RE: LD 1642, An Act To Reduce Road Noise within Posted Areas
Chair Damon, Chair Mazurek, Members of the Committee
On February 2nd you will be hearing for and against, “LD1642 An Act To Reduce Road Noise within Posted Areas “. Which is in principal a very good idea, but in language very wrong.
The problem of commercial vehicles using engine brakes in residential areas is an annoyance that we can all agree upon. I myself live near the exit ramp portion of the Veterans Memorial Bridge in Auburn ME. and have been awoken more than once from a sound sleep by the use of an engine brake on a Tractor Trailer using the roadway.
However the language used in this bill does not cover just commercially registered vehicle, but throws an all encompassing blanket over all motor vehicles and this is where I have an issue. If this bill is geared toward commercial vehicles then word it so that is the focus of the bill.
In my capacity as an avid Automobile Enthusiast, as well as being an ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician, ASE Certified Advanced Level Engine Performance Specialist, ASE Certified Under Car Specialist, ASE Certified Service Consultant, along with being a State of Maine Licensed Inspection Technician, Class A & E and the Chief Safety Inspector for the National Street Rod Association in the State of Maine, I can easily say that the decibel levels asked for in this bill are virtually unobtainable without a monetary burden being placed upon the owner/ operators of these vehicles or the businesses that own them. In some cases this could be a burden that can not be readily absorbed by these businesses and could cause more job losses. The level asked for by this bill would not allow any traffic from any vehicle, as normal ranges found on New Vehicles is 70db or higher.
The 62 decibel level asked for in this bill is unrealistic and any research that has been done should be reexamined before setting any standard. If a statute is in place stating that 95 db is the standard for maximum noise levels then that standard should be adhered to and the statute should be strengthened to give enforcement better training and ability for stronger enforcement.
You must remember that the decibel is not a term of measurement but a term of comparison as stated by several Audio Labs that are experts in sound deadening and have written several items that show in chart form that a normal conversation’s decibel level is somewhere in the 50 to 60 range and normal traffic noise from inside a car is 85 decibels. All these figures can be obtained from the following websites and I ask that you yourselves look at their charts and compare this with the levels asked for by LD1642.

Politics Suck
As we sit and try to stay warm, we often grow complacent as to what is going on in other places. We get the full scoop of Haiti and Iraq and Anti-terrorist and economic woes blasted at our brains everyday to keep us aware of the tragedy or bravery that goes on in the world and I say good, as we need reminding on all of this.
What we don't hear about is the Bullshit pumping public officials that we thought were on our side doing their devious little deeds in the name of public service while being a minion of some demon from a world we heard about as children.
The elected minions are at it again and thanks to some research we have a Legislative directive that can in the most perverse use of the letter of the law hurt us as car people. Without further ado I give you LD1642.
An Act To Reduce Road Noise within Posted Areas
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §1912, sub-§1-A is enacted to read:
1-A. Excessive noise within posted areas. A person may not operate a motor vehicle in an area designated as a quiet zone by the department or the Maine Turnpike Authority and clearly identified as such by posted signs if the noise emitted by the motor vehicle exhaust system exceeds 62 decibels at a distance of 50 feet or greater. This subsection does not apply to motor carriers governed by 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 202 (1986).
SUMMARY
The bill clarifies the law regarding excessive noise as it relates to mufflers and exhaust systems of motor vehicles operated within posted areas designated by the Department of Transportation or the Maine Turnpike Authority.
Now this little gem was thought up by some poor misdirected legislator who has a problem with the engine brakes used on tractor trailers in the wee hours of her frigging nappy time. Yet reading this drivel it clearly states "a motor vehicle" not "commercially registered motor vehicle" as it should.
This proposal is in direct conflict with statutes that clearly set the legal limit on Exhaust noise at 95db as was passed and approved and signed by John "twiggy" Baldacci in 2003. if this law is passed as it is written I can see every little piss ant town cop thinking he can measure decibels better than his waist line trying to make a name for himself in town.
Unfortunately this one slipped through the cracks until today and I apologize for that. After some digging and calling there will be a small, but pretty loud, contingent going to the public hearing on Tuesday afternoon to wreak havoc on the Transportation Committee. After awhile you would figure they would realize that screwing with us, is like teaching a pig to sing. It is a waste of time and tends to piss off the pig.

Look Out Ethel
As most of you may know Barret -Jackson was this past weekend in Scottsdale AZ. What you may not know is that is only one of several Automobile and Automobilia related Auctions in Scottsdale that same weekend.
All the big name Auction Outlets come to make the rich poorer and us poor folks cry. Lets face it these auctions are just one rich guy selling his car to another rich guy and not caring what they pay or how it affects the market. In doing so they keep these inflated prices up so that ordinary Joes like us can't compete.
However this year was a little different as Mother Nature came into play and reduced the prices of some of these vehicles, drastically. Russo & Steele had erected giant tents to keep the cars in much like they do every year. A storm went whipping through and ripped up the tents and damaged the cars and trucks beyond belief. Then hail came in with rain and really made matters worse.
The final Tally was 1.5 Million dollars in damage to over 600 vehicles.
We all have at one time or another used a Canopy as shelter from the rain or sun and most use some sort of Spike or Weight to secure it, but can we be sure that is enough. Make sure its secure, make sure the one next to you is secure. When it gets windy, take it down or take off the canopy portion. I don't want it to happen to any of you and we all need to be aware that this can happen very quickly. I have provided a link so that you may view the damage. It is rather scary and sickening.

Names
Everybody has a Name for their vehicle or at least they call it something. I know people who have called the vehicle by an affectionate name or screamed a profane name when they act up.
Some of the more Zen like people actually talk to the thing like its alive with words of praise or endearment. I myself pat the roof from time to time and say "Thank You" after a rather rough day filled with near misses. Shaw's Ridge in 09 was the last of those.
The Names we call our cars and trucks are the more interesting of the 2. We have such names as "The Spirit" from Bob Reed, "Pretty Women"from Tom and Deb. In these cases I'm not sure if it is a reference to the vehicle or a statement about the owner, but in either name they fit both ways.
On the other hand we have a descriptive name like "Purple Passion", which is as desriptive as you can get. Possibly "Rattillac" is more desriptive of the way the paint was applied than the paint itself as "Flatillac" would be a better word when it comes to that. As names go, humor is a good thing, as can be seen in Mike "Smitty" Smith's name for his "Nipple High" coupe as the roof only comes to his nipples.
The picture that is with todays ramble was given to me by"ChopTop", who in fact drives a full on Custom Lead Sled that is a Chop Top.
I'm Kinda hoping the person that built this is a midget or dwarf. If not I hope they call it "Knee Capper" or "Ankle Biter" and not "Skinner" or "Bagger" or worse yet "Nut Sack"

So Far
We have been getting dates and minor details on upcoming events and posting those on the Road Scholars Site on a regular basis. As most of you know I run both and try very hard not to let the opinions of this blog run into the Business of the Road Scholars.
Everybody has their opinion of the club and as far as that goes its none of our business what you think.
The Club does however pride itself in the use of a tool, we all have, to the best of its ability and that tool is information. Local Shows to National Events, Clothing to Insurance, Swap Meets, News Commentary and Photos all come with the visit, they even have a list of eatery's, free of charge to you and your organization to use as you want. Contacts to other Clubs and Blogs is a necessary evil in this day and age and those to are also provided to you all.
This year they expanded it a little by posting most of the larger venues from all over New England, because believe me or not, shows do happen beyond the borders of Maine.
Now that we have gotten over that bit of shameless promotion, its onward with rumors and other contrived verbiage that could be called news.
So far a few of these shows have argued the Special Interest class conflicts and drama of last year and 2 have confirmed that they have no interest in Special Interest and have gone with a Custom Class or Open Class thus eliminating a bit of Drama from their full agenda. Other shows of which another 2 have said it will be on the agenda of a future meeting, are also leaning in the that direction. With this being on the agenda at many club meetings, hopefully others will spread the word that alternatives can be made and the old enjoyable car shows can return.
Maybe this year I won't have to pack my Chainsaw to cut the Tension.

Why?
Why does your Computer Crash when you need it. Why do you need to pee just as you are ready to leave. Why is the sky blue, grass green, shit brown and piss yellow. Sometimes you need to ask yourself these things in order to get a true respect for the important questions in life.
I was asked a Question the other day by persons who don't read this rag frequently enough to really get the idea of a different slant on the happenings in our hobby. They represent an aspect of this hobby I actually ignore with great impunity as they cause me mild diarrhea and indigestion whenever I talk with them for more than 10seconds. The question was, "Why do you keep doing the blog, nobody reads it anyway."
So as I write this I'm also doing some research on Google, you know the worlds largest search engine with more references and statistics than we as mere humans could ever imagine.
Google does things and that is constantly change the order of importance of web sites as to the relevance and popularity of the site, as to the determination of your request, so on and so forth.
I did a Google search for this rag and out of 4 searches that were performed this is what I found.
If you punch in Exhaustfumes as one word this rag comes up or came up as 61st of 379,000 sites of the same name or subject. Then again if you used the real name of the site which is Exhaustfume, it came up at this time as 15 of 23,700. Now I'm getting people confused, the title says Exhaust Fumes but the address is Exhaustfume, when I started this that name belonged to a guy from India that hasn't posted in 3 years.
Now if you had forgotten the address and wanted Exhaust Fumes Blog it came in at #2 of 62,200 and again at #2 if you completely smoked your lunch and only remembered Hotrodders in Maine and thats of 13,700.
So through my biased research I have found that more people read this drivel than I expected. That the People that asked me the question are nowing asking for Ketchup for the crow they eat and I can blow my own horn pretty dam good.
Stay tuned for updates on the All Clubs Social

I Could
I could rant and rave about Facebook but I won't. That has to do with finally getting a grasp on the concept of Facebook and learning how to "Hide" certain aspects of the whole network thing.
I could scream unkind names at the idiot that tried to post unwanted photos on the Road Scholars site but there is no need as the door is closed and since writing about it the person of unknown animal descendants has not been back.
I could attack some past transgressors that found independent behavior patterns and free form thinking an affront to their close minded opinions. At this time there is no need, for they have been silent as they hibernate for the time being.
I could even claim that I've been stricken with writers block but I'm not a writer and have never claimed to be. The truth be told I've basically had nothing to write about, even my adventures at Wally-World have been marvelous compared to the previous forays.
I could actually say that I'm speechless but as you can see for yourselves I'd be lying to you.

Security
Today was a day for security. It seems someone tried and failed to post some unwanted content in the Photo Gallery on the Road Scholars web site.
This was due to fact that the security was set to medium because I trusted that most people would leave it alone and for the past year they have. I found this out due to the tracking software that is included at no cost for finding where your traffic is coming from and if I pay for the premium package I can tell where your going.
I know he or she is an AOL user and the I/P address is saved for future reference and useage in ways only I can dream of. This is the first and last time they will get as far as they did as the web site security is now cranked on high and the door that could be opened is now bolted and locked.
Webs.com has been notified and they are watching traffic better than I can ever try too.
So whoever used AOL with this I/P 64.12.116.100 at around 3:30PM to 4:00PM on 1/5/10 I can find you. Don't screw around you hack.

Facebook Redux
After much consternation , debate, argument and raving against the Machine I have decided to delve once again into the Social Networking Fiber that seems to drive the Nation as only technology can. This has come about with the idea of promoting a business with a cheap means of advertising, thus the 2nd attempt at trying to understand Facebook.
This does not mean that I will accept any and all contacts as friends, that way I can keep the content to a more business like atmosphere. Finding out the perfect way to bake muffins, or finding out whose husband couldn't get it up, is exactly the thing that drove me away the first time.
Your friends list may surpass the National Budget, mine doesn't and won't. So if you feel I have snubbed you by not making you a friend, your absolutely correct in going with your feeling, I did. It wasn't personal, it was business. I will however state that this may become a bigger pain in the balls than last, and could lead to my closing the account before I finish this Posting.
This does not mean that I will accept any and all contacts as friends, that way I can keep the content to a more business like atmosphere. Finding out the perfect way to bake muffins, or finding out whose husband couldn't get it up, is exactly the thing that drove me away the first time.

Just, Happy New Year!
