you know when china held the Olympics they had to shut down all the factorys for the air to clean up. this is why scrap prices went through the roof at the time, cause they have no EPA or very little laws. i hate to say it but if we all (americans) drove these trucks now days instead of the low emissions trucks/cars we would be just as bad off.

Hmmmm...lets see, a 65-71 Chevelle SS, or a 2014 equinox. Any takers? I'll take the chevelle and a respirator!!
