It does seem absurd to be so punative on the California drivers over smog control and performance. Here are a couple of fun facts:

* An average 18 wheeler can polute to the equivalent of 100+ automobiles (Passing the minimal DEQ now existing). Worst of all: diesel containes some Cyclic Petrolium Products - Benzine derivatives - that are extremely powerful carcinogens.

* New NAFTA rules will allow Mexican truckers to operate anywhere in the U.S. without any smog or safety inspection. Everyone knows how strict the Mexican government is about polution control - right?

Question: Why do we continually shoot ourselves in the foot; Mexican Nationals now can get in state tuition at our Universities when American Citizens (out of State)cannot, Mexican Nationals regularly vote in our election process, they own our land, use our health services, partake of free education, and now they have the right to crap in our air, while we are fined heavily for the most minor of infractions.

I am sure that MANY Multinatoinal Corporations (read that - non tax paying/pseudo American companies) will be grateful for the opportunity to pay a Mexican trucking company 1/10th the wages for filthy trucks that crap in our air and endanger other drivers.

This post sucks! Think about it. There are lots of folks here who are of different ethnic (whateva) groups. We have received a lot of good "free" information from everyone which has saved us a lot of money. E.g RK, Ian, up-pipe Adam and Mexican PT and Lord forgive if I've forgotten anyone else. Right now we are trying to get a subsitute package for S2 (thanks KSquared11) and a Turbo replacement package (Thanks RK) for our cars. We have folks who are spending their own time and money to do things and who are providing us the results for "free." Now you post some "@#$%^&" like this. In case you have forgotten, no one ever told us how they made their cars run in the 13"s, all that they gave us was some mumbo jumbo ^&*%^&* about it costing a lot of money and some secert a%^& airbox mod bullcrap. We also have people who posted their Dyno results before and after S1 (Thanks RK and others). So WTF is my point, it is this, without the input and goodwill of a lot of the people who post on this board, we have to do some very $$$ research to find out what works and what doesn't. So before you post crap like this, fix it in such a way that it won't offend anyone. FYI, the people who should take the F%^&king hit for NAFTA are in DC.
