Massachusetts Bill to Ban the Sale/Installation of Aftermarket Exhaust Systems

[Hollywoodnigel]

I was sent this today, is anything like this going on in any other states ?

"After being stalled in 2005, a bill (H.B. 2011) to ban the sale or installation of “an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the exhaust” was approved by the Massachusetts Joint Transportation Committee. As you might recall, the bill had been revised from previous versions to exclude limited-use “antique motor cars.” This amendment represents a clear attempt by the bill’s sponsor to divide the automobile hobby in an effort to gain clearer sailing for this restrictive and damaging piece of legislation. H.B. 2011 has been now referred to the House Steering, Policy and Scheduling Committee."

What do you expect from the State that has King S**t Kennedy as thier Senator. They should be worried about punks killing people on the streets than exhaust noise. I think Boston has the highest murder rate in the U.S. now. Congrats!! Perhaps the Massachusetts legislation can perduce a bill outlawing common sence. Oh wait they did pass that! My bad.

Sorry for the Mass. Bashing But that ban "sounds" stupid.

Maybe Wisconsin should pass a law paying for spelling classes?
