Sorry John, you're wrong, It does directly concern our cars, our hobby and our lives. The thread has evolved, but so has the restrictions placed on us and our cars. The lively discussion shows that it's of interest to the members, and we see what others have to put up with. This directly effects how each of your states will look at things. Most of the politicians don't have the time or the knowledge to determine what is proper, and so, vote along with the myth. Cars are the problem! This must stop! None ever checks to see if the Air Quality has changed, made worse by cars or if even the concepts are right. It's much easier to adopt CA rules than to create rules which are workable for a given area. They can place heavy restrictions on older cars, since there aren't many and thump their chests "Look at how we are protecting the public". Keep looking over your shoulder, they are coming! For the life of me, I can't understand the logic of adding 10% corn squeezings to a gal of gas, when it doesn't burn as well and will take 1.1 gals to go the same distance. Oh Wait! I get it. You raise the price of gas, "corn" it down, and sell more gas to make up for the crappy milage. Then vote themselves a pay raise to cover the extra costs. With all the additives, they're getting 100 gals of gas out of a barrel these days, I guess. There's not much gas in it. (I know better) Don't get me wrong, I'm all for EPA standards, rules, low or no emissions, and clean air. Just base it on good science, and we've about beat the cars to death, let's go regulate the real offenders. Alright, I'll listen to you and we can go back to boring again.
