[great summary on what the hell OBD II is from Scott Mockry]

I would like the thank the Government for such wonderful measures to
protect us foolish citizens from our own pollution generated self-demise.
It takes great initiative to enact such legislation into our wheezing
automobiles.

That said. Are the EPA folks going to be retrofitting this ever so vigilant
equipment into those nice boats from the 70's and 80's that get worse miles
per gallon than the Abrahms tank. And what about all those cars I regularly
have to follow that run more like a 2 stroke engine with their gas to oil
mix ration. (as in leaky rings).
It's fine to have future vehicles run so very clean. But it the old
statistics of 20% of the old flotsam out there generating 90% of the
pollution.
Makes me wonder if all this money is just wasted on passing the
legislations and feeding the dealer lobbyists.

Ole boy. Nomex suit and booties on.

That's it. I'm buying used cars. All cars before the 1996 sticker date.
