    If you’re not carbrained, the EPA has gone after a number of companies that offered enhancements to diesel trucks. This person is probably lamenting not being able to blow clouds of black smoke at Priuses.

      I just saw an article about a couple in Washington state who own a mechanic shop that bypassed diesel emissions systems on 375 customer’s trucks. The increased emissions was the equivalent of adding 127,000 diesel trucks to the road and they made $500,000 in the process.

      Their punishment for violating the Clean Air Act? A $20,000 fine and a few months of house arrest.
