I bet they could make a car like this for about six thousand dollars. It would be light, so gas milage would be a dream. It could still take advantage of legitimate advances in tech, such as catalytic converters and crumple zones, seat belts (but no fucking air bags). If they build it right, built it tough and to last, it would sell forever. I'd make it an off-road capable vehicle, but one still good for city and highway use. I'd buy it. I grew up with cars that had no power steering, no power brakes. You know what? They drove just fine. Automatic transmissions are OK, good ones are bullet proof, but all the little gadgets, power this, power that, need to go, push button start, keyless entry, sunroofs, heated rear seats, all of them. I mean, WTF? All the electronics needs to go. I don't even care about having a radio. In fact, I'd go back to air cooling to get rid of the radiator.

So many regulations pushed by the environuts and insurance companies. You can't sell a car that doesn't have airbags. It must include a back up camera because some parents backed over their kids and wanted to blame the car. Air cooled won't fly with current emission specs--look at motorcycles needing liquid cooling and catalysts. The government has made affordable cars illegal.
