The problem is that politicians have taken our rights away.

Isn't there any politicians that really care about the ones that voted them in office the first place?

As far as politicians goes it is a free for all for them.

Only in our dreams. They care for #1 and that is not You nor I.

Of course it is. We gave them the mandate to do something and they did. It makes things easier to get done but now we have to pay a price.

Anyone notice on the Ford site that for 2007 the Expedition is being offered with the 4.5L V-8 Diesel?

"4.5L V8 Diesel Engine
300+ horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque. The diesel is designed to get 3-4 mpg better fuel economy on average compared to the 5.4L gas engine."

Now that's what I wanna get my wife!

Only know about California.........It's not illegal to drive a diesel car.

Just can't but one new.....nor can you bring them in used under 7500 miles.

After 7500 miles you can register a diesel car.

I ***/u/me the other states have similar restrictions....

VW's TDI will be on hiatus for '07.........if anyone cares.

Gotta laugh at this thread a tad with the rep of the 6.0 and all!!!
