I have followed his story where the EPA came after him for illegal tunes. He owed the gov 3.1M in fines….he just posted this. The presidential car is running his illegal tunes and it’s a deleted LML….not surprised.

Military and gov vehicles have never been under EPA regulations. Hardly news.

I love the fact that they are fining him after making him work for them though :barf:

it would be even better if he held some sort of terms of service agreement over his software that allowed him to rescind their usage, but probably not.

Even if he did, how do you enforce that ?

"hello, please give me my ECU back !" :laughing:

I’m pretty sure he wasn’t forced to tune the beasts ecu.

Rules for the but not for me....

Regardless what anyone says or thinks....our government was never intended to work that way by our founders. We've simply allowed it.
 
He should charge the government how much he had to pay in fines for him to tune the Beast

I understand they are exempt but the double standard. Thanks for helping us! In return we will fine you 3 million dollars

Helping them what? Destroy the world?

So Brandon gets to lecture us on being green, but drive and fly around with no ****s given about global warming?
Why, exactly, is the beast running a deleted engine? I thought those emissions systems were good enough for our supply chain to rely on? I thought we were told that the emissions systems didn't effect engine reliability or longevity at all?
I thought that the security of our future and that of the penguins and polar bears rely on those emissions systems.

I hope a baby seal slaps the **** out of Brandon for polluting its delicate habitat.

Could you imagine if he had that and used it? The FBI would have Waco'd his house with his family in it claiming he was a MAGA domestic terrorist.

oh you'd have to take them to court.
terms of service is a contract dispute.
 
I get his argument 100%, however I doubt the .gov directly contacted him to delete the emissions devices on an LML. Who build "the beast"? Did they actually ask for defeat devices?

I'm sure the gov can **** you in more ways than one.

Ohhhh, IRS auditors just showed up out of nowhere the same morning I deposited my motion :homer:

you'd have to try that one in the court of public opinion first.

Who's gonna go edit the beast's wikipedia entry with the fact that it's not emissions compliant?
 
They will probably come after him for a breach of confidentiality agreement or something like that. Pretty sure the specs and capabilities of the beast is a guarded secret.

I mean modern marvels covered it. And it’s not hard to find comparable technology and correlate.
 
Kory is not stupid, has good lawyers and the money to fight them tooth and nail. They have been trying to get him for a couple years and he has successfully held them off. I guess the EPA has had enough of that **** and decided to go all in and make up new ways to go after him. Pretty much the same thing our government is doing to Trump nowadays..... :shaking:

I race SxS's with Kory and his brother Jacob and they are some of the nicest most selfless people you could ever meet. This really is a shame. :frown:

I think it was a cover article in Popular Mechanics when the damn thing was new. It's not like there's much to learn from the specs, other than that all the obvious things that aren't going to work against it definitely aren't going to work against it.
