Shesh,
I never called you a liar Bill, and I never said you can't read. I called
BS on the information itself. I'm sorry you feel it was a personal attack,
it wasn't.
My sources I already elaborated on previously. Oklahoma laws, etc. Read
what I wrote, I spelled it out. And if you would kindly read what I wrote,
you'd notice I thanked Randal for finding the proper law citation. In fact,
you might even notice that I immediately went from calling BS to completely
acknowledging that the law exists. Enough to make it seem that I, er,
changed my mind. ;-)
Like I said in the message that you apparently didn't read, while I'm sure
the law is real (it is), it doesn't appear to be enforced. I found electric
vehicle clubs in Oklahoma, and nary a mention of this with their converted
cars. Not one of them showing the windshield sticker the law requires. I
found alternative fuel vehicles in Oklahoma, same thing. I found companies
in Oklahoma making EV's and various conversions, with no mention of this
law, and not a single windshield sticker on any of the vehicles shown.
I'm sorry you got so bent out of shape and feel so personally attacked. You
weren't. I doubted the accuracy of the story (heavens, to think I would
ever doubt a news story or something someone said on the internet!) after
being unable to find any substantiation of it on my own.
