Where you ever in L.A. in the 70s Gene? When you had to stay indoors during the day in the valley and people died of COPD all the time. :ack:
The difference between then and now is amazing. The air quality is 100% better because of the GOVERNMENT stepping in. The auto industry didn't give a ratz ass about air pollution that they were causing. :yesnod:

Fire up that C3 or yours in a closed garage and see how long you last. :willy:

I could almost agree with some of that. The issue today is, the iron clad law of diminishing returns. At some point, you spend more money to get less benefit. We have already passed that point.

I am not a big gov type at all, but I have to agree with this. I grew up in SoCal and can remember coming over the pass into Riverside when you could not see the bottom. It looked like a sea of red/brown water that was trapped by any inversion. The air quality in SoCal is way better than it was back then.

The problem is knowing when enough is enough. I bought a 2012 F-250 Diesel in VA and folks were complaining that you had to add DEF for it to run. I'm now in CO where some folks think that dual stacks and a bunch of black smoke makes the truck cool. Making black smoke to prove a point is idiocy.

Yup...

I am going to have to disagree. If you go over to china you will know the issue with having good air quality. I prefer to have nice clean air and beautiful skies to gaze at in the evenings.

Once we destroy our own natural resources we are going to die. China will begin to find that out shortly if they don't start implementing some sort of environmental standards.

We are absolutely at a point of diminishing returns when it comes to light motor vehicle emissions. How much cleaner need we make vehicle exhaust when it's already cleaner than the intake air in some respects, and when there are so many other pieces of low hanging fruit?

I don't know. That's what people said about Toyota after their problem(s), Ford after the Explorer/Firestone and countless others.

There are a lot of yuppies here in Chicago to keep them in business. :)

VW will bounce back. What's their stock selling for today?

Back in the '80's, I guy I worked with made enough off of Union Carbide to put his youngest son through college....and they killed more Indians than Custer.

Exactly, China has totally passed us in pollution, we need to establish ourselves as #1.

But look at all the benefit we get from $92 Million spent on office furniture
