The people who introduce this kind of legislation don't worry about
little details like business' closing and people losing their jobs - they
consider it the cost of cleaner air. A noble attitude - as long as you are

Well there may be noble sentiments at EPA in crafting such policy proposals,
but you can rest assured that the political support for those initiatives
rests at the highest levels with lobbying from the domestic auto industry

Same old, same old. If you want a new MB, it is going to cost you big time. If
you have deep pockets, it may be a
wonderful thing. Only time will tell.
My pockets are not that deep and I am quite happy with my antique MB. Not the
