last time i was there i waited like 10 mins before the slumdog came to pump my gas. the second i stepped out of the car she came running over yelling at me threatening to call the police.

 

shoulda been like... "calling the police on urself for smoking at the gas station? go ahead!"

 

And I voted for this fool, Ted Kulongoski. Grr... Lets hope this doesn't pass

 

Glad to see evereyone seems to be aware of this . I posted a link earlier today. I did do a search first, but didn't come up with anything so I put up the link which I see has been removed. You folks in Oregon need to band together and take care of business
On a Paul Harvey radio broadcast years ago, I remember hearing about some tax increase that was voted down by the people in some town in Oregon. A big fat "NO" and that was the end of the story. Here in PA we never get to vote on anything except what dumbass we put into office. Everything else is done without any input from the citizens.

 

And I thought that Gov. Clodhopper was bad

 

wow thisreally sucks. its a nice state but damn the laws are getting bad. soon were gonna be like cali and have to perform smog test everytime u get pulled over

 

hmm not allowing to mod= less stuff being purchased, less product being taxed, less people needed for the stores and jobs = even worse economy..... states keep making really stupid laws

 

What do you expect? Oregon is a socialist bunghole. NO offense to you guys, but that state is an effin' breading ground for this crap.

 

the thing I don't get is how do you buy tires for aftermarket rims? Obviously OEMs arent gonna fit. And how can you just say no to slicks...

This law is definitely a joke and has no chance of passing.

 

This will never pass. Not with advocacy groups like SEMA, and lobbyists from the automotive world. It'll never happen. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

 

IIRC they said the same thing about strict mandatory emission testing, too...

 

so if u vote me for governor, i'll fix this.. if it ever passes =P

 

This is ridiculous. Kulon-douche-ski needs to focus on more urgent matters such as our record high employment rate, the education system, and the meth epidemic. By passing this law he is targeting small businesses and specialty shops that offer these parts & services. Therefore, adding to the unemployment rate. This isn't limited to just the import or off road scenes but could also affect companies such as Les Schwab.

 

very true...thats why orgs. like that are created, to laws like this for us.

and if you do away with vehicle afrer market parts, you hurt the economy sice a large amount is spent on people vehilces!!!

 

While I see your point, I think the emissions testing has more to do with the environment directly.

 

The only problem is that enviromental effects is what this new bill is being hung on, too - I.E. don't allow soft tires with high rolling resistance (summer performance tires) because they wear fast and waste fuel. Same with wider tires using more fuel and polluting more, etc. The tie-in he's purposely making is to the environment. (Or in other words, he knows which buttons to push...)

 

Although algore is hiding in a snow-drift now... ;)

 

heres his winter beater in Tahoe

 

Ha.
Well Oregon has the greatest set of politicians known to man.
we believe in employing the idiots and liars someone has too.

 

Well, CALI seems to have taken the overflow...sadly.
