    Yeah I’m sure it was.

    It’s a catch 22 though, the clunkers being removed were heavy polluters. I have a 60s C10 and that thing pollutes like crazy. Looks beautiful though.

    Other issues are the CAFE standards that motivated large expensive trucks and the general social change towards large SUVs. I hate those big crossovers, my wife has one and it’s a POS.

      and got replaced with trucks that were twice their size, resulting in zero net gain
