Well, I am understanding of the efficiency concern, but this may eliminate a
possibility of finding parts, and may be the end of classic car collections
in the long run.
My BIGGEST peeve is that I pay taxes to the county when I buy a NEW
car...then when I sell it, the buyer pays again and the county makes out,
and on and on.  I feel that once sales tax is paid when new, that should be
it.
Will leave it at that b4 I start raving. :-)
