Just wait till SEMA sees this and goes to show the bill how that law will have an effect on business and put people out of work.

 

No kidding! Tires too?

 

Just what we need, more Oregon Duck fan's moving to Washington

 

wow thats just retarded

 

It wont all be Ducks, you'll be getting the Beavs too lol

 

This is a guy with Way too much time on his hands, yet who's applying so little grey matter. The cost of such a program, the negative impact it could have on safety and the ability to cure so little is staggering.

Is it possible that this guy just wants to get publicity and his name on legislation? Hm-m-m-m.

 

I'm going to agree with you, this is fuped-up. Oregon doesnt have the economy to support this move, and Oregon is always the last to recover from economic crap.... Give you a quick idea of how bad it is, my school (LBCC) is laying off 100 employees(managers, faculty, classified staff) before the academic year is out..... I think the number has gone up to 1billion dollars that needs to be cut across Oregon....

 

So what happens when your tires are bald and you have to change them??
