Morning. Someone posted a link maybe a week ago to a really informative vendor site specializing in GC8 suspension. I tried searching, but had no luck. Can someone repost the link?

Hey, guys, we can't prove global warming is caused by vehicle emissions, but we should increase taxes based on that assumption. Also, lets tax gasoline, which is already extremely expensive and is causing issues for small businesses, middle-class (and below) families and hurting the economy. Brilliant!
the reason the present economy sucks *** is because america is now full of whiney pussies.
if public transit actually worked. if people were willing to carpool. if everything we do wasnt tied to the price per gallon of gas,....
we wouldnt care when gas hits $5

our gas taxes arent high. try driving in europe. America has enjoyed cheapo gas for too long. instead of cutting taxes on gas to help people we should increase user based fees like the gasoline tax.

One of the problems california has with public transportation is how it is viewed by the public, and looked down upon... Automatic poor status

Vendor forums, the thread by RaceComp. I linked to it a week or so ago. They sell a number of very comprehensive, very good packages for GCs. Great prices on quality components. I'm rockin' a set of RCE coilovers on my 93 now. Or at least, will be once my rear diff issues are sorted out.

the problem with public transportation is that it takes 2~4x longer to go anywhere. i work off Florin and French (ghetto) and live near Bradshaw and Folsom. it's like a 15 minute commute for me.
to take public transportation, i would have to:
walk to bradshaw and folsom
take bus from bradshaw to butterfield
take light rail from butterfield to watt
take bus from watt to florin
walk/bike/hitchike from watt and florin to office
in my truck i drive down bradshaw, right on florin, left on french.
kind of ironic that the sac RT trains were built by us...

compared to driving that saves about an hour and a half. your correct that our system here is slow as ****, but thats because our area limitless space to expand so we waste land and gas has always been cheap.
expensive gas will change peoples habbits and desires. which will change the people they vote for. which will change our ****forbrains city planners. it will force business to become more efficient.
eventually.
the only reason the gas tax is stupid is because we subsidize the oil industry in CA. something like 80% of the revenue from the gas tax here in CA ends up right back at chevron exxon and shell because the state pays them just to be here in the form of tax breaks and subsidies.
**** that.
who cares if oil production moves to another state and user based taxes go up. maybe those billions of dollars we'll save can be spent teaching english to the 60% of the state that cant speak it.
userbased fees are better than regular taxes. why should i be punished for saving money and carpooling as much as the jackass with 2 hummers and a home eq loan?
