just look at the cars sold in europe that can't be sold in the US(or are sold with less power) due to emissions problems.(for example, until next year or so, the Mitsu Evo 7 can't be sold here, the BMW M3 used to lose 80hp, but its down to 10 now). and japan just plain sucks at emissions.

Most of the cars coming from Europe which can't be sold here are for safety reasons, not emission standards. Altough, admittedly, North Americans are a bit anally retentive when it comes to safety.

Yeah, I hate it when the government filters out the cars that will kill me in a 15mph collision.

My dad just showed me a short movie of what the a US solider will be able to do by 2010, and I almost scares me. the suit they wear will have built in A/C and heating, braces to help support their legs so they can stand their ground in crowd control situations, a bullet-proof face sheild(the body is completely enclosed when the shiled is down) and the coolest part of all, they will be invisible, except for their face and gun. Well not totally invisible. it will appear as though where thay are standing is smeared, but its still bettter that any camoflage. the suit also can help prolong the life of an injured solider by putting pressure on a wound, or if neccesary, constricting blood flow. then he told me that they are working on an exoskelton system to be fielded by 2040 or so that will get up and run the soilder back to the nearest hospital if he is shot. I am not making this up. My father is the Deputy Director of Army Test and Evaluation Command(ATEC) although it may have gotten another name change, it seems like that happens every time I turn around. they design tests and evaluate results for everything from boots to tanks.

you've played Metal Gear Solid 2 have you?
