CARB is at it again...forcing businesses in the state to stop using
legally purchased equipment and vehicles before their end of life. 
This is an illegal "taking" of private property.  If you want it
buy it!  The  trouble with CARB is you people want us in business
to pay for all your hairbrained ideas. 

If you want to buy all of my older trucks FINE!  But if you want
to follow through with this illegal taking of my property and the
devaluiing of my used equipment COMPENSATE ME FOR IT!  of course
you will next atempt to make me pay you to to pay me for my own
stuff!!??  I will not do that!

AND IN THIS ECONOMY??????????  You people must be daft.  I have
trucks that run seasonally and in support of the State's Ag economy
(which you are also trying to regulate out of business)they get
very few miles and last for decades.  My oldest and still fully
licenced and road worthy vehicle with a motor, is a 1984 and it
pulls a 1990 trailer.  Another is a 1989 truck that pulls a 1976
trailer.  I expect that a couple of my newer units, 2000 models
will be serviceing businesses and Ag for decades to come.

It is my decision to buy and when to do so as it is MY MONEY.  I
am trying to keep the dozens of families employed in this business
working.  I know you want to chage that (though you will deny that
in public).  You will say that you are just trying to save the
enviroment from us "bad people" who have supported you and your
driving habits and agriculture since my grandfather's days in the
30's.

I WILL RESIST, I WILL REFUSE TO COMPLY, I WILL BE A PART OF ANY
LAWSUIT INDUSTRY BRINGS ON YOUR WACKED OUT PLAN TO STEAL VALUE FROM
MY 75 FAMILTY BUSINESS!  YES, IT IS STEALING TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT
BELONGS TO OTHERS BEFORE THEY ARE DONE USING IT. 


 The saddest part is you don't even realize what you are doing,
you think it is a good thing to TAKE FROM OTHERS as long as you can
justify it in your own mind!
