This is what they do. It's what they've always done. My first new car was a 1973 Mach 1 that ran like a dog because of the idiotic emissions controls which were put into place because we were inexorably heading for a new ice age.
The ice age never happened, but we never got an apology from the moron who made it up. All I know is that another moron, Al Gore, came on the scene demanding millions for his opinion about AGW.
PT Barnum pegged Americans right.
You should have had the 72 Mach 1 like I did; they hadn’t screwed it up with emission controls and it still ran on regular leaded gas. They had reduced the compression somewhat in the 351 Cleveland but it still had power.
As for the global warming crowd, well they do have a point. The world has been getting warmer, and if it keeps up, pretty soon people will be raising cattle in Greenland.
Just like they did during the Medieval Warm Period.
