I think the valve covers would be an indication between those years

 

Speaking of California, a friend sent me this link I found interesting...
For Cam Newton, Adding Super Tax Insult to Super Bowl Injury | Cato @ Liberty

 

Please, let's not speak of Kalifornia...

 

What does "K"alifornia stand for? I see it a lot, but all I ever find is a movie of the same name sake!

Anyways - I don't know if I should start another thread or slightly nudge the direction this one is already heading: when I first started I was s bit worried about building such an old vehicle because Denver residents had just defeated a bill to ban pre-catalytic vehicles from their city (Memory is a bit weak on this one - it could have been a different city or slightly different requirements). So I was worried about spending a lot of money on a vehicle I could only drive for a few more years. But, any thoughts on the likelihood of something like this article:

The Old Car Loophole: When Will It Close? | The American Spectator

Additionally, and a bit ironically, I just got an email from Summit Racing about how the EPA is trying to ban vehicles originally manufactured for the road from being converted to race vehicles - yet another push that worries me about building an expensive truck.

 

Denver, Colorado..... wanting to ban pre-catalytic vehicles but they allow the legal sale of a weed that alters your mind with smoke that who knows what it does to your lungs.

 

It's not just Colorado, the EPA is trying to ban people from using your car on a racetrack:

SEMA Action Network (SAN) AA2016FED1

Makes me a bit worried about this slippery slope. That previous link brought up some good points about the graying of the hobby - luckily for us that's the demographic most likely to vote!

 

The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. I see you live here too, Comrade. I'm leaving as soon as I can get out. Grew up in SoCal, have lived here continuously since 1960, but I can't stand it much longer. Won't be much longer before I'm a criminal simply because I own firearms.

And at the rate they're spending money they don't have, the state will be bankrupt soon. We really need to spend $68 billion on a high speed train that, if they could get 1,000 passengers a day, will take 216 years to break even at $86 a ticket.

Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the soap box.

 

Dain jolly if i didn't know any better i'd swear you lived here in illinois .......

 

Bwah ha ha! It's really cute somebody still believes that. You can argue for a presumption of innocence in a court of law, but regulatory agencies do whatever they want. The burden of proof will be on you.

 

I should have kept the link, but the discussion on engines a page or two back had some paragraphs on the onus being on the owner to prove that the engine swap happened pre-99 or such, otherwise it would be assumed it was post 99.

Now, does that go against what most of us believe to be the letter and spirit of the law? I would argue yes, but how many of us have the money to fight it?

 

I just saw on the news that a CA lawmaker has just introduced a law to require that a married man get a permission slip from his wife before getting a prescription for Viagra. What next???

 

Elections have consequences--We get the kind of government (and leaders) we vote for.

 

That's no joke! There was a piece in a magazine that old goats in their 70's are getting it, and their wives want no part of it. Also a problem in old folks' homes. Modern times... gotta love 'em.

 

"Old goats "we are going to resemble that statement very soon then you won't think of it as old!!!!!

 

Lawmaker files bill requiring men to have note from wife, other requirements to get Viagra

It's kind of a joke - the representative that introduced it (I could only find Kentucky) did it as a response to the bills other legislators introduced about abortion.

I had to look it up - it just seemed like something you'd find on the onion. Probably not a bad thing - if the government gets bogged down in ridiculous legislation, then maybe they'll leave the rest of us alone!
