Cubic Nonsense

[Robert Harris]

So one fine day as the pee-ants are standing around congratulating and
reassuring themselves that the elephant can't hurt them in a s___ stomping
contest, the elephant (GM) decides its going to end.

Hello - this is GM air quality PAC.  We are updating our campaign
contributions Mr ( fill in the blank politician ) and we seem to have
neglected helping to finance your fine work on the behalf of "concerned"
americans.  How many zeros would you like in this check?

Shortly afterwards the EPA issues new ruling's that vehicles with modified
ECU's must be re-certified with the duplicate of the manufacturers original
test certification at the modifiers/owners expense in a yet to be determined
government approved facility.  Then that certification is good only for the
specific make and model and year of the vehicle.  Further, since the emissions
system has been modified, the modifier takes full responsibility for the
remainder of the 100,000 mile emissions warranty.   If an end user vehicle
"fails" any smog test, it will be prima facia declared to be the modified
whatever"s fault which shall be restored to original manufacturers part prior
to retest.   Yada Yada Yada ISO 9001 - comply with federal regulation xxx
submit testing plan 180 days prior to testing for EPA review and approval
prior to testing - full disclosure of modifications - provide facilities for
on site EPA monitoring contractor

Ad absurdium.   Anyone ever dealing with the government knows that's just the
beginning.

Vehicles with modified emissions systems not certified as above or failing air
quality tests will be confiscated without recourse.  

And before you scream rights and other BS - you NEED to read the latest rules
on vehicle and property confiscation as regards to illegal aliens.
Essentially they boil down to this.  Give an illegal a ride with any "should
of known" or have one on your property and the government can seize it - even
if its a day laborer cutting your lawn.  And you think you can beat the
elephant when he choses to stomp?   Ker Plop - you're drowning in it, Thump
squish.  Your done.   And there ain't an aftermarket company whose gross
income match's GM, Ford or others booze and bimbos for Gummint Slush Fund.
Money, large quantities of untraceable dead presidents, in the "right" hands
gets anything GM wants.

So now that we are divided into two camps, brave pee-ants and the elephant
wary, what's to do.  EFI-555, EFI-332, Programming 101 - learn and share as
much as possible.  The elephant is now indifferent - enjoy its ignorance.
Back to EFI.
