Sierra Club well known here in the Pacific NW. Tree huggers driving Priuses in the left lane going 50mph on the freeway.

Write your Congressman also (I just did). Although as a regulation this wouldn't normally go through a House/Senate vote they can bring a lot of pressure on EPA.
Fortunately we have a Freshman Senator here is Arkansas that loves nothing better than throwing road blocks in front of stupid, progressive Government actions. I think he was the sole Senate vote against the plan last year to allow the House/Senate to vote on the Iran deal (a simple majority vote). Everyone criticized him and questioned how he could be against Congress voting on Obama's agreement. His comment - it's a treaty - should be voted on as a treaty. And we all know how that all turned out. |

See, here is how it works. The EPA is required to keep the air, water, etc clean. There really isn't a defined way they have to do it, they just have to do it. So our state decides to exempt the largest polluters from emissions. Now, the air is still dirty, so the EPA has to keep moving down the totem pole to get the air clean. Next thing you know, they are attacking your BBQ grill in the back yard while the smokestack from the steel processing plant a mile away blankets your house with soot is still exempt. Ohio is ranked #1 in toxic air pollution from coal fired power plants. I have to have my car checked for emissions because our state representatives get huge campaign donations from the utilities. The state says my 2010 car pollutes too much. But the coal plant? Not so much. |
Tell me about it :eek: We have beautiful lakes that have gone dead from acid rain coming this way from Ohio coal fired plants :CRY:

It is the same out here in California. We have a fiberglass plant here that no one wanted and voted against it. They went to our crooked politicians and paid them and they made the county let them put it in, also free of any taxes for two years. It puts out more pollution every year than all of the cars in half of the state put together and people get sick that live close to it. They tried to sue to make them fix the filters and the Govts. answer was for them to move away and then they sold them, the right last year to increase the amount of crap they can dump into the sir by 5 times. Cleaning up the air in this state has nothing to do with the EPA or any other outfit. It is all about how much money they will pay our politicians to let them keep on dumping more into the air.

This is ridiculous.......politicians creating jobs. This would destroy people like Summit, and every job related to the aftermarket.This is like a traitor undermining our lives......

Be it known that the only way this crap happens is because the people who dreamed it up were appointed by the people who were elected. That would be the same crowd that has deemed coal to be an inappropriate fuel and will eliminate an entire industry in the next 10 years. This can be fixed in November.

Judge Scalia passed away today. About the worst thing I can think of happening this year, at least up until the election. If the EPA final rule ends up in the courts now - could be a bad outcome for our hobby. :CRY:
|
With this administration no one should be surprised & with Judge Scalia passing Katie bar the door. I agree it could be a bad outcome for our hobby and for those of us who loves our guns, better hold on to them tight.
|
Yes, we (America) lost a great one with his passing. It could be bad for our hobby for sure!

This law potentially states you cannot take a street car and remove the emissions to turn it into a race car. Do you REALLY think all the engines, intakes, cams, heads, etc are all going on race cars converted from street cars? My car is titled as a 2000 model and it is 100% exempt from emissions. |

Joyridin,
I am not trying to start anything just asking a question, so please don't a bunch jump in with opinions. How do you get a 2000 car that you don't have to have pass emissions? Out here we have to have them checked every other year if they are 1975 or newer and any changes they will fail even if they meet the tailpipe requirements. On the other hand, the cars that are changed over for racing can't be registered or driven on the street. A chrome aftermarket air cleaner can cause you to be failed it the referee is in a bad mood. Ron :confused: |
Anyone who thinks these new regulations won't effect a hobby like ours because they don't race their cars should read this article:

Sounds to me like the real benefactors of this would be the Auto manufacturers. By, in effect, outlawing aftermarket engine parts, the manufacturers would have the market on performance cars & be able to raise the prices exponentially of performance based models.
