Default We need to watch this 2min vid and sign the petition

Even though im in Canada, i wanted to post this.

I hope u all take the time to watch and sign this. Its the lefties trying to outlaw things like exhaust mods. Which is the gateway to outlawing racing. And eventually the outlaw of the internal combustion engine. I typically stay out of this sort of stuff, but thought, as far as politics go, in this regard, enjoying our vettes, we may be mostly similar.

Dont mean to offend anyone and hope im not offside posting this here. If i am, i wont be offended if mods pull it.

They just stole a presidential election and no one has done jack **** to stop them, other than Trump himself. They are so far out of control now it isn't funny anymore. They are literally trying to put the squeeze on every aspect of life as we know it.

Blaming the left is stupid. Y'all act like the EPA just started doing this.

Here's a list of the EPA's cases from 2017 and 2018:
2017 Clean Air Act Vehicle and Engine Enforcement Case Resolutions
2018 Clean Air Act Vehicle and Engine Enforcement Case Resolutions
Notice that some of those companies have Performance, Tuning or Motorsports in their names.

In 1989 the left epa tried to enforce a complete and total ban on asbestos. The supreme court, thankfully, slapped them down.

Big government is a tool of the left. Anyone who doesn't know this is a brain dead moron.

If you don't enjoy clean air and water, there are counties you can move to that have more freedom in that department.

But back to the subject, when eVehicles dominate the landscape any ICE vehicles will stick out like a sore thumb and then the stuff will really hit the fan. I hope the picture will look different very soon to preserve our fun at the tracks with our ICE's. It would appear that if a group of folks have no need of another's hobby they simply try to bring down the power of government to make others conform to their ideas of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (even though I suspect they are really filled with jealous misery)

Actually, dandypants, in both our countries, one side does *not* get to tell the other side to leave if we dont like it.

Like civilized folks, we debate, and the pendulum swings, to and fro. If it goes to far in either direction, our grandkids are thankful that as a democracy, there are checks and balances, notwithstanding they may take a long long time to reconcile the account.

As far as being told to leave my country because my viewpoints differ than yours, you can chew on a bag of wrenches, and this is precisely the type of attitude and behaviour that leads to the pendulum eventually swinging the other way.

Good day to you.

yeah because when the epa oversteps, it's because they're trying to clean the water and air, right?

That's why they got slapped down by the supreme court. Because a complete ban of asbestos was all about cleaning the water.

You should move to a country where people won't call out your stupid remarks and make you look foolish.

I think it's another example of not letting a crises go to waste and moving the bar to achieve a outcome, now that most of the real pollution has been removed from ice engine, they use CO2 as a excuse to outlaw it over bogus "climate change" policies. Nobody wants pollution, I even run cats on my race car. Climate is always changing. It's important for us to let our voices known on these issues. Thanks for posting Cleetus's video.

Yep....designating CO2 as a pollutant is absurd...every tree that ever existed is a polluter by that definition.
