Default CA To Be On Cutting Edge of Increased Smog Control

Since our state is run unchecked by whackos, it's time to step up to a new level of smog control. I'm sure this means some nice new laws to make CA even MORE of a **** state. This along with the new crackdown on illegal mods like loud mufflers, longtubes, N2O and stickers which suggest you are a "streetracer", should really help us in our quest for strict federal control in every part of our life. Welcome to the USSR!

"California should continue its pioneering role in setting mobile-source emissions standards," the NRC said. "The role will aid the state's effort to achieve air quality goals and will allow it to continue to be a proving ground for new emissions-control technologies that benefit California and the rest of the nation."
************...


But many of the industries affected by the state's rules want Congress to strip California of its power because they perceive the rules as too expensive and unnecessary.

the only reason they have such strict laws, is because the population is 61,000,000 people..

As long as there exist smog regulations, there will always be ways around them

Stop whining. The report says that california has done a good job of reducing toxic emissions from both mobile and stationary sources. It doesnt suggest changing anything except improving communications between the EPA and CARB.

Sounds like Briggs & Straton is concerned that there lawnmower engines will be held to the same emissions standards as all the competition. Big ****** deal if they have to pony up for a catalytic convertor. Who cares?

Its 2006 and I can go down the street to my local chevy dealer and buy a 500HP corvette that tops out at 200 MPH. How often could that have occured in the USSR?

And these gay comments... come on, are you guys homophobes? Seems like homophobes are usually supressing their own homosexual interestes. Why do you concern yourself with where some guy (you may or may not know) is sticking his dick?

Holly ****** ****, GR33N is living in UTAH and making fun of gays, liberals and treehugers... ROFL. BAHAHAHAHAHAH.

My flame suit is on so go ahead and fire away. I just wanted to make a post so the f-body community isnt represented strickly by the above BS.

Peace,
A Liberal f-body enthusiast.
