i may have read it wrong, but did it say boats with motors over 25hp or with jet drives? so no more jet skis either? i'm glad our elected officials have time to sit around and come up with things like this.

Ummm thats everything. **** even a Smart car could make 150bhp.

And seriously Pickups? WTF?

EDIT: I think someone made this up just to **** people off. I searched on Google and cant find anything about this, besides a link to the forum.
