- Looks like motorsports in the USA are in danger once again. Today we talk about the RPM Act and why it is so important to our culture and why we all need to take action against the EPA. We talk about what the RPM Act is protecting, why SEMA is fighting so hard for it, and the world of modified cars. Today we explain car culture vs the EPA. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday!

The funniest part about this, is the EPA going for SEMA, where half the cars don’t even run🤦🏼♂️
Exactly ✌🏽
Facts!
Lmao
SEMA isn't just a show my guy.
Nonsense, they run off of bluetooth 🤣
EPA: *makes car parts illegal*
Normal Street racer: *Chases after semi truck in 3 black Honda civics*
Holy crap. F&F is a look into the future
Car tops out at 140 mph..
Driver: i need to go faster
*buys 2 big ass nitrous bottles*
That's from a fucking movie, troll. TRUE car enthusiasts EARN their parts. Not steal them.
@@TivonSanders You're not serious right?
@@edgiestofcars Dude they were stealing CRT TVs and DVD players.
I live in Los Angeles, and after this it definitely made me laugh because they expect us to get rid of Gasoline powered cars for electric. They expect 40 million people to rely on electricity to power their cars and their homes all at the same time. IN A STATE THAT SHUTS ITS POWER WHEN IT GETS WINDY AS HELL
"I live in Los Angeles."
Damn bro I'm sorry for your loss, hope things get better for you. :(
I used to live in LA. When shit like this started happening, I got out of there. Yet everyone thinks Democrats and leftist ideologies are better than right side ideologies. Kiss my ass you annoying ass Democrats, wanting to make our lives even harder and even difficult to live by taking away and infringing peoples rights in general.
We here in British Columbia have been building a new hydroelectric dam in the north on the peace river and its been controversial since day one,imagine if everything goes electric,we’ll have to build 5 more dams and have to endure the fallout for years to come. No matter what we do,it’s wrong. Even if we all ride bicycles here in Canada from now on,it ain’t gonna matter to the rest of the world in the big picture.
Big cities/states like that need to invest in public transportation like high speed railways so we can get more cars off the road and not have to worry about going electric
I live in San Diego, and I remember the power outages we had just recently.
If they take away my cars, I'm taking away my skill to fix their cars.
Imagine if all mechanics protested. That would be powerful
U might get “lost” while in the process of not working for the state,i mean government sorry
Your skill won't b needed, so it won't matter.
@@headofthetable5755 lmao people will always need their cars fixed goofy
@@headofthetable5755 can you reprogram a E.C.M. I can.if all auto techs protested how many cars would never get fixed??
I don't even live in America and this pisses me off, they're literally lying through their teeth about the car community and ostricising us for no legitimate reason!
Exactly, this is more or less being done to push identity politics on the community.
Yup - this is an introduction to American politics. They do this bullshit ALL the time.
@@ryanainlay224 I mean look at AOC for example, she grinds my gears!
Welcome to being a conservative. What your seeing with this nonsense is the same lies that the media smears the right with daily.

“Yeah looks like we got a kid building an illegal race car out of his moms garage. Had reports of him cutting the exhaust off a 350z”

Man it’s already like that’s in sub divisions and apartment complexes lol
Oh crap he’s got E85. Arrest him
can you imagine being in prison and being asked the question. So whatcha in for? You: Did a muffler delete on my car. Him: Me i did a double murder by shooting one dude then using his innards to make a noose to kill the other one. Making criminals out of car enthusiasts. Mfers must have a lot of time on their hands to think of stupid shit like this to make the "law" and you know theres some ass hat cop that'll kill you to enforce it to.
Genuinely hilarious that they're going after turbo's and superchargers seeing as companies use them to gain higher hp figures while keeping fuel efficiency. But ya know, fuck common sense.
Or the fact that automotive transportation makes us less than 2% of yearly emissions but we’re using the environment to take cars
Get rid of tuners that make older vehicles for efficient..... smart
Rotary motors get better gas milage with 1 stage turbo kits
As a Canadian Car & Gun lover, it has been my dream to move to America for a while now. Wishing luck to my neighbours down south, good luck and god speed.

This sounds like a quick an easy way to create a black market of non taxable parts

@@augustgade7084 last of the V8s and turbos go first
Exactly. The parts will still be available for sale on the black market but now uncle sam won’t get his tax money. Regardless its a lose lose situation for the country. The should let it be sold legally and tax it. If tis law goes through then they will lose even more money. Dumb people making dumb laws don’t think of the outcome even if it will hurt them as well.
@@amerituss8371 I’m chilling with banning v8s on road cars but not on track
@@augustgade7084 the EPA doesn't realize by these new kind of laws there are going to be another kind of traffiker the traffikers of aftermarket parts they can bring them from Japan in planes and ships and sell them in hide garages in the U.S also the stupid system is forcing the cops to drive 4 cyl hybrid cars that won't keep up with the sports cars with V8 I6 engines and turbo 4 cyl engines there is going to be more illegal street racing than It was 25 yrs ago

Its really like that lol
Same with the ATF.
ATF: *bans a certain type of part for a firearm*

Visual modifications may be and I think are covered under freedom of speech, but mechanical modifications are a lot more tricky to count as speech, as the modification of an object is often a result of tailoring said object (this case a vehicle) to one's wants and needs more than as a statement
Didn't the first 2 cars ever made in history start *_FROM LITERALLY RACING EACH OTHER TO SEE WHO IS FASTER???_*
I believe they also involved in the first auto crash
Only the second one might have been built with that motivation. The first one, obviously being the only one in existence, didn't have that motivation.
The first one, even though it technically was a tractor in a way, the Cugnot Fardier, was for military purposes

It can always be worse, you could watch the 6 o'clock news aka local press release team.

Welcome to leftism
In Saskatchewan Canada. They banned lifted and lowered vehicles super fast without people knowing. We got a snow storm and our local 4x4 club used there recently turned 'illegal' trucks to save a bunch of stranded people. About a month later they actually got the law retracted and were good to go again.
Hahaha they fucked up good on that one
@Heavy Metal Collector depends where you move. British Columbia is strict on diesel trucks Rollin coal and emissions for cars. A guy I know has a 400awhp evo with a wide body. Cop was being a jerk to him and wrote him up to get him to go for a safety and it passed safety test. So as long as things are done properly you can modify stuff.

THIS IS ABOUT THE NEW EPA CLEAN AIR ACT
Container ships
Shipping containers produce more greenhouse gas emissions than some small countries. According to The Essential Daily Briefing: “It has been estimated that just one of these container ships, the length of around six football pitches, can produce the same amount of pollution as 50 million cars. SO HOW ARE THESE MODIFIED CARS HURTING THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN 1000'S OF THESE CONTAINER SHIPS FROM CHINA COME TO THE AMERICA YEARLY AND THE EPA LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF POLLUTION CREATED BY ALL THESE MODIFIED CARS IS A FRACTION OF WHAT 1 OF THESE CARGO SHIPS PRODUCE. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL HERE.
@@Frank289100 they also look away at planes trains semis and buses and saying that out of 5% or less in the country of america is creating alot of pollution because they have modded cars and trucks sounds like they all mad at us for creating a bigger problem yet u got nuclear plants and damn electric cars making more pollution than a modded car they really want to get under our skin but dont listen to em or just move out of the country
@@easyethomas6224 AGREED, BUT THE CARGO SHIPS DO THE WORSE DAMAGE THIS IS A START TO DEVISTATE THE EPA AND THE ATTEMPT TO CLOSE DOWN MOTORSPORTS. THE MOTORSPORTS KEEP PEOPLE OFF OF DRUG.

@@Frank289100 don't worry most ppl won't give a fuck if the EPA starts doing that shit it would mean cops can't use performance chips in their cars anymore besides ik people will keep some mod parts hidden away so that too and the last resort is to just move out of the country to Mexico or Canada or overseas

This is a response I got from my Congressmen:
Thank you for contacting me about the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports (RPM) Act. I appreciate your interest in this issue and your views are important to me.
The RPM Act, introduced by Congressman Patrick McHenry [R-NC], would clarify that modifications of a motor vehicles's air emission controls if it is being converted for use as a racecar at a track are exempted from certain Clean Air Act regulations. As you may be aware, in 2016 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule regulating the greenhouse gas emmissions by medium- and havy-duty vehicles. The proposed rule stated that "Certified motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines and their emission control devices must remain in their certified configuration even if they are used soley for competition or if they become nonroad vehicles or engines; anyone modifying a certified motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine for any reason is subject to tampering and defeat device prohibitions." However, the EPA opted to eliminate this provision from the final rule stating:
"EPA supports motorsports and its contributions to the American economy and communities all across the country. EPA's focus is not (nor has it ever been) on vehicles built or used exclusively for racing, but on companies that violate the rules by marking and selling products that disable pollution controls on motor vehicles used on public roads. These unlawful defeat devices lead to harmful pollution and adverse health effects. The proposed language was not intended to represent a change in the law or in EPA's policies or practices towards dedicated competition vehicles. Since our attempt to clarify led to confusion, EPA has decided to eliminate the proposed language from the final rule"
The RPM Act has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review. Should it be presented to the full House of Representatives for a vote, I will keep your support in mind. Once again, thank you for expressing your concern on this very important issue. I enjoyed hearing from you. For official statements and more information on my views on other issues, please feel free to visit my website at connolly.house.gov and sign up for my email newsletters. You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter for real-time updates on my work in Congress and the 11th District. If I may ever be of service, please do not hesitate to contact me.
My way of life depends on the RPM act. As someone who works in the racing industry, I cannot allow the act to be denied. I would lose my job, my hobby and racing as a whole. It can’t happen.
I’ve been thinking about people like you since I first heard of this. The EPA has no idea how large scale this thing truly is and how many peoples livelyhoods they’re threatening with this

They care nothing about jobs, as long as it's for the sake of the climate. There was an article I read that was saying periodic lockdowns like we've seen with covid could rapidly lower our CO2 production. America is waking up, I've got hope that these idiots will be stopped at some point.
@@jonathonhebert7042
The thing is, if it were about the climate, the EPA would be focusing on industries / things that are much bigger and more harmful to the environment.
They're choosing to focus on racing in particular, because they're influenced by rich people who have some sort of investment in those bigger, more harmful industries, but don't really care about the car modification industry.
It’s the same way for the 2A community and what the ATF has been doing.

Damn communism. Why not stop flying 35 jumbo jets to transport sleepy Joe around the world when be could just use a phone or FaceTime the other people.

I went to the article where they were making us look bad and they disabled comments 🤡😂
I really think the big automakers have their fingers in on this. They want you to go in debt for what they have to offer. They don't want you too build your own car.

We should dismantle the EPA for good
@@TipOfTheSpear907 The EPA doesn’t even know what they are talking about which is the funny part of it
@@TipOfTheSpear907 I disagree with that entire dismantlement, this thing has stopped a world of hurt from happening and we don't internalize it because our rivers don't flow orange anymore (yeah, they used to do that from coal mines). But I also think that the RPM act should still exist. It's not a binary choice between the EPA and motorsport.
@@LazerLord10 I think it needs to be dismantle and replace I should of clarified it’s like the NRA they don’t really do anything anymore I still support them I still give them money even though I’m a FPC and a USCCA guy but the EPA needs a rebuild because that’s bs we need people that actually encourage the car community because a lot of our cars actually run way cleaner then most streets cars a lot of them should look into how well some of our cars run and push for more vehicles to run on similar fuel

@Linkavich Chamofskee wasn’t always like that we’re all to blame for it we let them become big government
just like europe, we arent truly free
@Juice Loosener Fascist means politically motivated violence. This has nothing to do with violence. It's to do with dismissing the rights of private property by totalitarian measures. The reasons being, to force people to buy electric cars. Then it will be to force people to buy self driving only electric cars. Then it will be to stop allowing people to own their own homes.
Seriously great explanation! I feel the same way
Didn’t expect to see you here love your videos 👍
His explanation is actually way off.
The threat is not the RPM Act, nor is it a new bill proposed by the EPA. The threat is an ongoing lawsuit that the EPA has brought against an aftermarket parts manufacturer and the RPM Act seeks to prevent the EPA from doing so. The RPM Act would change language in an EXISTING act that has been law for a long time but has not been enforced by the EPA. The EPA has, for a long time, said "don't worry about that bit - we won't enforce it" but kept it in their back pocket in case some segment of the aftermarket industry started taking things too far. Rolling coal is just that; the EPA has been snowed under by complaints about coal rollers and so they have invoked this previously dormant language to go after a diesel tuner. It may be isolated, but it also may open the floodgates that would destroy the whole industry.
SEMA, similarly, has had the RPM Act on the table for a long time out of concern about the aforementioned wording and has taken this opportunity to push it harder than ever before, which might prevent this time of lawsuit from pervading every facet of the automotive aftermarket industry.
I know
Also hi Tom remember me

This honestly sounds like a right to repair type attack being done by the auto industry. By attacking aftermarket parts, it'll probably make it so that the manufacturer is the only entity allowed to control maintenance and repairs. In that case, third party repairs will get less accessible and general maintenance will be more expensive. Ironically, that would make it so that people have to replace their cars more frequently, which would be much worse environmentally.
Tl;dr This might be an attack on general consumers while disguised as an attack on enthusiasts
Exactly. Car ownership is going to be strictly a rich mans game in the very near future.
Everything we enjoy is soon going to be black market.
@@Imalrightnot I wish you were wrong. But you're not.
It is going that way, especially with some states trying to phase out gasoline cars.
Im a farmer and big companies like john deere already do this. They make it basically impossible to repair machinery on your own. They make you have to hire a certified john deere mechanic to punch in a code to make your tractor start again. Which keep in mind it costs a great deal of money to hire one of these mechanic. Over 100 dollars an hour in some cases plus the fee to even come to your machine.
Signed and submitted, Cant believe we even have to deal with this... thanks for making the video spreading awareness.
I signed it, regardless of whether the RPM act goes through or not, I'm still gonna put mods on any car I own. After all, it's mine, the powers that be don't get to decide what I do with my property
They won't talk about their private jets tho. Or the boats.
My guess is the EPA love their private jet travel.
@@ajstevens1652 also their limos
Sign a Petition. I did .
just like lewis sham-ilton
Keep in mind that these are the same people who would forget to change their oil in their 2013 equinox. Update : they just banned exhaust systems and performance mods. Like bro tell your kid to stop hitting his vape, our modified mustangs still produce less emissions than that.
And then blame gm when the timing chain wears out
Just when I started getting into cars just great 😑
Thank you so much for making this video. It is a subject that a lot of other big car channels have not even tried to address yet. It is imperative we get as many people to contact their elected officials as we can. We must protect the rights to life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness. It's in the damn constitution people.
Sooooo why haven't they targeted airlines and shipping?
Or the cruise ship industry which pollute a lot. They register their business in the most lawless countries to dodge taxes and pollute as much as they please and yet our idiot gov has nothing to say about them.
Not to mention private jets, yachts, etc.
"Rules for thee but not for me"
Because those industries pay a tax to be able to dump excess fuel befor planes land and for cruise ships.
@@92foxford that’s factually untrue. As someone who works in aviation I can go on about this for days but I’ll keep it as simple as I can because aviation is very complex.
Airlines are financially incentivized to make their aircraft as fuel efficient as possible. A plane that uses less fuel is cheaper to operate, and causes you to have to put less fuel in it, then you can swap that weight (6 pounds per gallon) for paying passengers and cargo. Remember fuel costs money and doesn’t buy a ticket.
As far as “dumping fuel” that’s is only done in emergency situations and is only allowed in certain areas. This happens because many large aircraft are capable of taking off at a higher total weight than they’re capable of landing at. Example: you take off from an airport for a flight and someone on board has a medical emergency. Bow you have to land ASAP but it’s not safe to do so until you’ve lost say 10,000 lbs of fuel. You do quick maths and determined you’ve gotta dump some out, so you do and get this person on the ground to medical personnel as quickly as possible. Dumping fuel is not a normal thing to do and you need a damn good reason to do it. Moreover it’s very expensive to waste fuel like that.
I want the EPA to tell me that an exhaust AFTER the Cat emits more emissions
Agreed. The EPA is in the wrong here.
They view it as "noise pollution"

Thanks man for using ur platform to bringing attention to the rpm act. I personally believe that there should be no regulation on cars already built . Car people are not the major issues as far as the environment if anything a guy keeping a older car on the road is keeping the emissions out of the air that otherwise would have been there had they bought new cars.
As a pro-climate person, I'll write out my own thoughts as I watch:
Motorsports are such a niche part of the car market that their environmental impact is minimal. Although I'd like to see the numbers around the impact of modified cars compared to if they were never modified (I bet it's minimal). Yeah, I don't like it when someone removes their cat for no good reason, but that one person doesn't have a large effect; *the out-of-the-factory emissions are where regulations matter.*
My overall thoughts are, if the EPA is indeed spending this much effort against modified cars (which I doubt they're actually doing), they're just wasting their time. I don't know if I can have this level of trust in a govt agency, but I would imagine that when they look at the numbers of how much pollution would be saved by not having the RPM act, they would realize "oh yeah, this is stupid, we should focus on something else". I always try to give these things the benefit of the doubt. But hey, I bet someone here is gonna call me a commie or something for having an ounce of trust in the government, because youtube comments are always the best.
nah bro you good
it really is such a minimal and neglectable portion of our pollution. You're right about them realizing that it isn't that much of a difference, but they won't give up out of ego and sense that they're "doing the right thing".
EPA has definitely already gone to work. One of the biggest names in European car tuning, APR, had to stop selling downpipes and their 'stage 2' tunes. They've also cracked down on some diesel companies that make DPF delete kits and such, and even some mom and pop tuning shops that simply resell those products. They seem to mostly target tuner devices, exhausts (especially catless downpipes) and diesel DPF delete kits.
@@TarzanGTI Those all sound like reasonable devices to limit the use of, but I guess there is always the case of "give them an inch and they'll take a mile", so even this should be watched closely.
But I think this is already (usually) solved by emissions inspections, at least for encouraging a high-flow cat instead of a straight pipe.
You don't have to wonder about the Environmental impact of customized cars. There have already been numerous studies on this proving that the impact is negligible. SEMA provides links to those studies on it's website. Not that most people would be bothered to read them. I have.

I endorse this message
Wouldn’t taking away modifying cars be against the first amendment and the freedom of expression in that amendment
America, land of the "free" and home of the "brave"
They don't care. They know better than we do...🙄
So there’s basically breaking a amendment for no reason
I think that falls closer to Right to Repair. Or in this case "Right to Modify".
Look at the state of the second ammendment. These politicians have been using the Constitution as toilet paper for decades.
David you framed the argument perfectly when you pointed out that if it was about lesser pollution then the problem is investing in public transit versus crushing a specific industry and not solving the problem
I made a video on this subject, covering how this will affect the regular person who uses their vehicle for work, school, and small business. I linked your video in my description because I thought you covered some great points. Thanks for your time and input on this subject.

Most aftermarket tunes actually increase gas mileage for turbo cars until you’re wot. My stage 2 gti went from an average of 26 mpg to over 30. So assuming you still have a catalytic converter (not sure how much a high flow cat increases pollution over a stock one) you’re technically helping the environment? This is just my assumption as I haven’t done any sort of emissions testing.
Well emissions can't get worse from a tune unless the entire tune is running your car MUCH richer. MPG increase denotes efficiency increase with more power as a side effect, so I'd say you're definitely doing a better job than the EPA. Just me two cents.
@@THESLlCK the EPA doesn’t understand thermodynamics. They want to blame the small person and not the corporations
@@DonnySRT The people at the top of the EPA fully understand. They are the governmental hand of corporations that want their vehicles subsidized to the point that taxpayers cover their R&D in entirety
Cars now even catless are cleaner than most early 2000s cars that are 100% emissions legal this is just some BS law to infringe on rights
I've seen a few of these videos about the EPA going after the car culture in the US. My two cents is this:
There are car purists, enthusiasts, and racers (and yes, wanna be "racers" that give the car scene a bad name). All are nuanced and different people under the broad umbrella of car culture. To which there is a difference between the build (up), modification, and upgrade of a car which is geared (no pun intended) toward a purpose. Some are "show and no go". Others are competitive in a good way, while some have yet to realize it's never about the car as much as it is about the driver.
I know when I upgraded (swapped) the engine and transmission of my Civic with newer components (because the original engine and transmission gave out), I made it a point that the set up met California emissions standards (as I am in Georgia), and was to OEM specs or improved for longevity, function and performance with a specific aftermarket brand (that fine-tunes OEM parts). Mind you, the newer setup never spewed spoke like these diesel trucks do at a moment's notice (and which really should be the focus of the EPA)-and not before I had to sit my car up because it was being targeted by haters.
And that brings me to the motivation of the EPA (IMO), which given the current political climate, this is probably coming from elitist constituents who want to monopolize the car scene with their "stock" six-figure plus super cars, because they don't like to be shown up by some compact or small car that has been modified in some way. You know, the kind of modification that leaves them with enough money to maybe buy a second vehicle or-IDK-a house. Then too, for the power some of these modifications give a small car, it because insult to injury to someone who spent a lot of money on four wheels, a seat or two, and a motor-which is the basics of any car.
On top of this, these elitists being into cars, they will go to great lengths to cheat-I mean, compete. 🙂
That brings me to the hate my car has been subjected to with being an all motor, stock upgrade. Its power-to-weight ratio had also increased (which has nothing to do with emissions and especially as it passed emissions consistently year after year). However, the perception of my love for "physics in motion" as being someone who likes to race was justification for violating my car. (I think it really had something to do with that fourth generation Mercedes SLS 500 I dusted at a light when the driver rolled up like he was the 💩. You know that look certain drivers give you, having judged what you drive by what they drive. 🙂)
Anyway, I think the money has to be followed with this cause as to gain a better sense on how to defeat the EPA's efforts-this time around. I don't trust their intention of labeling the car culture as "bad" when only a certain segment choose to bypass emissions. There is more to this than diesel pollution, obviously.
We need someone like you to sit down with senators and congress men and teach them what we actually do!
Thank you for talking about this and spreading awareness, I've been sharing the SEMA Petition like crazy these past few days. EPA can't go after big industries like the oil companies so they try and pray on us car people who aren't causing any actual harm. It's all ridiculous. And I'm glad one of my favorite youtubers is speaking out about it.
I’ve read the same article and honestly I’ve read the RPM act and majority of it isn’t really “legislating” new idea but more so correcting what was already established in the clean air act. It’s not about the guys who cut the catalytic concerts off their cars but more so about those guys who want to race by trailering their cars to the tracks and doing everything 100% legally. Hell if you buy a performance exhaust it says on the exhaust “for competition use only” if it’s not legal. So the UCS completely either misunderstood it or intentionally misrepresented the entire text
Is this why I can not find a repair manual for my car? All of the auto parts stores have pulled all the manuals off the shelves, and Barnes and Noble who had a large section of transportations books and manuals no longer have that section anymore.
My local tuner shop just got shut down from the EPA....hopefully they re open and start tuning again.

Word instead of focusing on improving renewable energy they stay pointing the finger at car scene like "it's your fault". Mean while shipping boats exist with almost no regulations. They pollute more than all cars on the road and no one is saying anything about that.
Wow! This is truly sad. I highly agree, the tuning fine tunes the vehicles performance. It don't creates epa issues. What about the air planes are they going after them too??
Thanks for sharing this info!
Go after cruise ships. Go after big polluters that can afford to add the controls -- the enthusiast industry definitely cuts some pollution corners but sometimes that's how you find a new innovation.

Also I read the article in it’s entirety and I’m just not sure where they got half of these statistics. I cross check the 1 in 10 diesels have been tampered with statistic and each article seemed to have a different number of trucks and number of tons of pollution. It’s also frustrating to see them say that the rpm act is only there to protect sema vendors and not a teenager with a Miata because that is 100 percent what it is there for.
PS. I went to school with Bob Hurley on your shirt young man. We both along with others had 510's in the early 80's
I live in Thailand and we have a big car culture. Parts are cheap but the cars themselves are expensive. An early 2000s Honda S2000 is like 60k US. We hate the guys rolling coal here too. Unless its on a riverboat. Then everyone loves it.
I live in Cali. The other night my friend and I drove to In n Out at 12am ( because it's the only food open) multiple cop cars continously circled the parking lot for over an hour while we were eating our burgers in the cold. Then continued to circle for another 30 minutes while we sat in my car and talked. (Apparently all these things are criminal acts now). We knew they were just waiting to pull us over, so we just kept waiting. Eventually a basically stock civic Si pulled in and parked (only had the world's quietest after market exhuast, heck could have even been stock). As he left we knew we was toast. Sure enough the CHP charger gets behind him at the light. It turns green, the civic LITERALLY pulls away calmly like EVERY OTHER DIVER. And Bam! They pulled him over... It was so ridiculous that it made me sick. He did NOTHING illegal except own Honda... so the moral of the story here is this. While people were busy getting shot, rapped, selling and using drugs, and holding up liquor stores, on a regular Saturday night two dudes in near stock (sports) cars eating dinner are the most dangerous thing in California and it requires the whole police force to handle them... this crap is gone too far. Go to a side show and throw everyone there in prison, but let us eat our food!
The law in New York is that your exhaust can't be over 95 decibles, and 95 decebles is actually as loud as a mugen twinloop exhaust, but cops will still pull you over and give you a ticket for exhausts that make the slightest noise, and they don't even have a decible reader. I just feel like if your gonna be into cars, just have a daily driver, and keep your built car for the weekends only, and just take that chance of getting pulled over. It's what we love, and it will never stop so we gotta just drive our daily during the week, and when the weekend hits, we go out with the toy. It's better taking that chance only on Saturday night instead of everyday. Also living in the country with barely any cops helps too.
@@christiandevos9280 agreed. My car is a weekend toy lol. I'm lucky if I drive it once a week. Rest of the time in the work truck.
POV: self driving and 0 emission cars are the only vehicles legally allowed on roadways. Emissions control has forced any sort of automobile culture to be long extinct.
Some old geezer, way past his time, spends his time staring at his RB swapped 240sx. He bought land far out, so that he can continue to work on the car and have the ability to idle/rev it on his land without fear of getting it confiscated. Hes limited on what he can do, as manufacturers for any sort of gasoline cars and parts has long been deemed illegal.
His attempts to keep the car under his possesion seemed to have finally failed. He finds a notice posted to the gate where the main road meets his land. The notice reads: We suspect an illegal motor vehicle is being stored on this property. Our records indicate that a 1992 Nissan 240sx VIN: JXTJ83KD83J that was under your ownership in 2031 was never crushed and destroyed per law. You have 24 hours to provide proper paperwork proving it was destroyed, otherwise your property will be searched and all illegal items in your posession will be seized.
The old man stays up that night. He recalls all the great memories his passions for cars has brought him. The friends, late night meets, and cruising.
The next morning his son wakes up and does not find his father in his usual spot on the porch drinking his coffee. He assumed he disapeared to the shed that his dad says hes not allowed to enter. As the son is eating his breakfeast a roar of a thousand bears echoes throughout the land. Birds scatter, the dogs bark, and the baby in the other room cries. The son runs outside jaw dropped as he sees his father in the driver seat operating the old nissan. The old man nods to the son.
He begins his journey down the driveway. Scraping the frame on the road. The straight piped exhaust csuses the engine to be heard miles away. He makes it to the main road, and stops in the middle almost like he is thinking twice about what he is about to do. The exhaust note is chopping and the massive turbo is audible. The son csn hear it in the distance.
He has decided. The old man pushes in the clutch. Moves the shifter into first gear, and with all the confidence in the world revs to 9 thousand rpm as he drops the clutch. The sound of Godzilla roars across the country side, tires squeal, flames explode out of the tailpipe, and tire marks are left at the path the old man has decided to take.
As he gets closer and closer to the city more and more autonomous cars are found on the roadways that he has to maneuver. As he makes his way to the interstate police units, electic helicopters, and broadcasts are all following this crazy old man. Young eyes are glued to the screen, curious about the old vehicle and why the man would do what he is doing.
The man stops in the middle of the interstate. The self driving cars behind him all stop to avoid collision. The road begins to clear up ahead of him. Police begin exiting their vehicles, and running to try and stop the man.
As he puts it in first gear, he knows this will be his very last time. He looks in the rear view, police are there demanding he exit the vehicle. Theres no going back now. He pegs 2step. The crowd behind jumps from the flames and bangs. Off he goes. One last joy ride.
Damn. This actually made me sad wtf
Well that hit the soul harder than I thought.

The only thing EPA should do if they truly wanted to take care of the envirement and not destroy a whole branch of the economy and millions of people's passions, businesses and communities is... Trying to fine people who delete their catalytic converters and DPF filters. Because these are the main problems when it comes to pollution. People, who often aren't even car enthusiasts, deleting the exhaust cleaning components to save money...
And your argument about public transport is also VERY valid
Oh man I can see exactly where this is going. Now when you open up a summit catalog there will be a listing for a lawn leaf blower that uses electric motor attached to a big Whipple supercharger with wheels bolted to it. You know like when you go to the gas station and up by the checkout they have the little glass tubes with flowers in it well obviously the vase isn't for decoration people take the flowers out and use it as a crack pipe. Now we'll have to buy Vortec centrifugal sidewalk blowers that people will disassemble to harvest the blower the moment it comes in the mail.
