        It's all just blowing smoke, the additional regulations had to do with heavy highway diesels and atv/snowmobiles. All those highlighted passages are already law. Even if you don't have emissions testing, a car isn't EPA legal if it has no cats.

          Chris is right.  These laws are already in place and any vehicle with modified emissions systems is already illegal.

            Megasquirt is "not legal for use on road vehicles"  which is the real reason I haven't driven my car in over a year. 

            Salt Lake has an anti-idling law for the sake of reducing air pollution (currently the worst in the country)  http://aqicn.org/map/usa/#@g/40.7303/-108.0264/4z  where if you are caught idling for longer than 2 minutes (say, waiting to pick someone up) you can be fined. It has also caused some folks to be douchey to eachother and calling eachother out for "excessive idling"

            It is more probable in my opinion that stupid laws like that will happen before extra/more thorough inspections or other things that may cause car guys some worry.

                    your right, it probably will lead to nothing. even if they required all race cars to have emissions equipment, it really wouldn't matter.  but the EPA can still suck it.

                        Wait, that's not good for you?? Having been to that part of the country, that is not the least bit surprising.

                                      You could hear that something was vibrating before the driveshaft blew, which should have been a sign that something was wrong.

                                        the problem is the sound was drown out by the drivers own thoughts *how cool do i look...i look so cool...my v6 is so fast...i look so cool...*
