Default I'm making a prediction

For those of you that are old enough to remember the 70's when the Muscle Cars went by the Wayside because of the fuel costs and EPA standards causing a cutback on the production of vehicle with a lot of horsepower.

With the new legislation to have all vehicles to average 35 MPG by 2020, those of you with the Harley trucks, Lightning trucks along with all of the other trucks with performance packages, you had better enjoy it while you can.

Your performance trucks may become a collector vehicle like the muscle cars of the 70's.

I guess if it don't work, they can add it to all of the other garbage that don't work either.

you need a word to substitute for "gay" every once and a while.

try one of these:

odd
stupid
dumb
silly
foolish
odd
idiotic
bad
ugly

I seriously doubt a bill like that will ever come to reality. It'll just be something that just keeps getting pushed back. I know I'll probably still have my truck in 2020.

That bill would not mean you have to get rid of your truck. It only means that all cars and light trucks that are manufactured new as of 2020 will have to meet those requirements.
