The future of the automobile

With all of the change going on in today's world, the future of the automobile as we know it is at stake. The likes of shrub sucking scabs have worked their way into modern government and are forcing companies to "go green". One look at the elementary school curriculum, and you'll see their propaganda spreading forth into the minds of our young quicker than that of communism. Yes my fellow gas guzzling junkies, our performance days our numbered. I hate to say it, but we are a dieing breed. Take a look at modern policies against our kind and you'll see the truth. Modified vehicles are being crushed, emissions fines are increasing, and the technology to capture our pride is quickly advancing. The future of performance is at stake, along with the ability to modify and build vehicles to our custom preference.

Modern advancements that suggest elimination of our passion:

• MCE-5: The future of internal combustion
• Buy a Tesla Roadster? Read this first!
• Shell's nitrogen enriched gasoline
• What is BP Invigorate?
• Sports cars powered by salt water
• Scuderi Air Hybrid engine
• Dodge Circuit EV unseen footage
• GM Puma is the future of transportation

Let's take a look into the future. Jump in my mind's time machine and go for a ride. We might start out in a supercharged monster of performance, but by the time we reach our destination it will have transformed into a glorified golf cart. Yes, the future holds many changes which are grandiose to those who prefer safety over speed and could care less about our passion to modify and gain performance. To our kind, it's a sad and dismal future of which we will no longer have the pleasure of pursuing our lust for internal combusted power.

The first thing to go, which is obvious even by today's standards, is the large and small block sports cars. Currently, the automobile manufacturers are figuring out ways to bring hybrid technology into our once beloved vehicles of speed. Performance isn't suffering much yet, but give it time and it will. The only way they can market green technology successfully without plummeting is by slowly recessing our gas guzzlers into sippers; and then on to extinction. What about the race track vehicles? Modern movements to convert to ethanol are the only way we can slow down the process. You can rest assured that if modern racing doesn't adapt it will surely be denied existence. All of automotive performance, hobby-ism, and addiction is slowly being dissolved. If the following video is any indication of what is to come, blood, sweat, and gears is soon to be renamed bunions, sweat, and gears.

Mark my words, within the next fifty years you'll be facing prison time if you modify the engine of your vehicle. We are already looking at hefty fines if our vehicles don't meet emissions, once they have the technology to enforce these laws successfully it will be all over. It's not a matter of if, but only when. Say goodbye to fuel rails, high flow fuel pumps, stand alone engine management systems, and forced induction. The more air you pump, the more gas you must burn to accommodate the boost; forced induction will be targeted first. No more converting your 25 mile per gallon four cylinder into a 15 mile per gallon race car and taking the old lady for a ride on Saturday night. It's a sad scenario, but there is something we can do.

Our only choice is to enjoy the day we have now, and seek as much performance as possible during the last days of petroleum charged pleasure. I urge all of my fellow speed junkies to seek your dreams of boost and loud exhaust while you can. If it is your dream to convert that Honda Civic into a fire breathing JDM dragon, do it. If you dream of making that pick-up truck louder than a freight train, go for it. Don't wait any longer, because the future of vehicular performance is unstable. The way technology is progressing, if we get fifty years we'll be lucky. Look at how much things have changed since fifty years prior; our freedom of building performance vehicles is quickly being eliminated. Soon there will be no more, and if you hadn't sought your desires you will be filled with what-if's instead of what was.
