Question emissions

curious is................ the Bush Administrations position....

Scientists all agree that global warming is happening and caused by humans burning fossil fuels. 7/10 th's of 1 degree rise since 1970....
~
on the one hand its said that mandatory caps are not needed because of voluntary efforts.... yet what's a car's inspection sticker for...thats certainly not (voluntary) [safety issues aside...]
by our choice, and is mandatory.....

His administration has argued strongly against mandatory climate-related emissions caps, contending that its voluntary program is countering the growth of those emissions, but not actually reducing the tons annually being released into the atmosphere.

My advice is to know someone who does the inspections. Its all bout who you know. There has to be a few mechanics that would trade plugage for a nice shiny inspection sticker. Another hint for passing emissions. If you have snow tires on they have to do the tail pipe test as opposed to the other one thats tougher to pass. If its before may 1 throw some snows on the vehicle and hope for the best, thats the only reason i passed the emissions and its pretty good for a ford ranger with 190k. he said i was close but was a pass none the less. For me knowing a good mechanic is about as important as knowing a good cop.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Same thing if you have all wheel drive or full-time 4wd.
