5 Car Laws That SAVED Car Enthusiasts!

My 22 year old Citroen is amazing, I love and take good care of it, and hopefully I'll never be forced by law to change it.

Thank god for the antique laws, ya boi drives a 69 Lincoln Continental Mark 3. Or at least, I did, gotta rebuild the transmission before I use it more.

2 years and my ranger will qualify

Most people buy a car every 5 years because they want the newest car. My friend buys a car every 5 years because he only buys $1000 tin cans that are falling apart

Thank good for that classic car law my 1972 dodge challenger would not pass smog

Isn't there a free market way to fight against subscription services? Needing the government to get involve seem a bit anti-capitalist to me.

Meanwhile India getting fucked over repeatedly:

I hope that I can be like you when I'm older with dream cars and stuff but by that time most petrol cars will have been phased out 😥

What was lexus subscription? The app?

If I run for Congress or President I’ll ban car subscriptions for all 50 states

tbh im considering learning how to work around electronics and software for things like this

Me who watched the scary var features vid right before this on accident

Background music sounds like the tiny hawk music. I know I'm not crazy

Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell <3 Jesus died on the cross for you bro.

My tech savvy ass would run my own hot wires n button for heated seats. They are overrated anyway.

at least if your channel was ai it’d be coherent 😭

I'm a car enthusiasts because I'm mechanically inclined. Don't care much for the specs, nor the looks. Just love seeing unique innovation and insane ideas. One thing I don't understand (AS A GREEN PARTY MEMBER) is the push for electric cars. Lithium batteries are terrible, extremely destructive, and if you're going to charge the car from a coal power plant, whats the point?

I think there should be more commercially available diesel commute cars. Had a family friend who modded his commute car to take diesel. Not only does it pretty much not burn fuel when idling, but he also MAKES HIS OWN DIESEL! He just gets old fry grease from restaurants and does his magic and turns it into completely renewable energy from what would otherwise be waste. Why are we falling for the EV versus gas argument? Normalize diesel!

Honestly all this panic about gas like oh what will happen well if you have the skill convert your car to Propane gas then continue driving them I mean Pick up truck enthusiast have done it before and some today and some Vintage cars once used Propane I am not worried and third they won't take the antique law away Museums and many other organizations count on them even the Rose bowl parade witch makes a lot of money and with how California is doing right now they will not mess with money makers.

Just let the free market charge us all for a thing we already paid for! What are you? A communist?

Sadly vintage law in a lot of states just pushes the inspection dates further away, here in Colorado it goes from every 2 years to every 4 years, it still has to pass emissions and meet safety standards, they also limited them to only being able to be driven less than 2000 miles a year, if you go over that then they are now a commuter car and will be inspected every 2 years.

Here in Paraguay we don’t got any emissions laws but, you can’t legally drive RHD cars unless they’re 1960s or older (1961 model year or newer and you’re screwed) so you’re obligated to make it LHD, so for example JDM cars from the 90s like Nissan Skylines (never sold as LHD) you gotta perform a conversion to legally get it registered; never understood why they haven’t updated it, because those conversions are legal not regulated and 90% of the time poorly done, most of the times they’d just take the steering rack, cut the mounts, flip them and resolder them, making them weak specially for our road conditions

There are cars that have their LHD version that obviously have the chance of being properly converted with OEM parts, like Aristos, Supras, Subarus, etc. but even then it’s still ridiculous that we can’t have them as they came out

The first one is like buying a console or Pc and having to pay to use the controller/mouse

California has had the antique car status for years now.

imagine saying to the police "yeah, i pirate my subscription to my heated seats"

the state I live in doesn't even have emissions testing, which is great for those wanting to buy older cars that aren't quite considered "vintage" but are old enough to not meet current emissions standards. it means you don't have to go through the expensive process of updating it to match those standards, meaning older cars are more accessible for those that want to get one

I'm all for protecting the environment, don't get me wrong, but i also think people should be allowed to drive what they want to. most people will probably choose an EV as time goes on (which also aren't that great for the environment due to production and disposal of their batteries), because they don't care for the things we gearheads enjoy about the combustion engine

Oooh so my 1987 mazda b2200 doesn't have to comply with emissions!!! Good to know. Now I can put a performance exhaust and engine mods on it

Our 3coterrorist liberal environment minister in canada steven guilbeaut wants to ban cars older than 15 years

New Jersey and Pennsylvania W 🔥🔥🏆🏆

I was never concerned about the "subscription car". People will just start selling plug and play harnesses that bypass the system to allow these features to be used because, like you said, they are already installed because if they don't install them, they can't charge you.

I feel like a single button on a key fob that costs 300+$ to replace should be easy to fix but its not and should qualify to sue them over with the rights to repair law

Honorable mention: states like Georgia's restrictions on speed enforcement.

I don't hope the Right to Repair stays the same, I want it to be much harder, especially in the EU where I live. I'm kind of worried about what will happen when a matrix headlight breaks down and think that maintenance of such a basic things like headlights ALWAYS must be some how easy to do at home. And a ban on subsciptions should absolutely be passed in all of EU, not despite but BECAUSE we have some really bad offenders here!

A lot of these laws somehow aren’t in the tech industry especially the right to repair

I like right to repair. Also a slow poke law was passed in my state back in 2017. If only it were zealously enforced

No government should have any laws that require older cars to meet standards that they weren't required to meet when they were new.

Agree with the antique laws. I have a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans-am GTA. I love my old GTA. Haynes and Chilton books are great

I really wished people would hang onto their cars more because you tend to grow a bond and learn more about your car once you own it for years. It’s that attitude of feeling the need to have the newest thing that I find is becoming more common

My 2006 Saturn is almost considered a classic car

Tesla is the biggest perpetrator of right to repair

I'm basically okay with Tesla's premium connectivity subscription because it's basically a data plan for your car.

CALL FERRARI!!! THEY ARE THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMISING CARS

The right to repair is most infamous in tractors, farm equipment and hauling trucks. Things like windows and doors were made out of flat glass, any shop could order some and cut out the right shape, and get you back to work in a few hours. Now, the windows and glass are made to very weird, very specific curves and shapes, such that the only way to get it to fit proper is to order from the company, which is of course priced at 5x or more what the total cost it would be to have a repair shop do it with flat glass.

The supposed reason for these changes? Aerodynamics. On a tractor that is moving 6 miles an hour towing 15 tons worth of equipment, aerodynamic drag is not just negligible, it is almost nonexistent in the total calculations.

Here in Germany we have a law since 1997, were if your car is 30 years or older it has the status "historic". This means it dont has ro obey the newest Emission laws

Yall forgetting about how toyota makes you get a subscription for ur remotestart feature

Hopefully they dont pass the law which makes it mandatory to have electric cars. If that does get passed, Imma start using motorcycles
