          Not only do diesels stink, so do cars with catalytic converters.  At
          a stop-light, I almost suffocate sometimes.

          I saw on the news this week that in Cook County ( Chicago ) the EPA
          was stopping and inspecting cars.  (They were not giving tickets,
          just taking a survey.)

          Question:

          Now that the government and car-makers have agreed  to produce
          vehicles with emission equipment warrantied 5 years and 50,000
          miles, what are the owners legal obligations after 5 years and
          50,000 miles?

          We all know someone who has removed their catalytic converters.  Is
          this legal after 5 and/or 50,000?
