We're a car magazine, so what are we doing getting into politics? Very simply, legislators at the local, state and federal level all pass ordinances and laws affecting the automotive aftermarket. Some of the laws are helpful, like easing titling and registration regulations. But some are onerous and, in some people's opinion, overreaching-such as limiting the kinds of go fast goodies you can install on your car. So, we have to be involved in the politicial process if we want our hobby, our industry, to exist.
With that said, we'd like you to check out carinitiative.com to learn more and stay up to date with the latest issues affecting the automotive aftermarket.
