Is Our Hobby in Trouble???
The EPA wants some tough new legislation concerning cars. They say if they can not get congress to go along, they will put it under the clean air act and make up their own rules. If you get a chance to listen to Lisa Jackson, the director of the EPA, talk you will soon find out that she is a psycho socialist when it comes to the environment. I got the impression that she wants everyone to ride a bike to work, school and play. We don't really need cars.
Obama wants to incorporate California's standards (and tougher restrictions) nation wide and announced new CAFE standards. If they make it through I think it will be the mid to late 1970's all over again as far as auto performance goes.
Things are going to get ugly for hotrods, streetrods, kit cars and muscle cars. Time to build a car if you haven't already and hope that it will get grandfathered in.
