Crap, No Rhd....No more supra how I am going to get my cheap power. Like i understand selling/purchase of but banning driving them. Now where are they going to stop with this, like one guy said next could be the old cruisers. I like driving my 1976 that has never gotten an inspection. I think this is something we might try to get to gether with the tuner world to fight. Hope it doesn't end up screwing us owners 10-30 grand.

You are right, getting your classic Cruiser off the road is also on their want list. This one is from CADA (the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association)...

The overriding problem facing Canada's vehicle industry is a lack of sales. A comprehensive national s****page program would address this issue by stimulating additional sales of new vehicles this year. S****page programs remove old vehicles from the road and replace them with new ones, refreshing the national vehicle fleet more quickly than the unregulated market's rate of attrition would allow. In addition to the economic benefits stemming from a healthy automotive retail sector, s****page programs also offer numerous environmental benefits and could play an important role in helping our nation reduce its climatic impact, since older cars pollute as much as 37 times as
much as a new car.

"An aggressive s****page program would help achieve much sought-after dual economic-environmental policy objectives," continued Mr. Taylor. "It would be the perfect policy to prove that economic growth and environmental protection are not mutually exclusive. When policies are designed properly, these important goals can be addressed in conjunction with one another."

It isn't a big step from banning RHDs and paying a scrap program to get old cars off the road with a program like in Japan where it makes it financially difficult for most people to license and operate a vehicle over 10 years of age.

This program is a load of crap. They can keep all the new junk they want to try and sell us. I can't wait to get my Cruisers going so I can park my Junkoma. I will never buy another new vehicle again. There is a reason why people aren't buying new vehicles they are all crap even Toyota. So I will drive my old Cruisers and when they wear out I will restore them again.

Amen
I like my smell, My sound, my look, the way I dont crush when i hit something, And It will just not die. Ill keep adding Gas and steel

I really dont think they will be able to push the 10 year thing, they would take easy 70% of the Vehicles off the road. what would happen to all of the muscle and hot rods. I dont think it will be a move they will make, but if they do im going way up north with my cruisers. The RHD/JDM well wat is coming over are tuner cars with 300hp. That is where they are getting these unsafe stats. They are buying JDM for a different reason then cruiser guys. So we get shafted because of all the RHD ricers driven by horrible young drivers. (I am 19).

AMVIC is a load of s***. They are functioning way out of their league. If AMVIC wants to ban RHD, that means they want to kill the livelihood of businesses that were forged due to the need of specialty parts for these RHDs. Isn't AMVIC there to protect the consumer and flourish the automotive sector?

New vehicles to boost an economy that is solely based on production and sales of s*** vehicles is ridiculous. It's a new reality though....I wouldn't be surprised if heavy taxing or charges become a new way of controlling the use of old vehicles. It's becoming a form of communism. Big auto companies have the politicians tucked away into their pockets.

Yup and it's getting way out of hand. It's no wonder the new Toyota's are junk in North America it's because why build something that is going to last when its just gets junked way before it should.
