    If you’re driving a classic car in the middle of a gas crisis, you kinda deserve it, imo. Those things are about the only thing more inefficient than a jacked up pavement princess.

    Edit: learned that “classic” has a much broader definition than I thought. Oops.

      I drive a car thati bought used over a decade ago. It’s cost effective, paid for and not a gas guzzler. Fuck me though cause I own an old car. One with rubber gas lines.

        Did I say “fuck people with slightly older cars”?

        I was specifically responding to op complaining about affecting classic cars. It sucks that your slightly older car might be affected by this, but don’t jump into the shade and pretend I threw it at you.

          “Classic car” isn’t just some vibe. It’s literally a legal term for cars of a certain age. Depending on the country it refers to >15, >20 or >25 years old cars. That means you can have a relatively fuel efficient car that is considered a classic car.

          The first Toyota Prius came out 1997 (29 years ago) and would be considered a classic car today.

      I’m actually driving my 1971 MGB around these days because I get 55MPG since it has 75ish horsepower and weighs about 2000lbs total lol
