Real scientific.

Another liberal state gone wild. I'm curious to see a detailed list of all aftermarket parts being referred to in the bill. I'm glad I don't live in Oregon.

Or Cali for that matter. There is not a chance in hell that would ever get passed here.

There are some other green states we can add to the list. The "Green Weenies" will try anything to push their liberal agenda.

SEMA is vehemently opposed to the bill and urges the following:

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale of Aftermarket Parts

At the request of Governor Theodore Kulongoski, the Oregon Speaker of the House has introduced legislation (H.B. 2186) to prohibit the sale and distribution of aftermarket motor vehicle parts if alternatives are available that “decrease greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles.” The bill is primarily focused on aftermarket tires and would authorize the Environmental Quality Commission to implement enforcement regulations, likely based on a rolling resistance calculation.

We Urge You to Contact Oregon Speaker of the House Dave Hunt and Members of the Environment and Water Committee (Contact Information Below) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 2186

* H.B. 2186 would regulate vehicle fuel economy, an authority reserved to the federal government.

* H.B. 2186 could ban tires that may have improved performance, handling or appearance features, based solely on a rolling resistance rating. In addition, this program could easily distract consumers from focusing on more important safety issues such as tire inflation and overloading of vehicles.

* H.B. 2186 would force consumers to purchase only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires because the program essentially exempts OEM-selected tires and unfairly implies that they are superior to aftermarket products.

* H.B. 2186 could prohibit aftermarket parts designed to either personalize or optimize specific vehicle performance attributes including handling, towing, suspension, fuel economy, etc.

* H.B. 2186 provides broad authority to government regulators and could limit a range of aftermarket parts currently available to consumers based on the subjective determination of government regulators.

DON’T DELAY! Please contact Oregon Speaker Dave Hunt and the House Environment and Water Committee immediately to urge his opposition to H.B. 2186.

You could not be more correct on that!

But watch for much more of that kind of nonsense as the messiah continues his reign in the Whitehouse. The nutsacks will get more and more daring with their crap!

He looks more like Stan Laurel every day. He just needs a bowler hat and some fat guy to smack him around.

The PELOSI Mobile?

Congressional Motors Announces The First Car for 2012, The Pelosi

It's in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You're a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It's that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors.

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with the same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-bio diesel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizzazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again -- with a vengeance.

We've subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you'll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that's a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.

Even with increased performance we didn't skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you'll have the security of knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.

But the changes don't stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by Congressional Motors Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes -- even in the choppy waters of a Cape Cod inlet.

Available in a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French Mustard. Inside, a luxurious all-velour interior designed by Barney Frank features thoughtful appointments like an in-dash condom dispenser. A special high capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you'll never miss a segment of NPR again.

Best of all, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt is made right here in the U.S.A. by fully card-checked unionized workers and Detroit's famous visionary jet-set managers. Even if you don't own one, you can enjoy the patriotic satisfaction that you're supporting the high wages, good benefits, and generous political donations that are once again making the American car industry the envy of the world.

But why not buy one anyway? With an MSRP starting at only $629,999.99, it's affordable too. Don't forget to ask about dealer incentives, rebates, tax credits, and wealth redistribution plans for customers from dozens of qualifying special interest groups. Plus easy-pay financing programs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

So take the bus to your local CM dealer today and find out why the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the only car endorsed by President Barack Obama. One test drive will convince you that you'd choose it over the import brands. Even if they were still legal.

Global warming is a natural occurance. If they want to make a real difference the hippies would capture the gasses released by cows, smoke some pot and think of some ingeniuse idea of how to power cars with it.

Oregon's laws are nuts. Self serve gas stations are illegal there. It is illegal to pump your own gas but they don't seem to have any full service stations.

You have to hand over your credit card to a minimum wage geek who pops it into the pump and dispenses the gasoline with the inflated price of his labor included but if you want the windshield cleaned, and the oil level or tire pressure checked you still have to get out of the car and do it yourself.

You're right, it might only be in Oregon now, but you bet Obama and his cohorts would love this legislation nationwide!


Notice in section 4 It says it's needed for the "immediate" preservation of peace, health, safety and that an emergency exists!

SECTION 4. This 2009 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and this 2009 Act takes effect on its passage.

Excuse me, but the only emergency that exists out here in Oregon regarding "greenhouse" gas emissions is the lies spewed about it by the liberal democrats.

Our peace, health and safety are being eroded by these liberal control freaks!

Also if you look at the unemployment fact sheet for Oregon, unemployment is going up, and always higher than the national average!
This will make it climb even higher, putting tire dealers and auto parts store out of business!

Some stations, especially Chevron, will clean your windsheild for you.

One time I got free gas because I said only 5 or 10 bucks, but he filled it!!!

Are you in Oregon?

[ExoticSpotting]

Is this really a global warming issue, or is it just a veiled attack on street racers?

It's common knowledge that many aftermarket parts like air intakes and lightweight body panels actually improve gas mileage.

But hey, they're politicians, they don't need 'common sense'.

I think we need to educate them.
It's really a way to just get more power.
The voters are the ones who need to be educated on who to vote for!
