shop. these are just a few.

They would show up as soda blasted rolling stock, completely stripped.
