Who had the bright idea to put together this e-mail! We sure are learning a lot about biofuel now aren't we. Besides that, haven't all of us riden in a slow non "assault vehicle" that is driven by someone who you wondered how they ever passed the tests for there license! When was the last time you say a Lamborgini or a Ferarri cause a wreck. Now I can't argue that an intoxicated or incapable driver with a powerfull car or truck can be an extreme hazard, but I think a drunk on a moped could cause quite a pile up given the chance. Now if you choose to argue the point of aftermarket parts, I guess you are one to believe one tire can work the best in all conditions and that a single restrictive exhaust is a good thing. Oh well, I guess I just think that your time could have been used to put something usefull here instead of waisting our e-mail space with ideas that don't make any sense. If you lobby for any new kind of law, why don't you come up with a driving school requirement. Maybe we are doing a poor job of teaching people how to drive. Last idea, If you don't expect your Expedition to drive like a Miata you will have less chances of rolling over, since suv's seem to be the most popular vehicles off the road. Question for someone making fuel alcohol. What is the biggest expense- the materials or the enegy to cook it? Also, is there any process to have a continuing cycle without having to stop and sterilize everything? motie_d <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A MODEST PROPOSAL: BAN ASSAULT VEHICLES by J.Kish, Vieth Sports Supply, Mentor Ohio Pursuant to recent legislative events and heightened concern for public safety, the political climate is ripe for the following proposal.
As is well known, traffic accidents are the number one cause of death and injury in the United States. Trauma centers are choked with victims of reckless driving, overburdening health care facilities and the insurance industry. Past laws have been ineffective at curbing irresponsible and/or criminal behavior such as speeding and driving while under the influence of intoxicants. Therefore, what must be controlled is the free and easy access to dangerous and overpowered vehicles of foreign and domestic manufacture. Proposal: Ban assault vehicles An assault vehicle is a vehicle which by its appearance and capabilities inspires the driver to behave as if the nation's highways were competitive racetracks. The following are dangerous assault vehicles and should be banned from production and importation: Lamborgini Countach Ferarri Testarossa Toyota MR2 Chevrolet Corvette Mazda Miata Mercury Capri Pontiac Fiero BWM 735i Acura Integra Nissan 300ZX Chevrolet Camero Mazda RX7 Plymouth Laser Dodge Viper Dodge Stealth Ford Mustang Ford Probe Honda CRX Jaguar XJE Also to be banned are any look-alikes of the listed vehicles as well as any vehicles possessing one or more of the following characteristics: Capable of speeds over 70 mph Ground effects Dual exhausts Performance tires Limited to dual seats Aerodynamic devices that protrude conspicuously from the rear of the vehicle Vehicles possessing these features have no legitimate transportation purpose. Vehicles which are constructed with the capability of vastly exceeding the legal speed limit are produced for unlawful purposes and have no place in this society. Owners of these vehicles can have no purpose in mind for them other than to commit illegal acts that put the general public at risk. Legislators should be petitioned and media support should be sought for this "common sense" measure. If only one fatality is prevented, the benefits will far outstrip the cost and inconvenience. Owners of such vehicles purchased before the ban is enacted should be required to register their vehicle as an "assault vehicle" with their state DMV. Failure to do so within a 90-day grace period should result in fining, imprisonment, and permanent revocation of driving privileges. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN !!!! Yahoo!
