Duh...that's the point. 🙄
And the ironic thing is that by keeping, and polishing and driving it (which he said he did a lot in the past and it's the only car he's ever loved), he's contributing to that pollution, while telling everyone else to buy the Tesla.
That makes him a hypocrite, on top of everything else....
..
Don't forget that that 'vette must also have an anti-theft device on it because that is where the old fool stores classified documents and Hunter stores his "line".

The 1967 Corvette was the best of the best
To be upfront, no 1967 Corvette is cheap nowadays. Excluding the mythical L88, the model year’s average condition #2 (“excellent”) value is $135,000, well above the $94,600 average across the whole C2 generation. Values for ’67s range from $42,700 for a base 327/300hp coupe in scruffy #4 (“Fair”) condition all the way up to $540,000 for an ultra-rare L89 in #1 (“Concours”) condition, while an L71 coupe runs from $97,600 in #4 condition to $231,000 in #1, and an L71 convertible from $95,600 to $265,000.
Options make a difference, though, and this is more true for vintage Corvettes than nearly any other classic car we can think of. Pricing notes for C2s in the Hagerty Price Guide include -10% for a Powerglide automatic (when available), +$5K for factory air conditioning (when available), +$12K for bolt-on aluminum wheels, +$5K for 36-gallon fuel tank, +$1800 for leather upholstery, +$2500 for power steering, and +$2000 for side exhaust.

$3.85 million in 2014. And it's scheduled to go under the hammer in 2024 when it could set a new record.

You are old and polluting. Maybe you should be replaced!
Will you ever learn to spell? I thought not.
You know Jim, sometimes people on here come up with brilliant ideas. My hat is off
to you.
Interesting. The first reference is from last year, and discusses threats made BY tfg.
The second reference is from 2017, which makes it rather out of date.

Threats made in 2017 against Trump's life happened during his term and is relevant to the conversation until you place your recent limitations on them. Why would a private citizen and GOP nominee publicize current death threats?

Alberta will be charging EV owners $200 a year [starting in 2025, saying EVs tend to be heavier and therefore] harder on roads. Are EVs really so heavy that they’re chewing up roads? How much heavier are they? – Bruce, Lethbridge
Alberta wants EV owners to pull their own weight when it comes to paying for road maintenance – but battery-electric passenger vehicles, while considerably heavier than their gas-powered counterparts, are far from the heaviest vehicles on the road, experts said.
“For pavement, the biggest cause of damage is large transport trucks,” Kevin Heaslip, director of the University of Tennessee’s Center for Transportation Research, said in an email.
Alberta’s latest budget added a $200 annual tax for EV owners, which it said will cover extra wear and tear on the roads.
The province said the fee is meant to mirror the amount of fuel tax paid annually by the typical Alberta driver.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/mobility/article-evs-are-heavier-than-gas-cars-but-are-they-harder-on-roads/As electric vehicles gain popularity on public roads, our infrastructure is met with new challenges—and not the problems you regularly hear about like creating new charging stations and energy grid enhancements. Rather, the mere weight of these vehicles will lead to rapid degradation of our roads.
Electric cars weigh considerably more than gas-powered cars.
For example, the Ford F-150 Lightning weighs 35% more than the gas-powered Ford F-150 truck.
This overwhelming amount of added weight on our roads can directly cause more stress and may eventually result in the failure of our paved roads.
