Well, I guess it is inevitable…  We can’t have leaded gas, so no reason to let us have lead wheel weights. What next, I can’t use my cell phone while driving without a hands free attachment?  Wait, oh, never mind. Don’t get me wrong I’m not one that dumps oil down the sewer, or throws my aluminum cans in the trash, I put my old weight in a can not the trash and how many wheel weights are fly off of cars these days? They don’t catch a breeze and blow in the wind? And where does this lead come from, I thought it was in the ground already? … Well maybe it is from Canada or something. I had better look on the web for more data. This smells like the Global Warming, Global Ice Age, Global Warming thing. Remember Freon (12) well that was banned for R134A, which was supposed to be a good thing, well not so much.

As I have said before, when  Mother Nature really gets sick of us she is going to hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and start fresh. How long before we piss her off that bad?

And finally I just ordered a couple of boxes of tape on LEAD weights before they become illegal and I have to pay 3x the price on Ebay, I can see the ad title “Vintage NOS LEAD wheel weights NO LONGER AVAILABLE” and the bidding war will ensue.
