Government can ban performance??
 

Stopped by the magazine rack at the exchange today and it seemed like every one that was performance related had something on the cover about the gov is trying to ban performance parts, modified cars and trucks, bigger tires, project cars ect... Haven't had much time or ability (on the road) to look in to it, anyone else heard anything about this?

I guess there will be more people unemployed, cause most diesel owners mod their trucks, I didn't modded my 1999 F-250 7.3, which I sold & I haven't modded the 2008 6.4 F-250:humm:

Get ready for the US to be a 3rd world country. Better watch who you vote for. in NOV. :argh: :scare2:

I see underground diesel perfomance.....

That would be a sad day though. It just feels like we're getting farther and farther away from democracy and "the will of the people".

I am jumping on the band wagon to protest this! for years they have been trying to stop us from fixing and upgrading our trucks! If none of you do or say anything and they bann us whos fault is it?

Wont happen.

Just like how recently Congress basically told Apple to GTFO STFU,and made it LEGAL to mod/jailbreak YOUR phone. They had been trying to make it illegal and whatnot.

Its called "fear mongering". If it weren't for such tactics nobody would watch the news, read a newspaper or buy tabloids. They're simply trying to increase sales by attracting more eyes towards their product.

There is nothing to ban. If a company wants to make a performance product all they have to do is demonstrate to the EPA (and CARB if they want to sell in CA) that their product doesn't produce emissions outside of legal limits or engine longevity. This is an expensive process, but at the same time it guarantees quality products that don't just dump in fuel for more power and that only companies serious about their product will make the effort. All the hacks and scammers will simply slap an "off road use only" label on their product.

Manufacturers can't ban them through warranty denial because the Magnuson Moss act won't allow it.

It isn't illegal, its contractual, thats why the government refused to side with Apple. It IS Apple's phone until the warranty is expired or voided. You jailbreak the phone, you use it was it wasn't designed, if it develops a problem, Apple can refuse to fix it. Simple as that.
If you used software to overclock your computer's CPU and fried it, could you honestly and morally expect the computer maker to fix your mistake?

it wont happen its just that retard thats in office, just like hes trying ta make you license your house, hes just trying ta put his power in fear on the american people, but do you honestly think that this will pass??????? theres no way that it will look at how many people it will unemploy and at how many events suck as pinks will fall thats all revenue for the states, IT WONT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush has been out of office almost 2 years.
