Of course, its a half baked scheme. Do you expect anything less from our government?

 

why would they do that? they'd just find the most restrictive state, and tune their vehicles for that...

that way, they could just 'cookie cutter' the ECU tuned emissions for 1, and not worry about the rest.

 

as if our state could afford to enforce it.

 

What do you mean "enforce" it? This is going to be for new cars. This is not retro active. Cars that have already been produce are not affected by this.

this is a bit old... but, i doubt the standings have changed much at all.

2007. cant find a 2008 rank yet... but, no subaru?

 

hey...so what if i do that...

 

then you might be a republican.

but, in all honesty, i dont fall into 'democrat' OR 'republican' clothing very well at all... on some things, i am very conservative, on other things i'm very liberal.

 

Maybe you're a libertarian - fiscally conservative, socially liberal. Here is a short political quiz - it's a bit biased, but still interesting nonetheless.

The auto mfg'ers are almost bankrupt as it is. How does it make any sense to give them a multi billion bail out to then turn around and make more regulations that make it even more difficult to do business? The government (especially california) is just making it harder and harder to do business in the us, and that doesnt mean that businesses are gonna suck it up and pay more, they are just gonna find a more profitable place to do business (ie-not in the us). That's gonna mean less jobs, less tax money, and a even worse economy.

Go obama!

 

thats tuolumne county.

calaveras county on the other hand doesn't even have catalytic converter laws. so i never have to worry about **** here

 

In calaveras county 2wd cars dont even have to be put onto a dyno lol..

every car just does one standing test in its lifetime with the owner. its ****ing great

 

ok. first and foremost, only the AMERICAN automakers (not the japanese, korean or european) are in the crap boat. only the AMERICAN automakers will suffer from these regulations.

so, shut up about it already. dont think that Toyota, Subaru, Honda, Nissan, etc will suffer from this - THEY WONT.

btw kyoung05, yes my results placed me HEAVILY in the libertarian sector. i dont know enough about their ideals (as a whole), so i cant say if its a good or bad thing...

although, i do AGREE with tax increases IF those revenues are used properly and not wasted on drugs, hookers and buyouts.

 

Now you're denying our government figures the stress relief they deserve after a long day spent squandering our money and ignoring the wants of the majority?!

 

the end result will be Californians buying cars out of state. This will be horrible for California's economy, which is collapsing as it is. In short, Obama is a moron. He does whatever he thinks sounds good at the time, but doesn't look at long term consequence.

 

What good is that going to do? They'll till have the register it and take it for emissions in the state they registered it in.
