if the market exists, we should be able to buy bare bones simple stuff with no traction control, no review camera's and screens, no CAN bus. stuff built to be serviced easily, quickly and cheap. the .gov mandates make that impossible. that market might also not exist, but it shouldn't be illegal.

You aren't getting rid of back up cameras and basic traction control. Too many kids have died in wrecks where those features would have easily avoided the deaths. The safety lobby is strong, still not as strong as the manufacturers, but strong enough to keep some things like that in place.

Isn't the CAN bus stuff there to make it easier/cheaper for the manufacturers, plus give them a semi-monopoly on repairs and upgrades? Is there not a way to separate emissions from traction control from my HVAC from my radio from my windows from my lights from my door locks from my heated seats?
