Seems like it was just yesterday, maybe this is what GHWB meant by the NWO... class warfare.

As I've noted in a number of recent threads, light trucks were exempt from safety and emission standards for a long, long time because when those were formulated in the late 1960s, they were 5% of the market and used exclusively for commercial purposes. A case of the big bad government not wanting to burden the working trades, and it backfired on an immense scale.

No surprise.
They legislated all of the big BOF cars out of existence, so people buy trucks instead.
Unintended consequences!

Remember when people rode horses like real men? Now they drive these hyper advanced motorized carriages with 10,000lb towing capacity. Wussies.

Well, you NEED that towing capacity in case some day you get horses and need to pull a 4-slot trailer full of them up the Continental Divide! Of course, you'll have to stable them in your 0.1-acre suburban back yard, but that's what the old west is all about.
