I suspect each illegal sneaking back to Mexico is traveling in a stolen car. That could account for all cars disappearing.
Fake news. Not even close to possible.
It’s a shame we ran out of oil because the last snow fell about 15 years ago. All the empty roads are snow and,ice free year round now. It would have been nice to have some gasoline to power up the old buggy parked in the driveway and be able to drive without slip, sliding around.
Better tell Jay Leno and Reggie Jackson.
I worked in the factory where they made fire hydrants. It was a great job, but you couldn’t park anywhere near the place.
Not really relevant, except it’s also from Steven Wright.
Luv your statement. If I had the money, I’d buy a 57 Chevy Belair, 3 deuces, red and white, baby moons with spinners. in my mother’s 210 I was able to put in 8 girls. That was 7 for my date and one for a spare. Good cars will never go away. Hack professors will, hopefully, very soon.
It’s actually “from a better, vanished time.” He doesn’t really pause at the comma, so it’s easy to hear it your way.

Is that you, Taggart, you provincial putz?
I’m with you. I used to
drive from Houston to
Roswell over all major
holidays. Twelve hours
straight thru. One
stretch where it’s
almost 200 miles between
fill ups. There is virtually
nothing out there.

I was hoping to make the first reference to a red Barchetta. Notice that the article uses the word “petrol”. I could almost see the EU trying to push this through. It won’t happen in America - there will always be a demand for the freedom that a car provides. (A real car - that can go from California to NY stopping only for fuel and rest rooms).
If they stopped selling all fossil-fueled cars in 8 years it would look like Cuba in 30 years with nothing but old cars being kept up as well as possible on the road with gas stations even more plentiful than ever.
What a maroon!
Only a Stanford intellectual could be so stupid.
Sounds good to me. My wife and I together own, and regularly drive 5 cars (and another 12, or so, tractors and boats). All but 2 of the cars are from the last century, and all of the tractors boats are. The average age of all of them is well over a quarter century. Another eight years is barely another blip. With all the petroleum production and refinery capacity still around in eight years, the price for fuel will be negligible.
My 76 yr old Ford 9n tractor is still going strong.
Would have to have batteries weighing more than the tractor to haul that chunk of iron around.
And you believe all that bull, RIGHT?
I’m selling the Brooklyn Bridge. I sent this guy an email.
“And you believe all that bull, RIGHT?”
Can you make a coherent argument supported by facts, or just fling your crap around like a monkey in a cage?
Really, if you have nothing to add, it is better to say nothing.
Do you logically refute any point that I made?
While I’m no opponent of electric cars I’ll just say that this article is pure porn for leftist mental masturbation. The only way this could come about would be by force of edict and that is not going to happen. I am, however, very uncomfortable to the point of suspicious of “self-driving” vehicles. I can see the potential benefits but I also see the thoroughly invasive control that such a thing will create. Makes me want to keep a pre-electronics vehicle with an internal combustion engine all the more.
