Yes you would think that about Portland and hybrids. trust me those people don't like us much. All you have to do is ask them about what happens when they toss that hybrid in the trash? All those batteries. You know Energizer is preaching they make recycled batteries now, 3% recycled...
I think its awesome that even though we have all the Hybrid people and such up here. OR doesn't require emission testing or inspections on Diesel 3/4 and 1-Ton.
Hell where I live I don't even have to take my Vette to emissions. I just pay the plate fee.
