Cars are highly subsidized right now. I think it would be good for everyone, car lovers included, if all the externalities would be priced into car ownership. Noise, pollution, space taken up, and road damage should be priced into use of cars. Cars may be private property but they use ridiculous amounts of public space. Everyone can keep their car if they want, but the cost of car ownership should reflect the externalities. This could be done through tolls, annual registration fees based on noise, emissions, and usage or similar measures.
