...that is basically what my Senator's office told me.
that being said, it is still bad news for the car performance market.
I imagine this would be the end of cruise nights too? A big problem around here was emissions testing all cars built after '67, yet a guy could build a "1932" Ford Roadster kit tomorrow with a Super Stock or NASCAR engine in it and be exempt from all testing because it is a pre-emissions vehicle in their eyes. Absolutely illogical.
Like all the "Green" folks flying their large jets to France rather than a teleconference?
