We should regulate cars the same way we regulate guns.

To have a turbocharger, supercharger (External Engine Compression Devices) or a muffler will require an application to the Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A $2000 tax stamp will be required for these High Performance Vehicles. Your request must also be signed by the local chief law enforcement officer, and you must provide fingerprints. If approved in 10-16 weeks, you will be responsible for keeping your High Performance Vehicle in secure storage, and request permission in writing to take it out of state. You will need to carry this documentation with you. There are 13 states that do not allow possession of High Performance Vehicles. Be sure you are aware of those laws before planning your trips. (But really, what do you need such a vehicle for anyway? Who really needs to drive that fast? You must willingly accept and adhere to the socially accepted idea that you are inherently evil for merely possessing such a fast, high powered automobile.)

People wanting to vote literally want to overthrow a duly elected politician, who represents real people in his district. Removing a politician from office should be about more than numbers on one particular day.
Voting should be subject to a $200 tax, and the sheriff of your county should decide whether or not to issue you a permit to vote.
90% of voters just cancel somebody else's vote.
Newspapers have the right to look up party affiliations and publish them. If Republicans in Chicago and DC are intimidated, that's for the best.
