Indiana has no emissions standards.

Guess what I see all the fucking time?

Okay, wild guess: pornography?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I mean... that too, but that has nothing to do with vehicle emission standards.

Don't fuck a car's tailpipe. Or at least wait until it's cooled off.

Yeah but it skewed my wife’s emission standards she sets on me.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Then which emissions are we talking about 🫣

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

No we're talking about a different kind of emissions

barely matters. These assholes would just remove the filter after the test anyway. Texan here.

[–] D1G17AL@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not usually one to call for "nanny" laws or regulations but those types of situations are just the perfect excuse for having filters trapped in a captive device that can only be opened by licensed mechanics. Sure there would likely end up being a grey or black market of third party workaround devices. It happens in any situation with regulations. Its just ridiculous that the knuckleheads are able to make and keep enough money to spend on some of the more ridiculous clown monster trucks on public roads.

I'm not sure how you plan to do that in a way that can't be defeated by an angle grinder.

[–] D1G17AL@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Filter is integrated into cage such that removing the cage improperly destroys the filter. Make vehicles unable to operate without filter.

Cars with emissions?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ermagaherd*, why is fuel so expensive?! Stupid dems, I have to feed my 8 foot per gallon brodozer!

*spelling appropriately changed

Modern conservatism in a nutshell:

Everything was just fine yesterday. What did you guys do to screw it up for me?!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

That, combined with the need for simple answers to extremely complex problems..

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder how the one-time burst release of carbon from hitting one of these odious things with a fucking bazooka would compare to the prevented lifetime emissions

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

The vehicle will have to be disposed of at the end of its lifetime anyway.

What it will affect is the reduced carbon from a shorter use time, and kill the oxygen waster inside. Overall a net positive.

I can smell it through the picture
