Technically the model already exists. Not sure if we still do but I recall incentives to purchase energy star appliances. And on the other hand we have the gas guzzler tax.

Honestly, with his deductive reasoning skills it's seriosuly sad to know he's a NJ cop. And apparently he thinks safety is a Right. Safety is an illusion.

I love how this guys thinks trained cops are like the litmus test for carrying a gun. When the fact is almost every police shooting turns into a spray and pray with little regard to where bullets end up. How about the cop in NYC that shot some random dude in a dark stairwell? How on earth could that happen since he's trained? And the jerkoff had the nerve to blame the gun... I guess that's what you people do.. you pass off the blame so your training isn't called into question.(I'm not referencing all LEO here, just those that think their shit don't stink)

I think we're all on the same page then.. I'm still trying to figure out why you think a citizen carrying a firearm is the same as a citizen trying to play cop... The fact is, your entire argument is based on an irrational fear of average Joe carrying a firearm. The fact is, if your opinion had any merit you would be using empirical evidence to support your position. How many average joes put the public in danger per year? How many cops put a bullet where it doesnt belong every year? We have federal cops selling guns to criminals, we have cops loosing firearms, we have trigger happy cops.... Fact is... People accept the errors for a common good... Maybe we should re-assess giving guns to cops if your goal truely is public safety. Cops in this country kill people at a remarkable rate compared to others... Maybe they should learn to do the job without the weapon or at a reduced rate... It might breed better cops that don't pull a gun when a suspect farts.

Well shit, thanks guys... Just starting buying crap to cerakote.

lol not sure if that's a joke or not but L3 is a thread away from being sued out of existence. We get our money back, and they save on legal fees and settlements... Don't complain because they are taking the high road this time.

I really don't see why they couldn't implement a hardwire technique. Physically removing the memory from the phone or something similar like jumping connections. No remote access means they would need the physical phone and have to take it apart. I agree with Apples sentiments on the issue, but I also think there should be a way to access information without providing a backdoor for anyone to take advantage of.

there are 2 program modules that I know of that can crack the Jeeps ECU, both the 3.8 and 3.6 and its needed if you add a SC and has preset tunes for you to load.

Do me a favor, take all your PBA cards and tear them up. Better yet, never distribute another one.... To what purpose do they serve? Don't worry, I wont hold my breath. It is funny, the second we talk about having a level field its like were Anti-cop....pretty pissy attitude, were not talking about extravagant investigative and arresting powers...lol

I like the black model, the light stain shows the seems at the top and bottom... i dunno just kinda bothered me..

We've already discussed that it is a small percentage... Look guys, I never said I was for this... All I'm saying is I'm not surprised... I have a few friends who's entire livelihood hinges on the "aftermarket" Did you ever wonder why it costs more $$ to register a bike in NJ then a standard car? That is a real brain teaser.

Of the percentage that modify their cars, a lot. It's like a sad game with the people I know as to who can delete their cats faster then the other because it gives them a negligible increase in HP. Not that I don't love the smell, I'm a pretty big gear head begin with. Take a look at OC Maryland during H20 and tell me how many of the vehicles are road legal... That town makes bank a couple weekends out of the year.

Really depends on the context. We have one of the largest carbon footprints per person. We also waste a lot.

Not a single carb approved supercharger comes out of my friends shop. They are off road use only ESS superchargers. They offer a tune that will pass inspection, but when you pay the money you do for that kit your not gonna leave meat on the bone with a crappy tune. Most dealer installed performance parts leave a lot of power left with a eco friendly tune. Who says, yes give me that 7k super charger, now program the tune that keeps me Street legal? Or give me the most power you can with out blowing up the engine.

I guess anytime we discuss the regulation of anything it has to be somehow comparable to the argument of firearm ownership... Well shit man, maybe I'll just ignore hunting regs and litter your local water supply with lead shot... I'm sure you would appreciate that.

minimal returns is still a difference. Let's not be so subjective here.

I get it, you don't think it will make a difference.

The argument may seem silly to you, except I've heard nothing but subjective opinions in here. I'm not exactly interested in your thoughts unless you have something g to support your position. I'm more concerned with the degradation of ecosystems due to increasing acidicy of the environment.... Which is a global and local problem to places that don't control emissions. But keep telling me how trees are supposed to do something about that.

Is CO2 your only concern?

That's funny so super charges and high flow exhaust pass emissions? Which tune? The one you use once every couple years to get ur car through inspection? Half my friends can't pass inspection and pay people off for stickers. But like I said, and I think a few have ignored. I already said it was an over reach, Adding something like a cat back or CAI does not effect emissions enough to care.

we already discussed the small number of people modding cars.

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/392376/EXCLUSIVE-SAS-snipers-to-get-world-s-best-rifle I guess some of them decided to keep it after taking it for a test drive.

Because it's not legal most of the time....

I live in the wrong part of the country for many different reasons... Maybe the difference is negligible, in this very specific instance in a short period of time. But the EPA doesn't just go after people who modify their vehicles, to them every little bit adds up over time and this is one little piece of the pie they are going after right now.. The other option, which some seem to be for, is why bother even regulating emissions... Most people who are against regulation of emissions cant even see past the CO2 argument. I don't believe in the ban of these things, moderation never hurt anyone... just like having a vehicle registered as a classic it can only be driven so much per year.

And as a human living here now it would be great to breath fresh clean air. Technically, most shops are already in illegal business practices when they let a vehicle drive out of their shops when fresh install off-road modifications.
