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. Shit even a Smart car could make 150bhp.

And seriously Pickups? WTF?

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

That is why I think it is funny as hell that they want to ban cars over 150 bhp. That is what...around 75% of the cars on the road today? And Honda VTEC getting banned...I wonder if she knows that VTEC (ex, not SI) d motors are for fuel economy, and not really performance.

Everyone this bill is fake. First, there isn't a 115th Congress. The current Congress is the 110th. The 115th Congress won't sit until 2017-2018; plenty of time to get the Democrats out of office!

Second, if you do a search of the Library of Congress, HR 10200 IH doesn't exist.

Third, the House of Representatives' website reports that Congress wasn't in session when this bill was supposedly introduced.

This doesn't mean that sometime in the future, while the Democrats enjoy a possible fillabuster proof Congress with a Democratic president that they won't try this and other crazy stuff.

Some parts of Asia tax cars based on their Hp ratings. Imagine when you pay for your tags the fee is based on your cars Hp.
