Personally, as a former track only racer, I think that the EPA latest announcement sucks. Spent a lot of time and made some really good friends on and around the race track.

IF anyone thinks Hitler died in a bunker in Berlin in 1945 they are dreaming, he is alive and well as head of the EPA...

People wanted change, that is what they are getting. Be careful what you ask for...

The crappy part of this whole mess is that you can pretty much kiss restorods, custom trucks / cars and even custom motor cycles good bye!

Essentially if you were to restore a 79 f250, you'd be limited to the crappy oem parts and absolutely no aftermarket up grades even though they may be more efficient than the design originally was.

So you want to lift your truck? It wouldn't be a stretch to have the EPA lower the boom on the suppliers of the kits as they are known to lower mpg and therefore increase emissions....

Also, those knuckle heads on that Diesel Brothers show on the Discovery channel sure as hell aren't helping the cause...

Always follow the money. You might have noticed that the ethanol parasites in Iowa own all of our potential leaders.

That's odd...I don't see any DPF tank or catalytic converter on air farce 1 or any of the other similar vehicles these government parasites use to jet set around the world.

Do as we say not as we do...

Yep. You can't spend a billion dollars of other people's $ to get a $400,000 a year job and expect them to not want any favors in return.

We, as a nation, should not be so blind seven years ago and so brain-dead - three.

You know what gets me. How many Homes in the Northern part of this Country Burn Fuel Oil for Heat. Emissions from from Home Heating Plants are completely unregulated and can be seen Spewing Soot into the Environment. Why does the EPA ignore this source of pollution, yet come down hard on our Trucks.

Nipper, its called 'death by a 1000 cuts. EPA now regulates CO2 (you know, the air we EXHALE!) and H2O (except swimming pools).

Point: The EPA will get 'round to it, bet on it!

I forgot about that! There's still a significant amount of homes that are heated by fuel oil. I'd venture a guess that it's at least 30% of all residential homes.

I don't even think new fuel oil furnaces have to have emissions crap on them!
