Like others here I see no reason to pollute the air by removing emissions equipment on street cars. But I am an enthusiast and I do enjoy seeing racing of all kinds including racing cars based on street cars. I'm supporting the bills for that reason.

I can guarantee that all the commercial trucks and buses, school buses and whatnot contribute far more to pollution than all the de-catted rice out Civics.
Why won't Congress regulate commercial transport emissions as a place to start, since it will have more - and more lasting - impact.
And if you want to go for the fringes, how about all the motorcycles, scooters and - lawnmowers, let's not forget those.
Let's cut the hypocrisy if we're really after cleaner air and less CO2. |
Whataboutism.
Quit breaking the law and polluting the air that we all have to breathe just so you can fellate yourself over an insignificant 12hp extra.
