This aint right is it?

Most people will be unaware of it and still purchase new cars. It may take some time to implement and for the masses to realize the change.

EPA has way too much power!
Anyone know about the lawsuit against the EPA for having too much power? I heard a little about it but have no info on it.

You are probably correct that people will still buy cars at first, but how long do you think it will take for people to not want to buy new cars when they realize big brother is shutting their car off for the engine light being on? That is what I was referring to, if OBD 3 actually will have those capabilities and the government actually uses it to disable vehicles, or report to local law enforcement, I would expect a huge backlash from citizens and aftermarket companies. I am sure that if they did this that they could not keep people from talking about it. It would be in the news, you would hear family and friends talking about it like "Hey did you know that my new 2016 Dodge can just be shut off if you don't get the check engine light looked at?" I mean this will get out and it WILL have a affect on new car sales.

I suspect that they will slowly start enforcing it over a course of years and years so that nobody raises any red flags. That seems to be the typical way goverment works nowadays. Start taking little freedoms away, and little by little we become a completely different society.

The EPA does have too much power, I vote to dispand them!!!!:cheers:
