I don't think anyone is ready to send the Highway Patrol home. It is just where to set the line between legal and illegal. People generally agree (right now) that something like street racing is dangerous to us all, and so we agree to make it illegal. On the other hand, a lot of people are behind the curve on oil depletion and global warming. I fully expect consensus to move, and for society to see those as risks (or harm), and to regulate them. And even as a gear-head, I support that. There are plenty of (take your choice) practical, fun to drive, and stylish cars to choose from, which also get 30 mpg highway and beyond. This isn't a choice beteen fun and no-fun. It is the choice between a Maserati (17 mpg) and a Lotus (43 US mpg?): http://www.elises.co.uk/models/s2/111/ But we do want to prevent other people from having choices … I don’t think anyone is ready to send the Highway Patrol home.
