Just so that you good people in Wisconsin don,t think you are alone, we have some similar problems over here (though not as yet with the Pinzgauer) Our problems started about a decade ago when a Socialist (that means Commie) government got in, they brought with them lots of European legislation (costing us billions) and lots of "green"and "save the polar bears" types. You will probably, if you do ever manage to find out who originated it, find that it came from just one middle management type who if it,s "she" has "green - save the polar bears" issues, or if its a guy, probably hates anything military (a soldier once stole his girl!!!) but they can be very persistent and always seem to get others on their side, with the old arguments "it,s for the public good" or "if it saves one life". Funn thing is they, if given this power, will always, always abuse it, they never try to bring in legislation which makes people happy or requests/directs them to some good and happy thing, Oh no! it is always YOU MUST NOT, YOU MAY NOT, This is NOW PROHIBITED!!!!!!. Console yourselves with the thought that they are Leftie idiots with Sad,Sad lives and they Will, Mark my words, die unhappy. At the moment this kind of legislation here has only really hit "Kit Cars" and complete chassis up rebuilds on older cars. We used to have a rolling exemption from our yearly Road Tax (somewhere around £200 per year for a Pinz) for all classic vehicles which would by now have been somewhere in the early-mid eighties, but as soon as this Left Wing government (many of its members are former communist party members) got into power they halted the exemption and would have liked to get rid of it altogether, its only be luck and the fact that they have never had the time to force more legislation through that we have got away so far. (Lefties always will try to interfere and CONTROL) As it stands the exemption is for vehicles pre- 1973. But we are lucky in that I don,t ever see anyone trying to stop a person having any vehicle they like as long as it complies with construction and use regulations for the year that it was made. (for instance a guy somewhere in England has a T72 tank on steel tracks which he drives on the road now and then, he should know the law he is an ex policeman.)

This turn of events deeply saddens me. This combined with our current economic problems, the media's concentration on Michael Jackson's funeral rather than the Cap and Trade bill in Congress, and watching Barney Frank now claim that deregulation of the rules for home loans needs to happen, i.e. the same thing he blamed for causing the housing crisis.

I think Drednought summed up our situation as well as his own.

Florida provides for life time registration and optional plate display for MVs, has no income tax, and led the way for the "shall issue" rule providing its citizens self protection that most states have adopted. Only two ban a citizens right to self protection, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Here's some great irony: WisDOT can afford to spend money fighting little green trucks in court, but they can't afford to mow their own weeds:

(Here in SW Wisconsin, we've got a real problem with invasive plant species, like poison parsnip, garlic mustard, crown vetch, thistles, etc., and they're commonly spread along highway right-of-ways.)

Cool, huh?
