WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Get ready to be raped if you live in Washington state. They are proposing and engine displacement tax as well as a tax on co2 emissions per mile. With just the displacement tax alone for my two cars each year it would be $225 for the 300SD and $400 for my 63 T-bird.

If you live in Washington State contact your state reps and urge them to kill this!!!!

why is this in FI ?

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

what next? the cfm of air you run through your motor :1

if they get enough liberals behind it you never know

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Less displacement more boost.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

you still get hit with the c02 tax.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Don't they do emissions at idle and then 3000rpm constant load? It's still very possible to pass emissions and have an 11sec turbo car.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

co2 emissions "per mile" meaning they're going to put a box in your car, and keep track of either you mileage or how much gas you buy

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

theres no way they are going to put a box in all the millions of cars in WA to keep track of gas mileage.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

they will try, they tried it in oregon

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

odd that they propose this and they dont even make EVERY car in the state take an emission test... ???

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Its hype something being from california I know well to much. We have counties in california too that dont require smog but they are almost at Oregon aka no man's land

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

some counties in WA require a emmissions test, but if you want to get around it all you need to do is use an address in a city that doesn't require it.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

or have someone you know work there. its how i get around it ! O0

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

That's VA too. East of the mountains = emissions. West of the mountains = straight exhausts and test pipes. However Virginia laws regarding vehicles are complete BS. DOT and CARB approval means nothing to VA police. It explicitly says anything not factory equipment is illegal.. including wheels. If they want to be picky they can give you a ticket for non-stock wheels. Usually it gets applied to lowering or lights or exhausts, but it's possible. Yay VA let's be a huge pain in the ass to our residents!

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

They want to apply California's emission standard here in Quebec. ---- California! But not the bikini....

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

I see 25 year old cars (15 years old in canada)becoming more and more popular. its the only sure way to get around the emissions laws.

I wonder if they would still write a ticket for illegal exhaust on a 25 year old car...

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Up to 1.9L = $0

No problem here! ;D

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

Good mabey their will be less big pile of ---- SUV's that only pull out infront of me when im on my bike :7

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

As far as I'm concerned bikers should get a ton of benefits. Tax breaks, no vehicle tax, special lanes everywhere, etc.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

What are Washington's emissions laws? Only been out here a few months and looking to pick up an EF soon as the Mustang sells and the tax return comes in.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

God damn I hate this state.

small displacement FI FTW.

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

you'll still get hit with the carbon tax LOL

Re: WA State proposed engine displacement tax
 

No emissions in kitsap county.
