Just bringing this out for more to see. Go to www.changingtheplanet.com This was already discussed under "keyed paint damage", so try to keep the political views and punishment ideas to yourself, enough has been said already. Read the other thread if you have to. I have been communicating with this group, and am trying to get them to revise their rules of engagement and take the diesel ex off the targeted list. I know there are some real issues here, but a bunch of flaming e-mails from us will only end the dialogue or move it to an unconstructive level. I am in need of real emmissions information on the PSD so I can make a case for the diesel. Thanks.

Good luck Shamuex2000...however, you're probably not going to get anywhere with these extremist environmentalists.
Unfortunately, FACTUAL data means nothing to them, especially if it conflicts with their agenda. Look at the ozone layer lies that are STILL perpetuated contrary to all factual evidence of how ozone is created, destroyed, etc.
Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six" novel gave a chilling insight to the minds of these people...and even though his book is fiction, I have no doubt that he accurately exposed their ultimate goal. The end of his book was great!
Don't forget, you are dealing with secular religious beliefs with these people...so facts don't factor (pun intended).
Shamuex2000 Ford does not badge the X with PSD labels. The only way you can tell it is a diesel is if you look at the size of the tail pipe. You can order badges from the dealer and put them on though. I did. [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
Good luck with the yo yos and take care.
ON EDIT: Your link is not working for me either???

Consider the consequences of your actions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other than the possible destruction or vandalism of private property with this bumper sticker effort, certainly your actions and intentions are commendable. But don't you all think that more of a difference could be made if you perhaps: worked with lawmakers to phase out diesel engines; or get mandated emission controls on lawnmowers; or get home builders to stop putting fireplaces in new homes; or get tax breaks to those who buy hybrids or produce fuel cells; or create incentives to get 20+ year old vehicles off the roads? New SUVs are NOTHING compared to old cars regarding emissions. You all appear educated and creative but this just looks as though there are other motives than a concern for the environment.

This Came From the above Website link how could you guys justify even talking to these Wackos [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]
Sorry But these people make me nuts I want the Diesel truck for its efficency on the job that I want it to do PS Mr Green save the earth. I will use less resources than you will with your little 4cyl gas miser Gas Vs Diesel Towing is 50 to 75% more efficent than Gas Based on what I have seen in the Diesel Websites. Even the Jetta TDI 50 Mpg Vs honda Accord 35Mpg 20cents less a gallon and 50% greater fuel Economy that seems like I am doing my part to conserve resources and keep the planet Green.

Same ol story here with these inbreds! Hate to say this but.........Nothing but bunny hugging liberal Democrats! I am sure these idiots are also anti gunners also! The real deal is though, these are the little punks that struck out at kickball back in school and had their lunches stolen! Now they are going to take it out on the world with such a perfectly chosen cowardice move. I hope that one day I get the chance to see some one key my truck! Then it is going to be back in the bathroom in school all over again for these little sissy punks. I am sure they talk of all the animal cruelty stuff also, like saving a birds life over a human or something? Yet, they all eat whoppers and wear leather shoes. I for one hope that they have taken every proper precaution with one of their rice burning vehicles that they drive.........because ya never know now do ya!
Ok I am off my soapbox!

Had occasion to see a keyed X at the dealership. The damage was about $3000+. They keyed every side and finished by keying "Ha-Ha" into the paint. IF I catch them.....

Hmmm, don't know if I should say this as some tree hugger might be reading but here goes.
Wouldn't a good way to catch them be to register on their site and join in a tagging event? Then you would know where they are going and could alert the police. Or better yet, not alert the police and alert the vehicle owners. [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
You know it's legal to shoot someone in Texas after dark if they are committing a crime on your property?

A few months ago I had a teenager pull out in front of my truck with a old toyota tercel and those damn "green peace" stickers all over the back, I blew my air horn and damn near road over her. At the next light she proceeded to write down my tag number and said that I will get mine one day soon, you gas hog!!!
Well, sure enough 2 days later around 3:00 am my infrared camera's and alarm turn on an there were 2 kids outside around my X. I grabbed my 50 cal. dessert eagle with laser sight and went outside to scare the $h!t out of these kids. It worked once they saw that laser in the dark of night I held them until the sheriffs arrived.
Why do people have to be such a pain in the A$$ at 3:00 am??? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

wiseasp - Neighbor, you should know better that blow your horn at those green peace loving teenagers. They mean no harm. You are the one living in a liberal state. I would be surprised if Harford County's or Belair's finest did anything about it except tell you that you did something wrong. It is sad we need to put up with this.
On a more serious note - I hope to see your Excursion soon. It sounds nice and I am interested in your lights.
Have a great one,
John [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
