I share your feelings about getting into impossible-to-resolve political harangues, especially when people take the opportunity to throw in their fears of same-sex marriage, etc. However, some car issues are inevitably political. Eg, I've got to get my car smogged this year and it's going to cost me about $80 for starters, just to have it tested at a special "test-only" station. Then, there's gas prices -- about $2.50 a gallon for regular in San Francisco. Bush has been in power for four years now, and we're supposed to be taking over Iraq, so why are gas prices climbing so fast? Of course, it would be nice if any opinions on these car-related facts of life could be presented objectively and dispassionately, without getting into one's personal feelings about religion, sex, machismo, etc.
