We already have outlawed absurd things?

We've already banned marijuana, gay marrige and other outrageous completely/nearly harmless things?

If the US is so ban-happy, why not ban things that actually make things worse? Like destroying classic cars?
Well, marijuana can harm the body. Gay marriage goes against people's belief's.

Destroying classic cars is in no way relevant to anyone's health, religion, or morals. It's like if the U.S. put a ban on, say, stepping on bugs: Completely and utterly pointless.
marijuana isn't harmless. gay marriage is determined by voters in each individual state. Ironically, in the future, classic cars will probably be banned because of the pollution that they make. Its all determined by the people. (im not naive i just have good faith in our government... sounds crazy doesn't it?)

Excuse me? Banning classic automobiles would just be yet another absurd thing.

I assume you're suggesting they be banned because they tend to have dirtier exhaust than modern cars do, or perhaps because they don't handle as well or are not quite as safe (no airbags, really old ones don't have seatbelts, etc). Classic cars (which according to my definition of 'classic', is any popular type of car that's 30 years or older) aren't going to be banned in the U.S., nor do they need to be. It's obvious that nobodys manufacturing any more of them, and fewer of them are on the roads every year due to the fact that over time many owners gradually decommission them from general use anyway. Very few people, for instance, would use something like a 1955 Chevy as a daily driving car and would only occasionally take it out of the garage for show. There really aren't enough old cars on the road to make a big difference in the environment, although I can possibly foresee some of the state governments tightening the emissions restrictions on their exhaust. If you've got an old car, the engine had better be perfectly tuned or you may not be allowed to drive it.

And let's suppose you ban old cars in general - how are a lot of poor people supposed to get to work? Should we discriminate by only allowing well-to-do people to drive who can afford to buy a new car every 4 years? You'd better be prepared to make some serious improvements in our country's public transportation system if you're going to implement such a policy.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. Yeah, that's a great idea, but I'll keep my above post anyway as it's just too good to delete.
