No motors in cars allowed soon, and boats also, I guess.

[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 422994, member: 6678"] ******************************************************************************************** (CHUCKLE) Yeah, ain't it amazing what our "best" elected representatives can be talked into supporting? As to the "value" of parts, I heavily dose such claims with a generous amount of skeptical "salt". Part values, along with whole cars, are artificially inflated due to what folks see on Barret-Jackson, and the other picker-type shows. Case in point; I'd like to find a '55-'60 BMW Isetta 300, in better than rustbucket condition, within my budget. Ever since a nicely restored one sold for something north of $47K, a guy can't find a rusted-out parts donor for less than 6-7K. My checkbook just ain't that thick. And about those plugs; Just because you're seeing them [i]listed[/i] for $10+ bucks each, doesn't mean they're [i][b]selling[/b][/i] for that amount. Roger [/QUOTE]
