with the bill S.B. 1549 about changing the smog for pre-1976 cars, and the German laws about classic cars in urban areas, what is your input, and feelings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I have to write a research paper for my English class, and i chose this topic becasue i def. have a stance on it (opposed to these laws) and it does concern me becasue i own an old car. I figured that a great addition to the paper is other peoples opinions and reasons for their opinions becasue this concerns almost everyone. If this smog trend continues, more states and governments will go after our 'polluting' old cars on the road.

So please chime in!!

Thanks in advance for your input!

If we want to do something about pollution we should quit breeding consumers like we live at a religious compound in Texas for gods sake. Either that or figure how many people buy gas in this country and come up with a system to ration what fuel we have left. The guvnincompoops job would be to import less fuel each year. Americans would be free to buy or sell their coupons for fuel or burn them all up in one day driving their hummer retrofitted with the QE2 engine if that put lead in their pencil. I would ride my bike to work so I could blast about in the 914 like Dr Jeckyll now and then. People who have to commute a 100 miles a day better figure out how to carpool, ride a bus, hitchhike or learn to ultramarathon. This might stand a better chance of curbing the global obesity disaster if anything. Hmmmm....... Maybe I could set up a liposuction clinic with direct conversion to biofuel............Hotdang....I've just pulled us back from the precipice of energy collapse. Wheres my Nobel prize by the way???
