Damn you bastards. Do you know what it is like trying to pass inspections in Austin Texas?

"Hey can I slip you a ten to pass me?"

"No but you can give me that ten to stop me from having my manager call the cops on you for bribery."

Methyl-tert-butyl ether is added to gasoline to increase the oxygen content which makes for a cleaner burning fuel. You could try some of that, its common name is MTBE.

how about move to another state, I would hate emmissions, and if they hit here I would just pay some guy off.

Emissions will eventually become a federal law (more than likely). The states and areas that pass them have to many possitive benefits because of them.

I mean we all just think it is great for some *** in a 1986 Ford F-150 (with like 180 hp tops) to drive around without a cat and massive cam.

I just love waking up to that every morning.

Then they all have to compete to see who can spout out more black smoke and have an even louder more obnoxious sounding truck with even less low-end torque.

Wow I miss Texas.
