Henry “Heavy D” Sparks and “Diesel Dave” Kiley, better known as the Diesel Brothers on the Discovery Channel, have been ordered to pay $848,000 in fines for illegally modifying the emissions control systems of diesel pickups. The Standard-Examiner newspaper in Utah reported that the fines stem from around 400 violations of removing or bypassing particulate filters or catalysts that reduce NOx and soot emissions.

From the same story:

"Contrary to popular myth, there are performance products that boost power but still maintain a vehicle’s emissions compliance. Cold air intakes, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, camshafts, headers, and exhausts can all be certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to be sold, installed, and used on public roads in all 50 states."

Previously earning around $13 a day, the fisherman is set to net a whopping $320,000 thanks to his chance find. In 2016 three friends fishing off the coast of Qurayat in Oman struck gold after finding a large lump of the stuff, which was valued at nearly $3 million.

If I kept a whale in my pool, and fed it my mother in law's cooking, I would make a fortune?

Not often seen pinstripes option on the 70 Mach 1. They were standard on the Grande'. Wheels incorrect. No Magnum 500 option for the Mach 1. Boss 302 only.
