Rich Towle said earlier, "Older American cars just ran a hose with no filter down underneath the car and used the venturi affect to suck the vapors out of the hose."
That's true. In 1965, it became illegal to run a "road draft tube"in the United States, and it remains illegal today. Just because something "looks messy" isn't justification to choose the laws you wish to obey. Many of you are too young to remember what REAL smog was, and you should thank the "powers that be" for reducing it to the level it is today. While Los Angeles is fabled to have been (and still is, for many people) the epitome of smog, it's far from it. Try Denver, the San Francisco Peninsula, and Phoenix. I grew up in LA County, and I remember well experiencing whole summers where there were maybe 3 days of somewhat clear, safe, breathable air. Now there may be 3 really bad days in the entire summer. Those of you who think YOUR car won't make a difference, and YOUR personal tastes supercede the will (and the right) of the rest of us to have a clean environment, should rethink your role in society.

End of Rant. The Cap'n ...................I couldn't agree more. I grew up in ATLANTA georgia. As a kid it was all too common for cars to bellow smoke down the street, down the highway and down the expressway., sometimes to the extent it was dangerious to follow them.(much less the smell) And it was the obvious sign the car owner was a fool, and unconserned about anyone else. It,s just unfortunate that a few damn irrresponsable asses have forced all of society into the situation we find ourselves in today. Regulation of idiots,and everybody has to pay. The annual emmission inspections are a time consuming pain in the Ass and another cost of owning a car.I have never had a car fail Emmissions inspection but it,s still 2-3 hours out of your life ....for me waisted time, and 25.00 bucks. |
