Tampering with an on-road vehicle’s emission controls (your daily driver) has been illegal for as long as I can remember. The EPA is now saying that even if you have a dedicated race car, it has to have the same emissions controls that it came with. I’m not sure I see how this is the fault of “ricers and coal rollers.”

if a motor vehicle is covered by a certificate of conformity at any point, there is no exemption from the tampering and defeat-device prohibitions that would allow for converting the engine or vehicle for competition use. There is no prohibition against actual use of certified motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines…

Those will be fun to change.

Showing his ignorance now? How about that jump to conclusions first post of his, where he talks about light bulbs and killing deer with bare hands! LOL!

Ford has been talking about mobility and new approaches to transit more than any other American automaker (though GM is catching up with the Lyft investment and now Maven.) When you look at the concerns from Wall Street, some of these moves really start to make sense.

Well, it only works in stop and go traffic, so.......

I just can’t get past the interior, otherwise I love it.

Too bad it wasn’t AllState Insurance, the joke about slipping through their hands would’ve written itself.

When Crider got into a fender bender

Hello Captain, I made the following video to show how the CVT works in my 3.6R. It really isn’t bad at all. Maybe the smaller engines are worse, but I love mine.

Is it a win? Yes.

Fair point, but most Ridgeline owners will rarely have a load of widgets and the wise ones will take the spare out before loading the truck. Speaking only for myself, I would rarely be carrying a load of widgets far enough from home that I couldn’t go get my jack and take the wheel off to get fixed, never requiring…
