    I’ll have to rethink my dream of moving to Australia and having my own prime mover if it’s gonna have to have a ecm speed limiter on it……..

    I would guess deletes are a no no too…..

    and I thought you guys were fun down there…..

    P.S. I specialize in 10 over……

    I don't smoke anything, can't stand the smell and don't want the expense. Really think about who's pushing for the speed limiters, is it not megas? Who has the most to gain? Think long term. The elds and speed limiters aren't about safety, they're about artificially controlling your income. Do you think Jeff bozos or swifty mcswift(idk who owns swift) cares if some poor driver gets smeared on the side of the road? Hahaha no, but they care if the extra money goes to said driver instead of them. The politicians don't care either, but if bozos makes extra money from not having to pay a driver or warehouse worker, that's extra money he can give to said politicians.

    I took the rant as one of those "lump sum" deals, wherein one idiot American represents the mass.

    you are correct. I could see the steam building. I post on an American Drag Racing forum and it is a free-for-all, so much anti-Australian and Australian hate due to our rules and regs it makes you eyes water

    Can I count on your vote? Why would I want msnbc to back me? They're a TV channel. Tell me I'm lying. Tell me it's a coincidence that the speed limiters are being pushed the same time automation is taking off. Let me guess, you think all those mining and oil jobs will just come back when the right person waves their magic wand? Lol automation is the biggest job killer, not "illegals" or China or whatever line you're being fed on fox. But keep simping for them, they'll feed you a few crumbs to keep you satisfied as they rape the earth.
