US Senate May take away our choices of SUVs, Pickups, and other light trucks!

Q: i have no problem with this bill and neither should anyone else with a functioning brain stem. lol which explains why its such a bad bill. lol starting off with insults. this usually shows you arguments to be very weak. 1 trucks suvs etc that weigh as much as 10000lbs as suggested by the bill in question will never be able to get the same sort of mpg as a car. expecting that simply making a law of the land will change the laws of physics is stupid. that is the whole point. are you really this stupid. if the auto-manufacturers want to make huge luxury vehicles then they either need to figure out a way to make them conform to requirements or pay the gas guzzler tax instead of just slapping a suv sticker on them. 2 there is no real reason to pass such a law since all private vehicles under 8000lbs gvwr are already under government standards for fuel efficiency. pickup trucks vans and suvs do not have the same requirements as passenger cars. if you think that they do then either prove it or just shut up for a change. pickups vans and suvs were given some leeway on mileage requirements to have enough power to do their jobs properly and safety issues because their primary purpose was in the utility field and not as passenger vehicles. the problem is that now the industry is building full blown luxury passenger vehicles and is getting around the passenger care mileage requirements by slapping asuv label on them. the whole purpose of the mileage requirements is to help reduce our dependency on foreign oil you know the real reason that we are now in iraq getting our boys killed. i just find it interesting that a republican would be the one who started it. i find no wonder in that a democrat/liberal would want such a redundant thus unnecessary and ultimately impossible to conform to law passed. the purpose of the law is to close a major loophole and nothing more. there is nothing redundant about it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

i see that you are once again ignorant self centered and of course incorrect. i see once again you didnt do a bit of research and instead are attempting to rely on your ability to insult someone distracting from your ignorance. oh really that sounds more like you predictable methods. that and twisting facts to fit into your distorted view of reality. the bill has merit and is being drafted to correct the bs loophole there is no bs loophole its a law of physics that larger vehicles will not get the same mpg as smaller ones. you really are dumber than dirt. no shit sherlock. that is why it is a loophole. the auto manufacturers could not build the huge luxury cars that people wanted and stay within the car fuel requirement so they built them anyway changed the body style and called them suvs since they have much lower mileage requirements and avoided the gas guzzler penalties and that is the loophole pinhead. that the auto-industry is using to create high profit the auto industry is building high profit vehicles to make a high profit not get around some liberal legality. correct they are getting around the legality to make a higher profit very good max. if you want the auto industry to stop selling big gas guzzlers to the public you will first have to convince the public to stop buying them. many americans are far to self centered and selfish to do that. others are to stupid to realize that oil is a finite resource and the faster we use it the faster we will run out. when gas jumps to $2.50 to $3.00 a gallon people may begin to wise up but then they will just insist on destroying the rest of our wilderness to fuel their selfish habits. luxury vehicles and get around both the safety and mileage requirements for passenger cars. 1 larger vehicles tend to be safer thus they are not getting around a safety law as much as catering to a market segment. once again you talk out of your ass. their mass requires much more energy to stop and that makes them more dangerous to smaller vehicles on the road and to each other when two of them get into an accident. and the more of them that are on the road the greater the chance that the other vehicle involved in the accident will be another suv. 2 all vehicles up to an including the half ton pickup truck are already regulated by the feds for mpg. thus no laws are being gotten around. here comes that twisting of facts thing again. while they may in fact be regulated they do not match the requirements for passenger vehicles and that is exactly what most of the current suvs are now. character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. easy to say but as you have proven and as budd has already pointed out incapable of doing it when people are looking never mind when they are not. lol says he who first insuilts then fails to figure out what he *thinks* he is arguing for. now that would be you. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
