and cops, and pretty much all authority figures. Look around, the country is a shit hole, but today today I’m going to have to give Congress a little credit. Originally brought to the table by SEMA, Senate Resolution 513 hereby recognizes July 9, 2010 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day”. Good news for us cars guys, but still, don’t they have more important things going on right now? Anyway, the resolution recognizes that “the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States.” and “encourages the Department of Education, the Department of Transportation and other federal agencies to work to support events and commemorations of ‘Collector Car Appreciation Day,’ including exhibitions and educational and cultural activities for young people.”
What may be even more interesting is that while reading about this resolution I learned about The Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus, a coalition of lawmakers who support the specialty-equipment aftermarket and recognize the industry’s positive impact on the economy. 100 Senators and House Representatives, republican and democrat alike, are members. Hmm…why am I still being profiled and pulled over just to get fucked with for having a carbon hood or an exhaust ticket for a 50 state certified system? Anyway, if you’re interested a complete list of it’s members can be found HERE
Just don’t give them too much credit, underneath it all they’re still just a bunch of liars, thieves, and hypocrites, some just happen to dig cars.
