What exactly do you feel is being taken away by these Green Thugs other the general ease right now to break the law by installing some tune to defeat 02 sensors or run a smelly and highly polluting catless downpipe?

You're wrong, the little shops that cater to performance are dropping like flies. When the EPA couldn't get to the offshore diesel tuners, they picked a few shops and made examples out of them. They did the same thing in the Mustang world. The EPA position is that you can change wheels on your car and that's it. That position was NEVER in any legislation, it was invented by bureaucratic "interpretation".
