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! -Ben |

It's not the old classic cars that are the problem....it's the unregulated engines that are....
Agricultural engines used to pump water, supply power, and other needs out in the boonies have little or no controls. Ships in the channel burn cheap shitty high sulfur bunker oil in two stroke diesel motors......right now that's the largest source of emissions in my jurisdiction. The US EPA refused to enforce their own rule (on direction from W's minnions) and my agency is now suing US EPA to get them to do something. Then factor in portable towed engines, like concrete pumpers, wood chippers, aux engines in street sweepers.... CARB and the local air districts are now inventorying ag engines and other portable engines and phasing out the older dirty motors....they are also phasing out high sulfur fuel. Going after early motor vehicles, especailly ones with one year only control devices that are NLA is stoopid. BAR needs to modify rules that would allow mods to intakes systems so that you can do an upgrade w/o getting zapped from changing from stock systems..... I'm STILL pissed at Arnold for signing that law that repealed the rolling 30 year exemption. |
