[ARC5] BC-454-B Dymamotor Question

[Mike Feher]

My son-in-law rebuilt the engine completely, in my driveway, about 5 years
ago on a Chevy Lumina. No lifts or anything, just a lot of work. NJ no
longer requires safety checks as part of vehicle inspection. They only
require emissions. So - you can kill yourself or others due to a faulty
vehicle, as long as you do not pollute. I am sure it is a consequence of
some federal subsidy. 73 - Mike

One reason for kids not working on cars anymore is the heavy boot of
government. You cannot get plates without safety inspections and emissions
checks, and if you modify anything, you will likely fail those tests.

Even lawn mowers are regulated, so go-carts may be illegal in some places.

So, government regulations have essentially stopped any experimentation or
innovation.

Lack of any hands-on skills is just collateral damage.

YMMV,
