The future of motoring is electric. But what does this mean for us driving our classic cars? Will it come to a point where it will be illegal or untenable to drive our older gas-powered cars? Are Kris's concerns of someday being told he can't drive what he wants, where he wants, actually valid?
Jake is joined by our official unofficial Overcrest legal advisor Dave Aubrey to look at the laws, the structure of our government, and how it relates to regulations around motoring.
Then, motoring corespondent at large, Joel Feder, joins us to explain what is happening in the industry, and what it means.
