[Vwdiesel] Quantum lives...

[raymond greeley]

Illinois, USA, changed the inspection rules. stopping testing on anything, at this point, 1994 and older. they stopped testing the largest group of cars that  fail and thus  allow them to continue poluting. It is beyond even  bad judgement. whom would benefit from such a change, It has been suggested that this was a way for the state to reduce testing costs. It seems that a new way of testing, computer module hook up, is being used and the a new co. got the contract and that this co. has little experience though was a big contributer to the current govenor.
