I agree. But I don't think that the enviromentalists have a right to try to
regulate a car that was designed without the tools to operate under current
emissions standards. What's more productive is that they work with
legislators, engineers, etc and come up with a way to reduce current
pollutant levels from new cars. Lets face it - there are more new cars out
there than there are LBC's. And, how much longer will the LBCs be around? I
don't mean to cast a shadow over anybody, but how long can you extend a
vehicles lifetime? All of these cars (and my Mercury!) probably won't be
around for another 100 or so years. So, the impact that the LBC's (and the
whole automotive enthusiast world) has on the enviroment is probably nil.
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth. Send all flames to my private mailbox! =)
