The Jegs and Edelbrocks and Darts and Comps, etc., etc,. just get tired of dealing with it, cash out and go enjoy life.

Summit and others got hit with huge fines too. How do they know the parts are for street use or going on a vehicle that isn't pre-emissions era? If this crap isn't defeated then we could end up having to register car parts like guns.... if we can even buy any.

Jeg's, Summit and the rest of the industry should be protected by the simple "Not for use on street vehicles or vehicles used on public highways" notice that has been used for years. Going after these companies for the sins of the end user is extortion and abuse, and is an underhanded attempt to destroy the car/truck hobby. Period.


Does Louisville Slugger get fined everytime someone uses their bat to clobber someone? Does Ford get fined when some nutjob drives his Explorer through a Christmas parade?

This is the same crap being fought - mostly successfully - by the firearms industry. It's a #### shame that this is being allowed to happen to any legit business, simply because it on the wrong side of political correctness.

Read Jegs return policy - It has changed - not sure exactly when - but it used to be 12 months for most items - not anymore

In their defense, I don't blame them.

My involvement in retail auto parts over the years, and dealing with customers who abuse an already lenient return policy, tells me this is a big money loser for them. The amount of time people waste by buying crap they don't need and then returning it is amazing.

Used stuff returned, worn out junk returned, items that have laid around a dirty shop for 6 months, stuff torn up trying to make it fit, torn up packaging and unsellable items - people have no respect and will abuse the system. So much stuff that just gets thrown in the trash as there is nothing else that can be done with it. It's not just a few percentage points has been my experience.

Air pollution has been a problem for over 50 years in California, there's over 39 million people in the State, there's a mountainous terrain that traps pollution and warm climate that helps form ozone and other pollutant, they gotta do what they gotta do!

Maybe someone should educate them on how minute an impact modified vehicles actually have on the environment.

They are not doing "what they gotta do". They could do away with every modified vehicle in California and it would have as close to ZERO impact as they could possibly get.
