Greetings Group!
Thanks God I live in Montana where at least (so far) the politicians
have left us old car people alone and we don't have emission testing- 90% of
the vehicles used here for farm and ranch work would never pass! Many
ranchers remove the converters for fear of grass fires while using them in
the fields and pastures etc., those that don't use diesels. And yes our
sky's are still BIG SKY BLUE! Please remember though- tell all your
friends that drive brand X and blue ovals etc. that Montana really is the
pits and we don't have indoor plumbing and the hitchin' rail is still out
front for the horses.....Mine is but for the 300's horses so to speak!!
