It is really getting crazy. Next they will start raiding Starbucks meets and PCA breakfasts.

I do have mixed feelings about emission compliance. I grew up in the 60's in So Cal when air quality was unbearable. Every night in summer you went to sleep with a sore throat and shortness of breath from air pollution. Today air quality is 100 times better and I am sure emissions controls have a lot to do with that. On the other hand I have tuned and modified a bunch of cars over the years that would never pass a smog test.

Today my goal is to have a high performance street car and a clean tailpipe. A set of working cats is a small price to pay for clear skies. I'll save the headers and straight pipes for the track monster. Everyone must decide for themselves where to draw that line.
