What happens when all gas classic cars become extinct???

I don't believe they will. This all electric madness will simmer down when someone reasonable becomes president. It may get to 50-50 by 2030 or later. Oil and gas are not going anywhere soon. Democrats are trying to pass the high cost of a quick transition on us. I don't believe ìt will happen in our lifetime.

I don't believe so either.
Diaper Joe won't admit to it, but he knows he didn't think this EV thing through, and now he can't walk it back without looking like a bigger idiot that he already is.

Everyone projecting 2030 to be the year when everything RAPIDLY changes over. Did anyone factor in the true poor person? They have driven junkers their entire lives. Around the Detroit area... I still see people driving very old vehicles... 1993, 1994... etc. How exactly do you drive a battery junker? lol Apparently no one knows yet. I would factor in at least 30 years to totally get all 2023 (gas powered new vehicles) off the street. So.... at least 2053 when you see 90% of the gas powered vehicles off the street.

Unless auto manufacturers give you minimum 10 year FULL WARRANTY on the battery... this is a total disaster waiting to happen for the consumer. The planning on how to be energy efficient... is the equivalent of 5 drunken bar patrons talking on a Saturday night at 1 AM. Everyone talking out of their a$$. Nobody has an ounce of common sense... just PUSHING AGENDAS.

Hey Billy Boy?

How fast do you think AAA will bring out a can of electricity to you and your car when you stall out on the I-95 and need an emergency charge?

Unless you have a good auto insurance policy that covers an expensive tow, that battery charge could set you back 400 dollars.

That's just one example, there's a dozen other issues greater than that one I just mentioned that needs to be addressed.

As soon as the earth starts cooling, the Lefties will want to go back to gas powered vehicles.

I love old classic cars, I feel the modern ones have no personality.

I have test driven some of those EV's.
They all for the most part are lacking in performance.
Like the current sitting president, they lack balls.

Gas cars will be around for quite a while. There ain't enough battery power to move even 25% of the market to Electric, and hydrogen also has its draw backs when it comes to producing the fuel and storing. The present day fuel will be around until I croak for sure in probably less than 50 years, and if I'm still around in 40 years or so, I can sit there and laugh as the climate people are still telling us of the impending doom and how the ice is all melting.

If you have the storage space I think some gas cars will be very good collectable investments.

But I also think zero emission cars will be legislated into the only daily driver choice in under 20 years.
