everyday fool. okay, now i d like my antarctic blue super sports wagon right now. now a few things exemplify american freedom in the last century or so as much as the road trip, the knowledge that at any time, day or night you can decide just to drop everything and hit the road drive south out west cross country. the only thing it can stand in your way is maybe sleep deprivation and you can t achieve today. yet it s becoming clear that like so much else that we love about america, the freedom of the open road, our freedom to travel as far as we want whenever we want is under attack. case in point, tomorrow, california s air resources board is about to approve a total ban of new gasoline powered vehicles. now that s a clear assault on its residents, basic freedom of movement. now the rule will require that 100% of all new cars sold in the state by twenty thirty five be free of the fossil fuel emissions that s up from eight percent today. now, i know these changes you hear twen
