Our state government recently conducted a survey into the value of the old car movement to the state's economy. They were blown away by the result - they had no idea. By the time everything was counted, it was huge. To ban them would be a big dent in the economic situation in the state and politians don't want that - it would affect their chances of re election! Electric cars will make the car world as we know it, disappear. Very few mechanical workshops, no dealers (Tesla, for example is sold ONLY on line) and very few body shops, just to start. That weill shake things up so much, they might welcome our activity.
That said, I hear you.
