Doesn't a Vette have zero emissions when it is parked?

I believe the dmv wants a special green tag to park in these spots! For kicks I just might go and apply for 1

My C5 gets fabulous MPG's so I would assume our cars fall into the clean air category. Thanks for the share!

We don't even have inspections here. Hurricanes clean the air.

If he wants to blur out the license plate, that’s his choice. Same as if someone doesn't want to. Not something to get all worked up over. It’s nice if we all just get along.

It would be good to know just what the requirement are for being able to park in a spot like that.

Agreed, but when I'm "attacked" I'm not one to sit back and shut up about it... Initially I simply made an observation....

Here's a link to a list of vehicles currently on the list they qualify for their badge decal the c5 isn't listed although it should be they got a f150 up there from 2000.

He seems boggled by people blurring plates the post indicated he was bothered by a blurred plate . I simply asked a few questions to help my self figure out why this guy is bothered by blurred plates no harm intended. Get along indeed!

Half of the people that argue on forums over petty stuff would probably be friends if they had met at a car show or swap meet.

Because internets.
People act differently when behind a keyboard. You lose a essential part of human communication and some people find it difficult to compensate for that missing bandwidth. With essential information missing (human contact) things can spiral downwards rather quickly.

My commuter car for work is electric (Bolt).all I know is that at 6.8 cents a Kw hour its cheaper to drive it than anything else. Plus the fact that there's no oil or filter changes, no exhaust system and very little on the maintenance schedule. The state of PA requires inspection and the county I live in requires emissions testing (which I don't have to do). We all have the right to an opinion, we just need to respect each others right to disagree. Not everyone who takes advantage of new technology is smug or a tree hugger. I more than offset my "clean living" with a Hemi Charger, Corvette, and a 6.7L Ram diesel.

It sounds like a practical way to keep mileage of the cars you are really passionate for. Not as a lifestyle choice or philosophy of saving the planet.

My friends own electric cars they all say they are scared to death when is the next time the battery is gonna drop a deuce in the middle of traffic. What exactly happens to these batteries when disposed of? out of sight out of mind?

How many people throw tv remote aa batteries in the trash still and don't recycle them same thing is s gonna be with car powered batteries.Landfill . Build autobahns they help cut emissions by a lot. Studies have proved in Germany cars that spent less time getting to their destination also made less emissions. Leave the batteries for rc cars and tv remotes. Hence I got all these speeding tickets to save the environment no good deed goes unpunished lol

I cringe at the thought of when I hear about mandates requiring all cars to be electric by a certain date.
Images of fuel pumps slowly disappearing come to mind, limiting how far and how often you can drive.
With the US dollar being backed by oil, I see a one world currency in the near future.

China is suppose to be the 1st country to go full electric vehicles. As is their emissions laws stand if a car is certain age it will not be road operational. I believe that's 5-10 years old.
