Just adding a point to my preceeding note:

If the State owns the highway, they can tell 
you what height your
vehicle can be to use it (due to overpasses 
etc..).  The State can also
tell you what type of vehicles they want 
driven on it (i.e. ones that
don't pollute, hence, emission controls). 
The State can also tell you
how fast you can drive, and can give you 
speeding tickets if you disobey.

BUT the State cannot tell you which car (in a 
perfectly legitimate car
market) you can or cannot buy.

**Finally, the State cannot tell you that you 
do not own the car *you* bought and paid for.
