Any "offending" cars still registered in the system? Oh, let's go get them....


What's really sad is China, India, and Mexico are polluting the worlds air at a staggering rate and instead of putting pressure on them, the US gov't decides to enforce stricter standards here. Does the relatively small amount of emissions from a properly maintained car matter when compared to the tons of toxins pumped into the air by factories around the world? Air is not exclusive to one country.

Every year, I work until the end of May before I get to keep a single dollar that I earn. Now BHO wants to make it June and all the while talking about "fairness" in the tax system. "Fair" is everyone paying the same percent of their earnings.

Don't get me started......

Frightening, to say the least. I know I'll never have the oportunity to buy a new vette but it would be a shame if others down the road would be denied the oportunity. Maybe it'll make ours worth more, some day.

I agree to a point with this guy, I agree that the past politicians have "carried the ball the 5 yard line" hopefully the new administration will be stopped before they get to the "end zone"......

We must all unite and vote out all lifers and never let them get a footing! Our Government needs to be afraid of us! Capitalism has a downside but its better then the other option! Oh yeah thats what were doing now!
