Definitely the GT350 is an awesome car worth experiencing. And it will only get tougher over time to find a new-ish GT350 to drive.
This is why I don’t think people should be in such a rush to sell these cars to make a quick buck. We are reaching the end of the ICE era and it’s only going to become more and more expensive to replace a GT350 with a similar car without having to go hybrid or electric. And that’s providing that manual transmission survive to the end of this decade.

I think this is right on point. It’s a changing world.

What's folo mean to you? Google says families of loved ones. I don't think that's what you are after. You mean YOLO?
My initial thought was:

Another Damn Set Of Initials That I Have To Google In Order To Find Out What Is Being Said.

Then I was thinking:

I'm some ways that makes me worry about the future value. If our future leaders take away gas stations or force them to raise gas prices to 20 dollars a gallon via taxes, we're going to see people bail on ICE cars. The unfortunate truth is that our government has the power to make this market choice for us. At some point we'll own 3400 pound trophies of the good old days that we can't really use anymore and all move around in boring electric cars.

The GT350s one hope is that because of it's track focus, the value might skyrocket because finding analog track cars in the future looks likely to get harder and harder.

That’s way out of the realm of possibility. Fossil fuels aren’t going any where any time soon. The entire world’s supply chain runs on fossil fuels, internationally and domestically.

I would consider converting a special ICE car to natural gas in order to be able to keep driving it - assuming that is allowed.

You touched on what it’s alll about. And make no mistake, its aimed at developed countries like ours and in Europe. No third world country will have it.

They will have carbon neutral fuels that ICE can run on in a green future. They will be more expensive than fuel from the pump, but have a net zero carbon impact on the environment. Porsche is already investing in this type of fuel - https://www.porsche.com/internation...releases/pag/?id=658673&pool=international-de

I don't think fossil fuels are going anywhere for infrastructure and commercial transportation because they aren't dumb enough to try that yet, but they absolutely are targeting personal transportation. They have the major automakers on board too because of the tax cuts and credits they can offer.

10 years from now is going to look a lot different from today, and I hate it.

It's all about who's agenda the people vote for. We were all told once we that America could not drill our way out of the problem. That was a bald faced lie. We have more oil than the kingdom of saudi arabia. We were pretty much energy independent very recently. And now have reverted back to a dependent. When the good times are gone in few years, it's because we as country voted for it.

Being just bluntly honest, Trump plus a Republican congress didn't really make a dent in actually repealing and replacing anything. Executive orders are good for exactly as long as you are in power, the next guy is just going to rescind them. I think we as voters are pretty much out of the picture now on this issue. The elites of the world are going to look at us like we are trying to hold on to CRT tvs and VCRs and dismiss us.

Oh, it’s coming alright. This law will go into effect in NYC in December 2023, and it is just the start. Expect other cities to follow suit.

In a landmark moment for the effort to combat climate change, the New York City Council voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to ban gas hookups in new buildings. The new law, which New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will sign, bans new gas stoves, boilers and heaters in new buildings and buildings that undergo gut renovations.
