Yer funny!!!! Fads come and fads go. Hot rodding has been that way for 60 years, I doubt seriously it will change now....

it hasnt change its just a word ,you like your nice some guys dont. somebody decided to put a name to it and people hate it. if everybody took there energy of hate for each others stuff and put it towrds fightng against these epa a##hats the fight may get easyer. pretty soon it will be remember when there were hotrods. we might want to teach are children how to build hotrods are way but they might not get a chance . not because they dont have a floor board more because there isnt any cars left because there all crushed thanks to epa and others

Well, don't blame the agency, blame the people WE sent to Washington who make these ridiculous laws.... Get politically active and stay informed on proposed and existing laws that effect hot rodding, or watch the sport go away..... The VOTE is still the single most effective method of counteracting laws to limit and or ban hot rodding....

im very informed on this matter. the epa is a agency that runs itself you or me cant vote who works for them, Your from SD did ever see Daschles law on the book where he wanted to crush every thing ten years or older. the minute i read that i call Rep Al Waltman he was customer and Dem. he checked in to it and it lost .

Your right, forget it. All is lost. Absolutely nothing we can do.... SEMA is just wasting it's time....

The EPA did not exist until 1970... It didn't just come into being by osmosis. The people we sent to Washington created the agency.

By the way, that was Lady Bird Johnson who authored the crush em legislation and it was introduced in congress by the two senators from her home state, Texas. Tom Dascle wasn't involved.....

I had a dream, oh wait that did not work him either , oh well then lets try ,cant we all just get along?

You know what i think, all the guys in office now that hate hot rods are the guys that got beat up or there girls stollen in high school by all the hot rodders back in the day, they are paying you back. They are the guys who put the fake pipe on so it would look like they have duals.

Tom had a similar bill and i will find and post it i just got to remember were its at i used to have hanging on my bulletin board at my business. why must you put words in my mouth . did i say anything about it being lost or maybe your just right i will just let sema fight the fight emissions has changed again for the auto. industry. anther 17% . if this keeps happening the auto industry will have to find ways to agree with the EPA (you know the people that have nothing to do with the way it is just who we vote for ) 37 years is along time ago , the way they run it now is different.

your right im wrong . i will join green peace tomorrow , build a tree house tell everybody that sema is my only hope for tomorrows hotroder. Or i will keep writing letters to EPA or reps. in wash. i feel im on the same page as Dave but he doesnt like me so it will always be a fight

They can make all the laws they want,but who they gunna get for minimum wage to die trying to enforce them.....I am not just going to surrender anything..... car /property/ or freedom.....I will have the 12 guage and the 50 cal at the end of the driveway asking the age old question..................is it a good day fer ya to die ,becuase it is for me
Thats why our founding fathers said we have the right to bear arms,not to fight back the brittish from our colonies................

Letters to a bureaucracy like the EPA are meaningless. The only way to change anything is to change the people who are in Washington DC and support SEMA and other such organizations who are well organized and know who to talk with about negating the changes that have a negative impact on Hot Rodding. If you don't have the right people in office, no amount of letter writing will do a bit of good...... The only thing these clowns cleverly disguised as politicians care about is their overpaid jobs. The power of the vote is the only leverage we have to effect what decisions they make!!!!!

So, just exactly what would going out in a hail of bullets accomplish???? Willingness to die for a cause though admirable, is totally ineffective... As I have said and will keep on saying, the only thing that will accomplish change is the power of the vote!!!!!!

Calm down there gasser, i was just poking fun of the situation, i was not saying anybody was right or wrong, i stay out of politics, and i usually stay out of this hot rod/ rat rod war nobody involved is gonna change there opinion anyway so dont take it personaly when im being a smarta$$, just trying to ease up the tention.
