Thanks to the combined efforts of the high performance industry and performance enthusiasts like you, the proposed old-car scrappage legislation, Section 822 of U.S. Bill 517, has been defeated. Your hobby, along with countless classic cars, performance parts, and jobs, has been saved. Thank you!

Excellent news :yesnod: Each old car in regular use that gets scrapped has to be replaced. The pollution caused in making a car, & scrapping the other, far exceeds that being caused by the old car. Makes you wonder if these people pushing it have got any brains :lol:

Re: Scrappage Bill Defeated! (UKPaul)
They just passed an ordinance here (Jackson, MS) there can be no cars parked in your yard. Meaning that it has to be sitting on pavement. The penalty is that the car will be towed and a fine must be paid. Saw on the news one guy who is about to pave his entire front yard. He has no junk cars. He just has more car than driveway. As a response to this loophole in the law, the city council in it's infinate wisdom is going to ammend the law to state that driveways should comprise no more than 30% of one's front yard. Well, I live in a garden home with a driveway making up about 50% of my front yard. I am waiting for them to come tow the Vette away.
It just doesn't seem like America when the government can tell you where to park your car on your own land and how much of that land can be concrete.
