believe that this is the result of individuals' decisions.  What law(s) have
led to this situation?  Where do the "old" cars go?>

I am glad that you were able to visit Italy for 3 weeks (naigh....I really
hate you) :))
But please tell me: what part of Italy was that?  Old cars must go south,
because from Rome on down it gets, lets say ... less rich.
