Sure, I agree. They also went after heavy diesel RVs, which are an even smaller percentage. I need to take ours in for a smoke test before the 18th. I have one scheduled, and found someone to do it for half as much as the local Cummins, but it's still $125. The engine has no emissions equipment whatsoever but California wants to make sure my rings are good, I guess... every fucking year. Even though this is a smog exempt county for all the non-heavy vehicles. This is the first time I've ever been big mad at CARB, I think equipment restrictions requiring an E.O. number are stupid AF and only tailpipe testing should matter, do it during an actual drive if it needs to be realistic. But that stuff is minor compared to this, which is an attempt to steal people's homes.

Then they're not good at stating the case.

All that electronic shit is not the problem anyway. The problem is that they're not allowed to make repairs to it or install upgraded parts even if they know how. Getting rid of the electronics is one way to solve the problem, but it's the dumbest one.

That depends on whether it's a MW or P pump or not. Those particular pumps are as reliable as the day is long.

Wasn't it you that pointed out these aren't new engines?

I don't "lighten up" when small minded people are talking about decreasing my quality of life for their selfish benefit. I look down on them, as is appropriate. You're a small little man, and you're also just not funny.

You have a small brain.

And you appear to have little to NO sense of humor.

Lighten up Francis....

You have a small brain.

"We really need a new mod category for this guy"

A coward says what?

Ah yes, I can see you think you're very intelligent, just like the peasant meme

Yeah that's why legislation was crafted to stop Google from doing this, so they will fail at it and do something else

your right to have unnecessary emissions ends where my lungs begin.

Earth is a BIG planet.....I PROMISE I won't drive anywhere near you and your lungs....

;)

It was very common, maybe it made sense originally (I don't think so but anyway) but it hasn't for a long time...

In China nothing is brutal since over 30 years.

Unlike USA it is a fine working striving democracy -

LOL...PLEASE tell me you weren't able to actually type that without at least a smile on your face....

If you were actually serious...I have to tell you you're a bit too late for 1984, doublespeak and rewriting history daily

Oh, so the premise is false then? Because that's not even close to being a non-computerized engine. It just isn't subject to Deere DRM. That's an important improvement, but not "old, low tech" let alone "no tech".

Yeah, sorry, I meant for old ones too. They're just past the incentives phase now where they were paying for older machines to be upgraded to newer systems through the FARMER program. Sooner or later they'll just make it mandatory.

It is a massive market.

It took too long to get to the good part, by which time it had lost people.

If they had compressed seasons 1 and 2 into one season and lost the most worthless episodes, they might have gone on.

When the show is called Stargate, you expect Stargatey stuff. They set the expectation, then failed to meet it.

Actually, *this* is capitalism. Deere tried to assert control over their machines in a way farmers didn't like. So somebody else is providing machines that don't include that control, and people who like that feature are buying his instead. Capitalism in its purest form.
